fUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The IP Series is a positive displacement pump. The process fluid is con-
veyed by the rotor squeezing the hose in the direction of flow. No valves
are needed for this. This ensures gentle handling of the process fluid.
The IP Series has been designed for safe and uncomplicated operation,
as well as straightforward maintenance.
The IP Series can be used for many different media. However, this
pump type is often the optimal solution for abrasive, shear-sensitive and
viscose media.
Typical areas of use include processes where only a low discharge
pressure is required (max. 8 bar).
3.1 Construction
Main modules: – Drive Unit, – Housing, – Base frame
The pump housing is closed off with a screwed front cover in order to
avoid the risk of injury.
The motor serves to drive the rotor. Two rollers at the ends of the rotor
serve to press the pump hose against the pump housing.
The rotary movement of the rotors alternately press and relax the
rollers in relation to the pump hose. This serves to suck the media and
convey it into the process line.
