Flowrox Peristaltic Hose PumpsTHE OPERATING PRINCIPLE OF A PERISTALTIC PUMPThe operating principle of the Flowrox hose pumps is based on the peristaltic effect. As the cylindrical rotor rotates along the hose, the process medium gets pushed forward through the hose. At the same time, the hose behind the compression point reverts to its original circular shape creating a suction effect at the pump inlet port. As a result, the hose bore gets filled with the medium. No backward flow can occur as the hose is squeezed tight by the roller.TECHNICAL FEATURESEquipped with standard technical features of a typical peristaltic pump such as dry run capability and self priming, the Flowrox hose pumps provide exact flow per revolution. As Flowrox pumps are seal less, they will not get damaged even if they run dry for longer periods of time. Standard technical features include:• Only the hose is in contact with the medium• No gland water or packing• Full vacuum capability• No backward flow• Positive displacementResulting in process benefits such as:• No wear and corrosion • Dry run capability • Selfpriming up to 9,5 metres • Exact flow per revolution irrespective of the pipeline pressure • Accurate flow • No mixing or shearing of the mediumADDITIONAL FEATURES Incorporating an advanced design, the Flowrox hose pumps can offer unbeatable additional features including:• 360 degree operating cycle• Only one compression per revolution• Rolling hose contact• In-line pipe connection• Reliable hose connection• Low lubrication need, only 20% of conventional peristaltic pumps’ needPROCESS BENEFITSFlowrox hose pumps incorporate an advanced design, which eliminates friction, maximizes hose life time and lowers energy consumption.

The pump operation is trouble-free and consistent.16 bar high pressure as well as acid proof pump heads are also available.Already 36 LPP-D pumps increase accuracy in dosing duties at James Hardie.LPP-D Pumps in Construction IndustryProducts: 8 x LPP-D25 pumps 23 x LPP-D20 pumps 5 x LPP-D15 pumps Medium: Paint Oil Based and Paint Pigments + CoaterSince changing to the Flowrox Pumps James Hardie Building Products, the market leader in Fiber Cement Technology in the USA, has been able to remarkably reduce downtime. Controlled by a variable frequency drive (VFD) the LPP-D pumps have also significantly increased flow accuracy. James Hardie replaced air operated diaphragm pumps with a first LPP-D20 pump for dosing of paint primer in 2007. By now they have totally 36 LPP-D pumps in each of their 6 locations.According to the engineering manager at James Hardie the air operated diaphragm pumps were failing every three weeks, and a decision was made to find a more reliable pump. The benefits they achieved with Flowrox pumps are:• Reduced downtime• Increased flow accuracy• Reduced maintenance labor costs• Reduced spare parts costs as the LPP-D hose is significantly less cost than diaphragm pump parts replacement• Reduced cost due to high air consumption of diaphragm pumps and costs of generating this air • Rolling hose compression of the LPP-D offers a more reliable uninterrupted flow of the medium to the process compared to diaphragm pumpsThe customer is very pleased with the ease of use and maintenance as well as low operating costs of the pumps. They have utilized hose or peristaltic pumps also in the past but have never been able to achieve the same level of reliability and reduced costs as now with the Flowrox pumps.
