SubscribeWatson-Marlow Bredel takes the competition heads-on with 520RE LoadSure Elements series
Increasing its overall performance and pressure capabilities, leading peristaltic pump manufacturer Watson-Marlow Bredel has launched the 520 LoadSure elements range. The combination of the tube element and pumphead design provides pressure performance up to 7 bar, offering the company new application opportunities and strengthening its position within the market.
The 520 LoadSure range has been designed to offer pumping pressures up to 7 bar, bolstering Watson-Marlow Bredel's ability to directly compete against other pump types.
520 Series Peristaltic Pumps
A key feature of the 520 Series pumps and patented LoadSure elements is that change-over takes less than one minute, requiring no special skills and can be done by the operator. Elements are available in three tubing materials include USP Class V1 Bioprene, platinum-cured Pumpsil and long-life STA-PURE, all with sanitary Tri-clamp style connectors.
520 series pumps already form the best selling range in the Watson-Marlow Bredel portfolio, providing the robustness and reliability needed by sanitary and industrial process users. The I520U/RE facilitates analogue operation, incorporates 24V industrial logic and volt free pump-status I/O and can be password protected. For full industrial connectivity, the 520Du/RE possesses both comprehensive flow calibration and RS485-network options for serial communications control by plc.
Zoe Craik, Watson-Marlow Bredel says: "The increased performance provided by the 520RE LoadSure elements means that we are able to widen our customer base for 520 pumps considerably and compete directly against our competitors in markets that we haven't previously operated in."
"The 'Value for Life' cost provided upfront also means that customers will benefit from the knowledge that there are no installation ancillaries, hidden parts or maintenance overheads ."
As with all Watson-Marlow Bredel pumps, by containing all fluid within the tube at all times, never allowing it to come into contact with the pump mechanism, this helps provide predictable life costs for the pump as the tube is the only part that will need replacing.
