NewswireTODAY - /newswire/ - Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom, 2007/05/11 - The Water Research Centre, a leading global organisation involved in the research of techniques used in the water and waste industry, needed a pump that would provide an accurate and repeatable dosing rate in order to carry out tests on lime slurry.

The Water Research Centre approached Verder who, after careful consideration, recommended the Verderflex VF32 pump: the Verderflex pump range is used extensively in the dosing of lime slurry and has proved itself an excellent solution to this often difficult and messy problem.

The Verderflex range provides accurate dosing as well as having the ability to handle solids and run dry. Its hose is proven to give a long life thus reducing maintenance and lifetime costs.

The Verderflex range of peristaltic pumps have the following advantages:

• It has accurate and repeatable dosing;
• It can handle up to 80% solids;
• It has a low cost of ownership in relation to maintenance due to the low cost of replacing the hose;
• It can handle abrasive media;
• It has met industry recognised tests and standards.

Verderflex peristaltic pumps (verderflex.com | verderflex.co.uk) also have a very gentle pumping action, which does not damage the pumped material which can be an advantage in many applications. These peristaltic pumps offer pumping capacities from 10L/hr to 80m³/hr (0.45gpm to 350gpm), discharge pressure of up to 16bar (230psi) and the pumps have a suction lift to 95% vacuum.

The trial was a success and the Water Research Centre are now confident that a peristaltic pump is an excellent way of pumping lime slurry.
