1. GENERAL SECURITY INFORMATION
1.1 APPLICATIONS
The employment of peristaltic pumps to transfer liquids or gases has many advantages:
thanks to its operating principle it is the only pump able to carry fluids without any direct
contact with the product.
A new tube for each product can be employed, avoiding heavy cleaning.
By using a peristaltic pump you can sterilize on-line the vessels connected with the tube
and sterilize the whole system.
The product is gently carried without stress, centrifugations or turbulent actions which
could damage it; this is an additional advantage of this pump.
. The peristaltic pump IPL 10 is designed to be used in a laboratory or for industrial
purposes.
. The tube can be quickly replaced.
. The high rpm motor, coupled with a precise control system, guarantees an uniform
conveyance of the product.
. The speed of the pump IPL 10 is adjustable and it allows a precise control of the
pumped volumes.
. This pump is reversible. The rotation can be freely chosen. Even if the pump can run in
both rotation directions, it is better to use the “clockwise” one.
