Peristaltic pump for dosing chemicals and transferring sludges

In the water treatment sector, the main applications for Rotho peristaltic pumps involve dosing chemicals and transferring sludges.

Dosing chemicals

The chemicals involved are mainly sodium hypochlorite, sodium bisulphite, ferric chloride, polyelectrolyte and other polymers.
When dosing difficult products such as sodium hypochlorite which forms a gas during transfer, the Rotho peristaltic pump maintains the same efficiency as it transfers both the liquid and the cushion of air it produces without blocking the line and without reducing pumping capacity.

Transferring sludges

The Rotho peristaltic pump is ideal for pumping sludges and fluids containing suspended solid parts such as stones or pieces of metal, as there is no risk of blockage or clogging.
