The metering pumps you use need to be accurate to ensure the safety of your community. The new KB Series from Albin Pump, an Ingersoll Rand business, is a robust and versatile peristaltic metering pump for high-precision dosing in water treatment or wastewater treatment applications. But not only do these pumps offer the accurate dosing characteristics needed in the industry, they ensure maximum safety and ease of use.
Pump models are offered with a maximum pressure level of 125 psi and flow rates up to 159 gph. They provide a suction lift of up to 30 feet and turndowns of 2,000-1. They feature self-priming capabilities, and are defined by their high-precision flow performance, with each rotation translating into exactly the same displacement and resulting in the delivery of a smooth and consistent chemical feed. Their offset rotor assembly releases tube compression during maintenance, which means that a tube change does not require the user to manipulate the tube while the rotor is turning or use a special tool to replace the tube. In addition, the tube can be drained and flushed prior to its removal.
“With the ability to self-prime and stay primed and its wide variety of chemically compatible hose materials, we have minimized operating costs and hassle when pumping disinfectant chemicals like sodium hypochlorite, peroxide and ferric chloride,” says Josh Donegia, global product manager, low pressure pumps for Ingersoll Rand. “Additionally it excels in the accurate metering of coagulants and flocculants as well as pH control chemicals, polyaluminum chloride, fluoride, and many other chemical metering applications.”
Albin Pump has put every effort into maximizing the safety and reliability of its newest peristaltic metering pumps, ensuring that they are easy to use and maintain. The pumps do not use any check valves or moving parts in the liquid path, with the tubing being the only wetted element and an integrated leak detection sensor in the pump housing. They are equipped with a color LCD display, and available with multiple analog and digital inputs and outputs for full control.
“Feedback on the first experiences with the new KB series of pumps has been overwhelmingly positive,” says Donegia. “Users have especially highlighted the simplicity in the user interface and ease of commissioning and doing regular maintenance on the pumps, which saves them time and solves numerous challenges they have experienced for years with other pump technologies.” www.albinpump.com
