The 501U peristaltic pump: A reliable and accurate pumping solution for critical applications
The Watson-Marlow 501U peristaltic pump has been designed to meet the demanding requirements of laboratory environments and industrial processes requiring high precision and gentle handling of fluids. Using peristaltic technology, it enables contact-free liquid transfer between the pumped fluid and mechanical components, eliminating any risk of cross-contamination. This makes it ideal for applications where hygiene, sterility or chemical integrity are essential, particularly in the pharmaceutical, chemical, food or environmental sectors .
The 501U stands out for its modular design and ability to adapt to a wide variety of pump heads, offering maximum flexibility in terms of flow rates and compatible tube types. It is capable of delivering up to 540 ml/min depending on the head and tube used. Its intuitive manual control, combined with an integrated speed variator, allows the motor speed to be easily adjusted, ensuring precise flow control. Flow stability is maintained even with variations in viscosity or pressure, ensuring essential consistency in sensitive processes.
The robust frame of the 501U, made of corrosion-resistant materials, ensures high durability and easy maintenance. The simple, easy-to-read control screen allows immediate reading of operating parameters, and tube replacement is quick thanks to the ergonomic design of the pump head. In addition, the pump operates in both directions (forward and reverse), allowing quick purging of the circuit or reversal of flow as required.
This pump is particularly suitable for applications involving viscous, abrasive or particle-laden liquids, as the peristaltic technology prevents wear of internal components by the pumped fluid. It is also highly valued in research and quality control laboratories for the precise dosing of reagents or samples. With its quiet operation and ease of integration into automated environments, the 501U is an optimal choice for users seeking both performance and ease of use.
The Watson-Marlow 501U offers a complete, reliable and efficient solution for the transfer of sensitive or critical fluids. Its proven technology, versatility and ease of maintenance make it an indispensable tool in many scientific and industrial applications.
