IP 8: Precision Low-Flow Pump for High-Accuracy Applications
The Ismatec IP 8 is a highly reliable, low-flow pump that caters to laboratory and industrial needs where precise liquid handling is essential. It is engineered to deliver smooth, accurate, and repeatable fluid transfer, making it an ideal choice for applications such as chemical dosing, analytical instrumentation, and biopharmaceutical processes. The pump is designed to ensure long tubing life and minimal pulsation, with its innovative planetary drive system and unique rotor configuration.
One of the standout features of the Ismatec IP 8 is its planetary drive system, which incorporates eight stainless steel rotors. This configuration not only enhances the smoothness of the pump's rotation but also minimizes pulsation during fluid transfer. The result is a consistent, accurate liquid flow that is crucial in sensitive applications where flow irregularities can lead to errors or compromised results. Additionally, the eight-rotor system extends tubing life by reducing wear and tear, even during continuous operation.
The IP 8 offers versatile flow control capabilities, with a flow rate range from as low as 0.0015 mL/min to a maximum of 44 mL/min. The pump's speed can be adjusted within the range of 0.4 to 45 rpm, with a resolution of 0.1 rpm, allowing for precise tuning of flow conditions to meet specific requirements.
Ease of use is a key design principle for the Ismatec IP 8. It features automatic occlusion cartridges that ensure reproducible results without the need for manual adjustments. These cartridges can be installed in two different orientations to either reduce pulsation or to withstand higher counterpressure, providing flexibility depending on the application's demands. This feature simplifies the setup process and enhances the reliability of the pump’s performance.
The IP 8 is also equipped with multiple remote control options for added flexibility and integration into automated systems. It supports analog inputs for speed control (0 to 5 V, 0 to 10 V, 0 to 20 mA, and 4 to 20 mA), as well as contact closures for start/stop, rotation direction, and autostart functions via a DB15 female connector. This enables users to control the pump's operation remotely and monitor speed via an analog output, making it suitable for integration with various instrumentation setups.
With a protection rating of IP30, the Ismatec IP 8 pump is suitable for use in controlled environments. The pump operates with a power consumption of just 30 W, making it energy-efficient. It accepts Ismatec two-stop tubing, which is easy to install and replace, further enhancing user convenience.
Compact and robust, the Ismatec IP 8 measures 17.5 x 13 x 22 cm and weighs 5.1 kg, making it easy to incorporate into lab setups or portable systems. The pump’s design ensures that it occupies minimal space while providing reliable and high-precision fluid handling capabilities.
For applications that demand controlled low-flow dispensing, the Ismatec IP 8 pump delivers unmatched performance, combining precision, durability, and user-friendly features. Whether for routine laboratory work or sophisticated industrial processes, the IP 8 stands out as a reliable solution for precision fluid control.
