Lappeenranta, Finland (July, 2006) – Larox Flowsys.

The innovative Larox Manufacturers of peristaltic pumps set the industry standard for peristaltic pump technology. Designed for heavy industrial duties, the LPP pump is ideal for abrasive, corrosive, viscous or crystallizing media.

Larox LPP pumps incorporate a unique design, which doubles the flow, eliminates friction, minimizes hose wear and lowers energy consumption. The roller is mounted on a crankshaft creating eccentric rotation during the 360 degree operating cycle.

The operating principle of the LPP pump is based on the peristaltic effect. As the cylindrical rotor rotates along the hose, the process medium gets pushed forward through the hose. At the same time, the hose behind the compression point reverts to its original circular shape creating a suction effect at the pump inlet port. As a result, the hose bore gets filled with the medium. No backward flow can occur as the hose is squeezed tight by the roller.

According to Mr Matti Riihimäki, Vice President, Pump Products, “One compression is all you need. A single, bearing-mounted roller industrial presses against the hose only once per the 360 degree operating cycle, producing the maximum flow per revolution.”

Larox LPP pumps produce higher flow per hose compression than any other peristaltic pump. Seal less in design; the pump will not be damaged even if it runs dry for longer periods of time. The pump is designed to operate continuously at high speeds and in high pressures without the risk of overheating making it perfect for heavy duty applications.
