A 20 mm aggregate peristaltic pump is designed to handle fluids containing solid particles up to 20 mm in size. These pumps are ideal for transferring abrasive, viscous, or shear-sensitive slurries in industries like mining, wastewater treatment, and food processing.
Key Features of a 20 mm Aggregate Peristaltic Pump:
1. Hose/Tube Design
– Reinforced, abrasion-resistant hose to withstand large particles.
– Typically made of natural rubber, EPDM, or other durable elastomers.
2. Flow Rate & Pressure
– Flow rates vary based on pump size (e.g., 0.5–50 m³/h).
– Capable of moderate pressures (up to ~10 bar).
3. Particle Handling
– Can pass solids up to 20 mm without clogging.
– Gentle pumping action prevents particle degradation.
4. Applications
– Mining & mineral processing (slurries with coarse aggregates).
– Wastewater treatment (handling sludge with debris).
– Food processing (pumping fruit chunks or pastes).
5. Advantages
– No internal valves = minimal clogging.
– Self-priming and drun capable.
– Easy maintenance (only hose replacement needed).
Recommended Models
– Verderflex Dura / Husky Series – Heavy-duty options for slurries.
– Watson-Marlow 630 Series – High-flow handling with large tubing.
– Flowrox Peristaltic Pumps – Designed for abrasive mining applications.
