4 Complete Turnkey Services Concept We work with you to understand your performance and cost requirements and develop a complete product specification. Design Utilizing state-of-the-art 3D CAD systems, stress analysis tools and performance modeling we develop an innovative solution for your specified performance criteria. Engineering After design completion, we identify and fabricate major components, and then transfer the design concept to our rapid prototype development area. Testing The prototype is tested under actual conditions in accordance with the requirements of regulatory compliance organizations. We provide products that comply with UL, ETL, and CE under ISO:9001 and ISO:13485 standards. Services Our partnership with you doesn t end with the sale. We are available for after-sales support, quality assurance audits and other requested services to ensure you are completely satisfied with the product. Markets & Applications Our range of expertise in a variety of served markets provides innovative solutions to your specific application needs. These efforts have translated into making our world healthier, cleaner and safer. Some of the markets and applications we serve are: Agriculture Seed coating, Breeding, Vitamin dispensing Construction Pumping pigment for decorative cement, Cement aggregate, Asphalt Environmental Sampling from remediation wells, Sample pumps for on-line water analyzers Electronics Polishing semi-conductor wafers, Cable indentification Filtration Water filtration, Harvesting cell cultures Food and Beverage Product dispensing pumps, Flavoring additives Medical devices Ablation, Surgical irrigation, Endoscopy, Liposuction Pharmaceutical Stem cell generation, Tablet coating, Cell culture Printing Inks, Coating for flexible packaging Wastewater treatment On-line analyzer sampling pumps, Chemical feed pumps Peristaltic Pump Overview Flow Performance 1 A pump head consists of only three parts: rotor, housing (occlusion bed) and tubing. The tubing is placed in the occlusion bed between the rotor and housing where it is occluded (squeezed). Flow rates: Less than 3 μl/min to more than 400 LPM Pressure performance: Up to 250 psi Microflex 2 The rollers on the rotor move across the tubing, creating a vacuum and drawing in fluid. As the next roller comes around a pillow of fluid is formed between the rollers. 3 Multichannel P/S Series I/P Series B/T Series , ,000 ml/min These pillows are specific to the ID of the tubing and the geometry of the rotor. Flow rate is determined by multiplying speed by the size of the pillow. This pillow stays fairly constant except with extremely viscous fluids.

5 Market Application Surgical Irrigation Pumps Peristaltic pumps provide a gentle natural flow rhythm to irrigate tissue and improve surgical site cleanliness. Life Science Medical Devices and Bio-Processing Peripheral Arterial Disease Treatment Stem Cell Therapies Ablation New treatments for PAD are used as a last resort to prevent limb amputation. During this treatment, a high pressure peristaltic pump serves to drive the spinning blade and a secondary pump is utilized to vacuum out the waste plaque. Maintaining tissue integrity during surgery is critical to a faster recovery and reduces chance of infection. Stem cell therapies are moving into the medical treatment mainstream. These extremely sensitive cell cultures and therapies require a gentle pump action and accurate flow rates to optimize cell growth and dosing making a peristaltic pump an ideal solution. Treatment of liver or kidney cancer is often done with ablation devices which need to be cooled while in operation. Peristaltic technology delivers the high pressure flow required to cool the ablation tips, thereby preventing overheating and tissue burning if cooling fails or is not present. Pharmaceutical Tablet Coating Medical Dosing Time-release tablets contain a specialized coating which is affixed to an abrasive surface. This coating prevents over dosing of drugs by allowing them to slowly dissolve upon ingestion. Tubing pumps are naturally abrasive resistant and can easily handle these fluids while providing accurate dosing rates to consistently coat each tablet. Peristaltic pumps are used to provide individualized treatment programs to drug abuse victims. The peristaltic pump technology provides sanitary and contamination free treatments to each individual s customized treatment regimen. Industrial Food & Beverage Printing Electrical Agriculture Seed Coating Cabling Adhesives Inks/ Coatings Pointof-Sale Dispensing Flavoring Dispensing Costly and shear sensitive seed coating treatment chemicals are best handled with peristaltic pumps. The pump design and its loss shear properties make them an ideal fit. The easily replaceable tubing allows quick change over at the end of the season, while being robust enough to last an entire planting season. Cable manufacturing utilizes multicolored inks to identify different types of cables. Peristaltic pumps can easily handle the abrasive ink mixture while providing an accurate flow control to help maintain optimal cost control. Peristaltic pumps can easily handle viscous and hot adhesives and are the ideal solution for a variety of processes within the industrial market. Flexographic and gravure printing presses rely on peristaltic pumps to deliver inks to the press fountains and doctor blade assemblies. The low shear pumping ability, self-priming capability and ease of tubing replacement makes peristaltic pump technology ideal for this environment. Ice cream vending machines utilize peristaltic pumps to deliver precise quantities of flavoring and cream base to a fast freeze platen that delivers ice cream from a vending machine. A contamination free pump, precise dosing abilities, and ease-of-maintenance make peristaltic pumps ideal in food applications. Do you enjoy butter flavored popcorn at the movie theatre? This popcorn flavoring is probably dispensed by a peristaltic pump. These high temperature fluids are shear sensitive and peristaltic pumps provide the gentle action need to deliver them hot and to the point-of-sale.
