Flowrox, the former Larox Flowsys, has expanded its product range with the launch of the largest hose pump in the world – the LPP-T100 hose pump. It can pump a maximum flow of 100 m³/h with pressures up to 10 bar. Using the unique Flowrox roller design, the pump will deliver 31 litres per single 360° revolution and still only requires 25 litres of lubricant, says Markus Rossi, Manager of Hose Pump Technology at Flowrox.
Rossi states: “We have proven performance in the toughest applications, handling heavy duty media especially in Mining, Minerals and Metallurgy as well as in energy, construction and environment industries, among others. Thickener underflow is an excellent application for the LPP-T100 hose pump. With over 100,000 deliveries during over 30 years of experience in flow control technology, Flowrox is well-known also for its heavy duty pinch and knife gate valves as well as progressive cavity pumps. Flowrox states that its products have the lowest total cost of ownership and very high efficiency.
Flowrox hose pumps are ideal for pumping various slurries and dosing a wide range of abrasive, corrosive, viscous or crystallising media. They incorporate an advanced design, which eliminates friction, maximises hose life time and reduces energy consumption. They also offer various process benefits, such as a continuous flow rate 24/7 without overheating, resulting in higher flow with a smaller pump; accurate flow; the medium does not have to be homogeneous; and there is no mixing or shearing of the medium.
Flowrox hose pumps can also run continuously at 98°C due to the low friction rolling design, while technical features and benefits lead to reduced energy consumption, easier maintenance and lower operating costs. The company also provides its customers also with a wide range of cost saving service solutions including spare hoses for hose pumps, spare sleeves for pinch valves and spare part services and service agreements for progressing cavity and centrifugal pumps. Tailored service agreements include condition monitoring, 24h service, spare components, stocking, maintenance and repairs, full or part rebuilds and overhauls, covering the whole life cycle of the equipment.
