ALP PERISTALTIC RANGE

LOW PRESSURE
Reduce maintenance downtime…
Suitable for pumping and dosing low or high viscous,
pasty, pure, neutral, aggressive or abrasive liquids, those
containing gases or which tend to froth or those contain-
ing solids in the following industries : paint, dairy and
beverage, meat and fish processing, pharmaceutical and
cosmetics Waste water and water treatment engineering,
chemical and petrochemical industries, pulp and paper,
textile, soap and fats i, building, ceramics.

ALBIN PUMPS provide process confidence and offer cost savings through :
Accurate and repeatable dosing and metering
Long life and greater reliability
Self-priming
Continuous dry running
Lowest cost of ownership
Quick and easy maintenance

SELF-PRIMING and dry-running

It is not always possible to position a pump in the ideal location and often self-priming and dry- running perfor-
mance is required. These conditions can cause wear in conventional pumps, resulting in loss of flow and premature
failure. ALBIN PUMP can self-prime up to 9.8 metres and run dry indefinitely.

LOWEST COST of ownership with quick and easy maintenance

Leakage, clogging or blockage of conventional positive displacement pumps which incorporate seals, valves,
lobes, rotors or vanes can be a regular occurrence and expensive to rectify. ALBIN PUMPS contain the fluid in a
tube or hose, requiring only one component to be changed, which means that maintenance costs are considerably
lower than other pump types. Increased plant productivity and lower repair costs means pump payback is over
months rather than years.

ACCURATE and REPEATABLE dosing and metering

Industry requires repeatable pump control for accurate dosing. Many traditional positive displacement pumps de-
liver varying flow rates, resulting in scrapped product and increased costs. ABIN PUMPS are accurate up to ±0.5%
across their total speed range, with the additional benefit of process control capabilities which allows easy installa-
tion. Less waste means increased profits.

LONG LIFE and greater reliability

Pump failure cannot be tolerated. ALBIN PUMP have no seals, valves, diaphragms, glands or immersed rotors to
leak, clog or replace. Abrasive, corrosive and aggressive liquids are handled with ease because the fluid stays within
the tube and never comes into contact with moving parts of the pump. The ALP range is designed and manufac-
tured for heavy duty industrial use, and advanced elastomer technology ensures accurate and repeatable perfor-
mance that truly outperforms all other pumps.

 PERISTALTIC PUMPS
LOW PRESSURE ALP
USING A PROUVEN DESIGN
Two rollers mounted at 180° on a rotor compress alternatively a thick-walled hose in a patented concentric guide
and push the pumped liquid from the suction to the discharge side. Roller movement compresses the hose along
the casing wall and creates constant vaccuum at the suction side of the pump. In this way, liquids are conveyed
within the hose and do not get in contact with any metal part.

ALBIN PUMPS clearly outperform other pumps which rely on seals, valves or vanes for their operation. These
components are repeatedly the cause of pump failure and high maintenance. No other positive displacement pump
offers this unique separation of pump and fluid.
In sizes ALP 09-ALP 25, the rotor is supported by oversized ball bearings located within the pump casing; in sizes
ALP 30 - ALP 45 the rotor is supported by the heavy-duty bearings of the flanged drive unit.

The ALBIN PUMP ALP range provides flow rates from micro-litres per minute to 10 cubic metres per hour and pres-
sures up to 5 bar. Fixed, variable, flameproof, and air operated drives, with comprehensive control options to enable
pumps to be configured to your requirements.

PERISTALTIC PUMPS
ALBIN PUMP PERISTALTIC IN YOUR INDUSTRY
Albin pumps are exceptionally low shear, ensuring product quality, accurate and predictable
performance with subsequent cost savings.

Pharmaceutical industry
Challenge : it demand sterility and a high degree of precision to ensure the integrity and quality of the end product.
Fluid isolation and precise metering are vital, and not meeting these demands can be enormously costly.

Pumped fluids : chemical dosing, liquid protein, vaccines, serum, plasma, syrups.

Water treatment

Challenge : reduce the down time due to maintenance of costly dosing pumps and elimination of expensive auxcil-
lary equipment.

Pumped fluids : sodium hypochlorite, ferric chloride, sodium bisulfite, fluoride, polymers, aqueous ammonia, po-
tassium permanganate, caustic soda, and many more.

Pasta industry

Challenge : inspectors are concerned about contamination if the hose breaks. Our competition uses a food grade
oil for hose lubrication, but within 1-2 days the  hose begins to wear (turns black), requiring the customer to change
hoses every 2 days.

Pumped fluids : egg white & yolk, edigible fat, semolina, natural flavoring.

Bread dough & fruit cake manufacturers

Challenge : require semi-accurate metering of viscous products containing solids.

Pumped fluids : water & salt mixtures, natural flavorings, fats, fruit cake dough/mixture (i.e. fruit cake has nuts and
fruit pieces that need to stay whole).

Cheese manufacturers

Challenge : require a low sheer pump so fibers in cheese aren’t separated.

Pumped fluids : Cream, milk and yogurt.

Shampoo manufacturers

Challenge : eliminate potential for foaming fluid on bottle filling lines. Harsh pumping action of air operated dia-
phragm pumps can cause the fluid to foam.

Pumped fluids : shampoos
