Bredel SPX100D hose pump
Bredel’s SPX100D hose pump is the ideal pump for challenging sludge applications. Using no valves, seals or rotors in the product stream, the SPX pump can run dry and handle high grit or air entrained sludge with ease. Offering flows up to 400 gpm, the SPX100D is perfect for scum, thickener underflow, belt press or centrifuge feed. With a self-loading design, hose replacement is quickly achieved where the pump sits. Unlike other pump types, the highly abrasive materials do not affect pump life.
The SPX100D also provides easy access to shims and shoes, and the shaft design ensures fail-safe operations. Discharge pressure reaches up to 232 psi and operating speeds reach up to 30 rpm for continuous use and up to 38 rpm for intermittent use. Materials are fully contained within the hose element and don’t come in contact with the moving parts of the pump, preventing abrasive wear.
There is no drive realignment or off-site rebuilding of the pump required, significantly reducing maintenance costs. Peristaltic hose pumps are virtually maintenance free with no expensive seals to replace, no check valves to clog and no rotors or stators to wear out. Both pump rotors are always fully and centrally supported by their own high strength bearings.
