WHAT IS A HOSE PUMP ?Working principal

• The peristaltic pump principal was found by Mr.
  HORTAUS in France in 1925.

5
WHAT IS A HOSE PUMP ?Working principal

• A pulsative flow is generated by the pushing
  action of shoes on the wall of an elastomeric
  hose.
• Shoes are assembled on a rotating wheel.
• Sealing under the shoe is performed by the
  compression of a local area of the hose.
• Friction between shoes and hose are reduced by
  using a lubricant which also acts as a coolant.

6
WHAT IS A HOSE PUMP ?Working principal

• The pumped fluid is only in contact with the
  inner wall of the hose and the inserts.
• The pump has no mechanical seal.
• Particles trapped by the passage of a shoe
  penetrate the hose wall and are ejected in the
  fluid without ripping the inner surface of the
  hose.

9
WHAT IS A HOSE PUMP ? Hose pump advantages

• Seal less construction
• Self priming pump with high suction lift (up to
  29.5 ft. of water)
• Continuous dry run is possible
• Appropriate for abrasive products
• Excellent volumetric capacity (dosing)
• Particles up to 15 of hose ID can be pumped (not
  sharp)
• Simple and inexpensive maintenance
• Reversible pump

10
WHAT IS A HOSE PUMP ? Hose pump drawbacks

• The flow has pulsation
• High acquisition cost (higher than PC or AOD
  pumps)
• This type of pump is heavy (4,410 lbs. for an
  A125 (290 gpm)

• BLACKMER (ABAQUE)
• BREDEL
• VERDER
• PCM/DELASCO
• ALPHA LAVAL

12
THE HOSEHeart of the pump

• It should withstand
• high pressures,
• cyclic compression,
• highly abrasive products,
• temperature of the fluid being pumped,
• chemically aggressive products.

13
THE HOSEHose construction

• It is made by piling layers of rubber material
  and weaves of synthetic fibers.
• 4 to 5 manufacturers worldwide are capable of
  making these hoses

14
THE HOSEHose material

• For the hose liner 3 materials are available to
  suit the diversity of products being pumped
• NR (natural rubber) abrasive fluids
• NBR (Buna) oily fluids
• EPDM acid corrosive fluids

15
THE HOSEHose material selection

• The selection of the right material is made by
• Using compatibility charts
• Conducting a soak test

16
THE HOSECleaning of the hose

• The hose is cleaned in order to avoid
• Hardening of the fluid on the inner wall of the
  hose
• Mixing various pumped fluids

• It consists of
• Water cleaning
• Cleaning with an agent (compatible with the hose
  material)
• Cleaning with sponge balls

18
THE HOSEMachining of hoses

• All our hoses are machined to obtain
• A constant hose wall thickness resulting in
  better hydraulic characteristics
• Accurate hose OD which allows for an easy change
• Reduction in electrical power consumption

OPTIONS Leak detector

• To avoid spillage of product after a hose burst,
  a leak detection sensor can be installed

40
OPTIONS Vacuum systems

• Flow rate is reduced when
• pumping viscous products (over 10000 Csp)
• having a high suction lift

41
OPTIONS Vacuum systems
We propose two types of kits

• Air ejector kit for pump turning in both
  directions
• Vacuum pump
• up to 90 vacuum
• 5 to 6 bars air pressure
• 67 Nl/mn (4Nm3/h) air consumption

42
OPTIONS Vacuum systems
We propose two types of kits

• Air suction flange kit fitted on the inlet of the
  pump
• Casing depressurization equals inlet pressure
• Air is mixed with fluid
• Not to be used if rotation in both direction or
  if inlet is in charge.

43
OPTIONS Pulsation dampeners

• When the shoe leaves contact with the hose, its
  volume in the hose is filled with the fluid of
  the discharge line creating the pulsation
• Consequences are
• shock pulse in the discharge line
• unstable pump performance

44
OPTIONS Pulsation absorbers

• Absorption is made by the deformation of membrane
  or hose controlled by compressed air
• For the hose type with 75 of outlet pressure,
  absorption can be as much as 90.

45
INSTALLATION OPERATION Sedimentary liquids

• Place inlet port on the top
• A back wash may be required to avoid build up of
  product on the inner wall of the hose
• Avoid bends and curves on discharge line
