Durable & Rugged
The hose of a peristaltic (hose) pump is the only component that comes in contact with the pumped medium. ABAQUE® engineers hoses the are manufactured from high quality compounded rubber, reinforced by layers of nylon. Once constructed, the hose is then precisely machined for efficiency, accuracy, longevity and optimal compression.
The Abaque Series pump’s hoses are available in four materials of construction, all of which have been chosen because of their high levels of fatigue resistance:
-
Natural Rubber: highly resilient with excellent abrasion resistance and strength
-
Buna (NBR): highly wear resistant to oily products
- Buna (NBR) FDA 1935/2004: for hygienic applications (FDA and 1935/2004 compliant)
-
EPDM: high chemical resistance, especially with concentrated acids, alcohols and ketones
-
Hypalon®: high resistance to oxidants, as well as to concentrated bases and acids
