  • Flow Rates from 0.5 to 2280 mL/Min (36 GPH)
  • Mounts Directly onto OMEGAFLEX Motor or Compatible Pump Motor
  • Easily Stackable Mounting for Multichannel Pumping

The FPU500 Series peristaltic pumps from OMEGA offer exceptional simplicity, ease of use, and variable flow capability. A motor turns the pump's rollers, which squeeze fluid through precision bore tubing in a wave-like motion. The fluid does not contact the pump: only the outside wall of the tubing wall does. This makes the pumps ideal for use in sterile, corrosive, or general fluid flow operating environments.

The pump is self-priming and non-siphoning. As one section of the tube fatigues, simply move the tube along to an unused section and continue pumping. No tools are required to load the tube. A precision-molded tubing cavity provides the proper occlusion for the recommended tubing. A tube clamp holds the tubing securely in place. Tubing is easily changed without removing the pump.

One pump may be used for many different applications, or mount two pumps onto the motor. The pumps work with a wide variety of OMEGAFLEX plastic tubing. Vinyl, FKM, Tygon, silicone, Santoprene, and Norprene tubing may be purchased in a broad ranges of sizes. The standard rotor assembly is made of stainless steel.
