Mouvex®, part of PSG®, a Dover company and a leading manufacturer of positive displacement pumps, is pleased to announce the addition of new models of its Abaque™ Series Peristaltic (Hose) Pumps. Unveiled at ACHEMA 2015, these new Abaque models incorporate a stronger and durable rotor design and innovative hose holding system while featuring a fresh, new look of orange and black.

Abaque pumps meet the challenging requirements of the chemicals industry, thanks in part to its seal-free design that eliminates leaks and product contamination. These self-priming pumps can run in forward or reverse and offer suction-lift capabilities to 25.5 feet (9 meters), as well as the ability to run dry without adversely affecting performance, pressure and accuracy (no slip). Abaque pumps are available in ductile iron and stainless steel construction, allowing higher discharge pressure up to 217 psi (15 bar).

“As one of the world’s largest trade shows dedicated to the chemical-processing industry, the ACHEMA Show was a perfect venue to debut new models of, as well as the new look for, the Abaque Series pumps,” said Christophe Jovani, PSG EMEA Marketing Communications Manager. “Achieving full containment of raw materials, many of which can be hazardous to people and the environment, is a key consideration for chemical processors. Abaque pumps are the ideal technology to utilize when looking to optimize the safe and efficient handling and transfer of these dangerous chemical materials.”

The Abaque Series’ pumping action is achieved by compression of a circular loop of elastomeric hose with twodiametrically opposed rotating shoes. This rotational motion forces the fluid in the hose to move ahead of each shoe. When each shoe reaches the end of the loop, the reinforced hose immediately returns to its original shape, ensuring suction and priming, creating a strong vacuum pulling more fluid inside. This results in a pump that features higher performance, increased reliability and the ability to handle the toughest pumping challenges, including extremely abrasive and aggressive fluids.

The hoses are available in natural rubber (highly resilient with excellent abrasion resistance and strength), Buna-N (highly wear resistant to oily products), EPDM (high chemical resistance when handling concentrated acids, alcohols and ketones) and Hypalon® (resistant to chemicals, temperature extremes and ultraviolet light). Abaque pumps are available in 13 different sizes, with flow rates ranging from 15 to 77,000 L/hr (.07 to 339 gpm).
