The successful use of hose pumps in a number of situations led Verder to develop a hose with an enhanced construction. Hoses in peristaltic pumps generally fail due to fatigue of the reinforcement layer. Verder hoses are specifically designed and manufactured to maximise fatigue resistance, resulting in an extremely long hose service life.

 

Verderflex Hose Specification

 

12 standard hose sizes from 5mm (3/16”) to 125mm (5”)

All hoses are designed to maximize hose life by increasing the the hoses’ fatigue strength

Standard VF Hoses are available in Natural Rubber (NR), Nitrile Buna Rubber (NBR), Food Grade NBR (NBRF), EPDM and Hypalon® (CSM)

Hoses have colour coded identification tapes bonded into the outer surface during manufacture to clearly identify material type.

NR – Natural Rubber

NR – Natural Rubber

Suitable for use with lightly corrosive chemicals, highly abrasive slurries and inorganic products.

Temperature range -20°C/-5°F to +80°C/+175°F

 

NBR – Nitrile Buna Rubber

NBR – Nitrile Buna Rubber

The hose is particularly suitable for use with oily or fatty products and with organic materials.

Temperature range -20°C/-5°F to +80°C/+175°F

 

Food Grade – NBRF

Food Grade – NBRF

The NBRF hose has an FDA CFR21 & EC No. 1935/2004 approved food grade liner for use in hygienic applications.

FDA – CFR 21 Parts 170 to 189 – Item 177.2600

Maximum Discharge Pressure – 3 Bar

 

A pump’s flow rate is determined by the hose’s internal diameter and the pump’s rotor speed. The recovery (restitution) of the hose is determined primarily by the design of the re-enforcing layers. These re-enforcing layers provide maximum resistance to repeated compression and relaxation, thereby ensuring maximum hose life. This restitution also produces a suction side vacuum and this provides the hose pump with a very powerful dry priming mechanism, allowing high viscosity liquids to be pumped.
