Smooth-flo dispensing and metering system launched

Edited by the Laboratorytalk editorial team Jun 16, 2009

Fluid Metering has introduced the Smooth-flo PDS100, a valveless dispensing and metering system.

The Smooth-flo PDS100 utilises dual Fluid Metering pumps precisely synchronised to eliminate pulsation typically present in other piston pump designs.

Pump heads are integrally mounted to the control unit, which includes stepper motors, drivers and programmable electronics housed in a rugged anodised aluminium enclosure.

The Smooth-flo is intuitive, menu-driven and uses convenient front-panel membrane switches and a large LCD display for programming.

The system features pulse-free fluid delivery down to 15uL/min continuous flow.

The precision dual-stepper controlled pumpheads are factory calibrated to the user's flow range.

The Smooth-flo PDS100 system offers RS485, 4-20mA, 0-5V and 0-10V electronic control interface for connection to process sensors, PLC and PC control systems.

The rugged anodised aluminium enclosure is suitable for wall mounting or bench-top installation in the laboratory or production areas.

The system includes tubing, fittings and configuration instructions for Smooth-flo PDS100 system operation.

Universal power input operates on 100-240VAC 50/60Hz.
