Afromix
Our extensive range of peristaltic hose pumps includes one of the largest pumps of this type in the world. Our 150mm pump has a maximum flow rate of 147m³/hr and can deliver pressures up to 16 Bar. These units are ideal for thickener underflow applications.
AFX also supply hoses for many makes of peristaltic pumps and has the expertise to advise on all piping and system layouts.
The AFX PUMP SERIES are commonly used in applications where the product to be pumped has a high solids content and/ or viscosity, such as thickener underflow, slurry transfer and chemical transfer or dosing applications; but are popular solutions for many other applications which include:
| APPLICATIONS | |
| Chemical: | Corrosive acids and shear sensitive media |
| Water and waste treatment: | Sludge pumping |
| Fishing industry: | Bulk fish transfer and effluent handling |
| Paint and pigment: | Dispersion mill feed and latex transfer |
| Pulp and paper: | Dyes, sizing agents, and titanium dioxide dosing |
| Mining: | Tailing slurries transfer, sludge transfer |
| Mineral processing: | Carbon and ceramic media transfer |
| Mineral Recovery: | Filter Press Feed, electro winning Feed |
| Ceramics: | Clay slip and glaze pumping |
| Construction: | Cements, coatings, spray concrete and aggregate pumping |
| Food and Beverage: | Yeast cropping, additives and effluent pumping reagents transfer and dosing, sump discharge |
| KEY BENEFITS | |
| Energy efficiency: | Reductions in friction thanks to specially developed roller technology greatly reduces power consumption and mechanical wear. |
| Built for difficult applications: | AFX pumps can handle high abrasive slurries, corrosive material, high solids applications, gaseous liquids and very dense liquids and slurries with remarkable ease |
| Sensitive handling: | AFX pumps are Ideal for shear sensitive products |
| Chemically compatible: | Every AFX pump is supplied with internals to be chemically compatible with your product |
| Fool proof: | AFX series pumps can run dry indefinitely, without damage |
| Fully reversible: | Your AFX pump can easily change direction to flush or reverse transfer when necessary. |
| Minimal maintenance: | The heavy duty, high pressure hose is the only wearing item in your AFX pump. |
| Flexible to your needs: | Pump casings and internal components are available in a choice of materials including stainless steel |
| Suctions power: | The AFX pump is self-priming pump and has a suction lift capability of up to 9 metres |
| Accuracy: | AFX pumps have a fixed flow per revolution resulting in a highly accurate flow rate for dosage sensitive applications |
Pump Selection
Boasting eleven AFX peristaltic pump models with flow rates between 40 l/hr to 150 000 l/hr across the range the AFX PUMP SERIES have become industry favourites across many countries. We attach the same care and dedication not only to pump and hose design but also to the selection and application of our pumps. To ensure optimum performance and product life, as well as to minimise operational cost and maintenance downtime, every AFX pump is carefully selected, configured, and equipped for a specific application’s requirements by an experienced application specialist.
