Watson-Marlow food-grade Maxthane pump tubing elements

The launch of the Maxthane pump tubing elements and confirmation of FDA and EC1935/2004 certification on Qdos pumps is designed to enhance Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group (WMFTG)’s pump solution offering to food and beverage sector.

Designed to suit tasks that include the accurate and reliable dosing of flavours, colours and additives, the tubing provides food-grade compliance in accordance with FDA regulations 21CFR177.1680, EC1935/2004, EU regulation 10/2011.

Fully compatible with all types of food oils and most CIP (clean-in-place) chemicals, it is manufactured from fully recyclable thermoplastic polyurethane. Of particular note is the tubing’s high peristaltic performance from a thinner wall and recyclable constitution that reduces the product’s environmental impact.

Designed for use with the Watson-Marlow 530 Series cased peristaltic pumps fitted with a 520 RET pump head, the tubing can provide benefits such as high accuracy, as well as rapid, simple maintenance. The Quick-change LoadSure (three sizes) options ensure easy changeover. During maintenance routines, the operator simply replaces the element in the pump head.

The tubing supports flow rates up to 3.5 L/min and pressure up to 7 bar to deliver dosing and metering accuracy for a wide range of applications.

Other features include extended service life, broad chemical compatibility, low spallation, and good abrasion and UV resistance.
