Syringe Pumps are being extensively utilized to deliver accurate
quantities of fluid at particular time intervals. They are available in two
types and they include infusion pumps and withdrawal pumps. If the requirement
is to administer small amounts of fluids at a higher but controlled pressure, infusion
pumps are used. When it comes to removing fluid samples automatically, withdrawal
pumps can be used. These types of pumps are typically used in pharmaceutical or
medical applications. Important specification for both these categories are
weight, physical dimensions, reproducibility, accuracy, maximum and minimum
step rate, number of pumps per assembly, syringe size and discharge flow as
well. Extra considerations include certifications, media, features,
applications and power sources.
Learn about different types of pumps
You can find different types of power sources for syringe
pump in India. Hands or footwear can be used to drive the manual pumps. A compressed
air source is used to power pneumatic pumps. There are solar powered products
and pump only mechanisms as well. When it comes to electric power syringe pumps,
alternating current or direct current are being used and the DC pumps operate with
32, 24, 12 or 6 VDC. Based on the application needs, AC pumps utilize three
phase or single phase power. Generally speaking, single phase syringe pumps
operate with 230, 200, 115 or 100 VAC. As far as three-phase syringe pumps are
concerned, they operate 480 to 890 VAC or with 230 to 460 VAC.
Learn about applications and features
The applications and features of syringe pumps vary. A specific
industry can never be associated with general purpose products. On the other
hand; specialized pumps are being used for semiconductor manufacturing,
pharmaceutical, medical, maritime, food and beverage processing, dairy
cryogenic and agricultural applications. When it comes to features, some
syringe pumps are run-dry capable, portable, hygienic, corrosion resistant and explosion
proof. Others include filter, strainer, pressure gauge, power cord, battery
backup and control panel. In order to perform in wet atmosphere like food
processing plants and dairies, wash down duty pumps have been designed. Sanitary
pumps comply with all the guidelines instituted by regulatory agencies like FDA
(Food and Drug Administration).
