PFU Series pumps are the ideal solution for ultra-high temperature and ultra-pure recirculation or delivery applications where fiber optic sensors are required for optimum systems control. These Teflon® PTFE and PFA pumps are completely metal free and operate with fiber optic sensors and an external solenoid valve. They perform safely and reliably running continuously throughout their two-year warranty. They offer air supply pressures up to 7 Bar (100 psi) and operate in thermal cycling applications with fluid temperatures up to 210°C (410°F).
The pumps are available in three models, PFU030, PFU060 and PFU140, which are capable of maximum flow rates of 30, 60 and 140 lpm, respectively.
