Watson Marlow Flexicon Pump Liquid Filling Peristaltic Pump Head

The Watson Marlow Flexicon PD22P is a high-precision peristaltic pump head designed specifically for accurate, high-speed dispensing and aseptic filling in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. This pump head is engineered for integration into automated filling lines or use with Flexicon stand-alone controllers. It features a sophisticated design that minimizes pulsation and prevents fluid turbulence, making it an ideal choice for the gentle handling of sensitive biological liquids and expensive reagents.

Technical Performance and Design

• High-Precision Filling: Engineered to provide extreme accuracy, typically within plus or minus 0.5 percent, which is critical for maintaining dosage consistency in clinical and production environments.
• Tube-Loading Convenience: Features a user-friendly design that allows for rapid, tool-free tubing changes, minimizing downtime during product changeovers or batch setups.
• Low-Shear Pumping: The peristaltic action ensures that the fluid only comes into contact with the tubing, providing a gentle flow path that protects delicate proteins and living cells from mechanical stress.
• Durable Construction: Built with high-quality stainless steel and specialized polymers to withstand the rigorous cleaning and sterilization protocols required in cleanroom environments.

Product Specifications

• Part Number: 61-251-022
• Pump Type: Peristaltic Dispensing Head
• Tubing Compatibility: Designed for use with platinum-cured silicone or Accusil precision tubing.
• Bore Sizes: Compatible with a range of tubing bores typically from 0.8 mm to 9.6 mm.
• Max Flow Rate: Dependent on the drive unit, but capable of high-volume throughput for production-scale filling.
• Integration: Fully compatible with Flexicon MC12 and MC100 controllers.

Operational Advantages

• Zero Cross-Contamination: Since the fluid is entirely contained within the disposable tubing, there is no risk of cross-batch contamination or the need for complex internal pump cleaning.
• Minimal Maintenance: With no valves, seals, or glands in the fluid path, the PD22P requires significantly less maintenance than piston or gear pumps.
• Scalable Performance: The PD22P design allows for a seamless transition from laboratory-scale development to full-scale commercial production with consistent results.
• Flexible Installation: The compact and robust design allows the pump head to be mounted in various orientations to fit specific automated machinery or conveyor configurations.
