Accurate, versatile chemical pumps

Cut chemical cost through higher accuracy metering

Simple drop-in installation eliminates ancillary equipment
Reduced maintenance with single, no-tools, component
replacement
Range expanded to include Qdos 60. Flow rates from
0.1 to 1,000 ml/min (0.001 to 15 USGPH) at 7 bar (100psi)
Total cost of ownership is less than a diaphragm pump

Accurate, versatile chemical pumps

Flocculation

Mineral processing

Flocculants can cause clogging in diaphragm

pumps, increasing maintenance and process
down-time.

Reagent dosing

Reagent metering requires high accuracy to

optimise yields.

Environmental conditions such as temperature

affect uid viscosity also affect diaphragm pump
performance.

Qdos peristaltic metering pumps deliver linear and

accurate metering across the flow range, improving
efficiency of flotation cells and leading to increased
mineral yields.

Qdos peristaltic metering pumps deliver accurate

metering even with uctuating viscosity. The
powerful suction capability eliminates the need
for a day tank or specialist piping schemes. There
are no seals or valves in the ow path to clog
or wear, meaning pump performance is never
compromised.

The toxicity of reagents such as sulphuric acid and

cyanides are hazardous and can damage pumps.
ReNu pumphead technology ensures the safe
containment. Rapid no-tools maintenance means an
operator can quickly and safely change the pumphead.

Disinfection
Sodium hypochlorite creates gas locking
and crystallisation in diaphragm pumps.
Flow rates and pressure changes uctuate
impacting metering accuracy. Diaphragm pumps
are often set to over-dose to ensure water
quality is maintained. This increases chemical
usage and secondary treatment to compensate.
Qdos peristaltic metering pumps deliver
predictable, accurate metering at variable
pressure up to 7 bar (100 psi), even with
uctuating process conditions. Gas locking and
crystallisation issues are eliminated.

pH adjustment

Industrial water treatment

Water pH inuences the effectiveness of

disinfection.
Accurate pH control is critical to meet water
standards and ensure process continuity. Metering
alkalis such as Calcium Hydroxide creates issues
with clogging and damage. Metering acids carries
safety implications and can corrode pipework and
equipment.
Qdos peristaltic metering pumps minimise pH
overshoot. Suspended solids are handled with
no risk of clogging. Operator safety is ensured with
the ReNu pumphead, a single safely-contained
component for rapid no-tools maintenance.

Features of the Qdos range
Simplicity in installation, operation and
maintenance were key considerations when
designing the Qdos range of pumps.
An intuitive menu offers advanced control
features including:
Fluid level monitoring
Line priming
Flow calibration

Features overview
The 3.5" TFT colour display provides instant
pump status, and can be configured to display
in 7 different languages.
Qdos pumps can be ordered with the ReNu pumphead
mounted on the left or right of the pump.
The keypad, display and input/output connections
are readily accessible for easy operation and
maintenance. All models are IP66 rated for use
in washdown environments.
