Vector Pumps Handle Aggressive or Corrosive Fluids, High-viscosity Fluids, and High-purity Solutions
Available in 17 models to handle a wide range of processing requirements, Vector peristaltic pumps are ideal for pumping challenging fluids without altering their composition.
They move high-viscosity (up to 100,000 cps) pasty, pulpy, thick, abrasive, and corrosive solutions as well as fluids containing solids up to 3-1/2 inches (90 mm) in size.
Vector pumps isolate the fluid being pumped into a single, durable hose so they can handle tough fluids.

Vector Pump Performance Advantages
Pressure Ratings
- Up to 218 psig discharge pressure
Flow Capacities
- Up to 211 gpm
Contamination-free Pumping
- Fluid is contained in the hose and only contacts the hose
Fluid/Hose Compatibility
- Fiber-braided or extruded hoses can handle abrasive or corrosive fluids as well as food products or pharmaceutical materials
Low-shear/Non-emulsifying
- Transfers food and pharmaceutical solutions without crushing or foaming the fluids
Self-priming
- Requires no priming chamber; suction lifts to 29-1/2 feet depending on model
Dry Running
- Externally lubricated hose enables the pumps to run dry without stalling or damaging the hose or roller assembly; avoids pump failure and reducing pump life
Dependable Seal-less Design
- out, or need replacement
Handles Abrasive Solids
- Can pump abrasive fine particles and solids up to 3-1/2 inches (90 mm)
Easy to Clean
- Reversible rotary movement provides for easy-to-clean system piping; flushing may be eliminated
Easy to Service
- Simple replacement of hoses saves time; clear plastic cover allows the pump to be checked easily during operation for any problems
Vacuum Capability
- A Vector pump can be used as a vacuum pump and for cleaning up spills; evacuates gases as well as fluids
Dosing Capability
- A Vector pump is also a positive displacement pump for metering; output flow is directly proportional to pump speed
Vector pumps are ideal for several applications in production of industrial and commercial paints, coatings, inks, and dyes.
