One medical application example for the DB10 includes pumping solutions containing various salts and other chemicals used in kidney dialysis clinics.
The DB10 is certified under CE (Conformité Européenne), UKCA (UK Conformity Assessment), and EAC (Eurasian Conformity).
The DB10 pump is engineered for performance, with a close-coupled design, corrosion resistant polypropylene or polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) construction, and powerful neodymium magnets mounted to the motor shaft on every model. Featuring a sealless mag drive and a replaceable shaft and bushing, the pump mounts to NEMA and IEC motor frames without the need for disassembly.
The design eliminates the need for maintenance, flushing, or periodic seal replacement. The risk of leaks, vapour emission, or exposure to corrosive chemicals is virtually eliminated.
The DB10 pump is equipped with 1.5-inch suction and discharge ports, available in NPT or BSP threaded or flanged connections. It offers a maximum working pressure of 80 pounds per square inch (PSI)/5.5 bar, and a high maximum specific gravity of more than 1.8. Connection types, O-ring, and bushing materials can be ordered to meet application-specific requirements.
