The Boyser RBT-60 Series  Peristaltic Pump is the largest of our hose pumps, with the highest performance capabilities in the range. Its rugged design makes this self priming peristaltic pump extremely heavy duty and capable of efficient operation in the harshest of environments where other pumps fail due to issues such as dry running damage, clogged valves and seal failures.

One of the largest benefits of the peristaltic hose pump design is that the hose is the only wearing part, which is easy to clean and replace, making it simple and low cost to maintain relative to other pumping technologies. Thanks to its internal hose being available in a variety of materials, its ability to handle solids, fluids with little moisture and shear sensitive mediums these Boyser pumps are extremely versatile. The wide range of applications that it is suitable for include oily sludge, bilge water, oils, shear sensitive liquids, slurries with solids present, dewatering, drainage of tanks, emergency pump leakages, food stuffs, acids, lime milk and muds.

As a shoe operated peristaltic hose pump rather than a roller operated one, the Boyser RBT is capable of higher pressures than other peristaltic pumps on the market, making them suitable for pumping viscous fluid long distances.

Features of the RBT peristaltic hose pump:

  • Good suction lift and self priming up to 9 metres
  • Can dry run without damage and handle fluids with low moisture content
  • Inner hose available in a variety of materials for compatibility with almost any fluid.
  • Seal-less design makes them less likely to leak – ideal for chemicals and aggressive fluids
  • Can handle solids up to pretty much the size of the peristaltic pump inlet/outlet and high viscosities up to 30000cSt
  • Gentle pumping motion and low rpm means that they can handle shear sensitive fluids without disrupting the fluid’s natural structure
  • Reversible operation allowing tank to tank transfer and the recovering of fluid from the dispensing hose if required at the end of transfer
  • Excellent accuracy +/-1% and motor speed is proportional to flow making it ideal for dosing applications
  • Patented double conical hose clamp to ensure leak free connection
  • Heavy duty internal ball bearing box that means the motor and gear reducer shaft do not have to support of all of the load, adding strength and increasing life span
  • Wrapped inner and outer hose, reinforced with high density pressed Nylon for longer life
  • Simple and lost cost to maintain thanks to the hose being the only wearing part, which is easy to clean and replace, and the absence of valves and seals that can clog and wear.
  • Available with a range of accessories including pulsation dampener, leak detector and inverter
  • Variety of drive options which include fixed or variable speed (with speed control)
  • 230v, three phase 50hz / 60hz motors available
  • ATEX approved, marine certification and food grade certification available

Accessories Available

Inline Pulsation DampenerEnsures a continuous, smooth flow for the accurate use of flow meters and pressure switches. By eliminating vibrations and hammering, operation is relatively quiet and working life is increased.
Hose Leakage SensorShould the only wearing part of the pump (the hose) fail, the sensor can shut off the pump or activate an alarm to allow the situation to be addressed quickly. This makes the pump ideal for remote installations or where hazardous fluids are handled.
Vacuum Assisted PrimingImproves the pump's self-priming capability in installations involving particularly viscous fluids or difficult suction conditions.
Halar (ECTFE) CoatingImproves the corrosion resistance of the pump in chemical or other hazardous applications.
PP/PDV ConnectionsAs standard, connections are Stainless Steel, but for chemical applications they can be supplied in alternative materials.
Integrated Control PanelCan be configured as per the user requirements with features such as on/off, speed control, reversing switch, flow and pressure display, leakage warning.
Trolley or Base PlateFor the flexibility of installation and enhanced mobility where required.
InverterPump speed can be slowed down to the required flow, extending the life span of the motor by not making is unnecessarily work to full capacity, and reducing wasted energy costs.
Feed Screw & HopperFor the pumping of highly viscous fluids that don't flow with ease and are prone to breakages.

The Bosyer RBT peristaltic pump are the ideal solutions for applications where typically, other pumping technologies fail. The following benefits make peristaltic pumps ideal for heavy duty site applications, various chemicals and process liquids and abrasive and viscous slurries.

  1. Abrasion resistant – Can handle highly viscous slurries, dry mediums and fluids containing sharp, large or stringy solids such as metal, stones and rags without damage or clogging.
  2. Low maintenance – The inner hose is the only wetted part to clean and replace. With no valves to clog and no seals to fail, the cost of spares and length of downtime is limited.
  3. Leak free - Being seal-free peristaltic hose pumps are unlikely to leak fluid making them ideal for aggressive chemicals and process liquids. Boyser models also have a patented double conical hose clamp for leak free connection.
  4. Self-priming & dry running – As fluid isn’t required to be constantly present; peristaltic pumps can run dry without costly damage if left operating and can self-prime up to 8m.
  5. Gentle pumping action – Suitable for shear sensitive products that can be damaged or altered by the operation of other pumping technologies such as clay or cement.
  6. Reversible operation - Perfect for tank to tank transfer and the recovery of fluid from the hoses after dispensing to prevent leakages when disconnecting the pump and moving it.

Peristaltic hose pumps are able to handle highly viscous, dry and solid laden mediums with no damage, making them a popular choice for harsh and abrasive applications. In addition, the wide variety of materials that the inner tube is available in, along with the peristaltic hose pump’s seal-less design, means that even the most of aggressive fluids and chemicals can be handled. This makes the RBT peristaltic pump ideal for applications including:

FAQs

Peristaltic pumps are part of the rotary positive displacement pump family. They are made up of just two components; a rotor that has a number of rollers or a "shoe" attached and a flexible internal hose/tube fitted inside a circular pump casing. As the rotor turns, the attached rollers compress the tube where the fluid is contained, and that continuous motion forces the liquid from the pump's inlet to its outlet.

The key difference is the component attached to the pump’s rotor which compresses the hose as the rotor turns. Roller peristaltic pumps generate less friction with up to 30% less power consumption and a lower starting torque for a smoother operation and easily adjustable speed. Shoe peristaltic pumps offer higher pressure capabilities for more heavy duty requirements.

The beauty of the peristaltic pump design it it's single wearing part; the inner hose. Whilst other pumps have seals, impellers, bearings, gaskets and coupling bushes to maintain over time, peristaltic pumps only have to replace the inner hose. This combine with the absence of a mechanical seal means that they can also run dry indefinitely without risk of damage.

Ensuring compatibility with the fluid being pumped is a vital part of peristaltic pump specification to avoid swelling, erosion and even melting of the inner hose. Our Boyser peristaltic pumps are available with Natural Rubber, NBR, EPDM, Norprene, Tygon and Hypalon hoses. Upon disclosure of the fluid you are handling we will establish the best solution.

Peristaltic pumps excel in challenging applications thanks for their ability to handle high pressure, dry running, large or clogging solids, high viscosities, shear sensitive fluids and aggressive chemicals.

Yes. The inner hose, which is the only part that comes into contact with the fluid, is available in food grade materials including NBR.

One of the great features of the peristaltic design is its ability to run dry without damage. This can give peace of mind when being used unmanned or to empty a tank or container.

Yes, peristaltic hose pumps have excellent suction capabilities without need for a manual priming device.

Boyser AMP and FMP (the bigger, higher flow of the two) have rollers attached to the pump’s rotor which compresses the hose as the rotor turns. These generate less friction with up to 30% less power consumption and a lower starting torque for a smoother operation and easily adjustable speed. Boyser RBT has shoes attached, which offer higher pressure capabilities than it’s roller alternatives.

Castle Pumps can supply all Boyser parts parts detailed on the spare parts list including the replacement inner hose worldwide.

To ensure you get the correct part, we need to identify the exact Boyser pump model you have. For the AMP, FMP and RBT series we need to know the model number, which can be found on the pump’s name plate on the pump body, and the material of the hose. If you have a Boyser DS-M we will also need to know the diameter of the inner hose as these differ.

Boyser pump models are available with additional accessories including inverter for variable speed, pulsation dampener to reduce vibrations and provide a smoother flow, trolley or base plate, batch meter for preset transfer, control panel and feed screw or hopper.
