Peristaltic Pump LP500-H

Precision Fluid Handling Peristaltic Pumps

  • Digitally controlled speed accuracy up to 0.2% for precise dosing and filling
  • Longer lifetime stepper motor
  • Easy to read digital display
  • No tube adjustments required, innovative tube holders and occlusion design
  • External control via RS485, 0-5V, or 0-20mA for integration with DeltaV and other controllers
  • Includes pre-installed and tested 5502K-01 High-Flow pump head
  • Tool-free pump head change for easy maintenance or changing to a Low-Flow head
  • Engineered to deliver reliable performance with silicone tubing of 1.6 mm (1/16") wall thickness at designated bore sizes.
  • Max. Flow 1955 mL/min

The Welch LP500 Series peristaltic pumps are purpose-built for laboratory applications, featuring an intuitive keypad interface for easy speed adjustment, reversible flow direction, soft start/stop, and full-speed operation.

Fluid remains fully contained within the tubing, eliminating contamination risk and making the pump ideal for sterile or corrosive fluids. Its robust design handles thick or particulate-laden liquids with ease, while precise control ensures accurate dosing and metering. With few moving parts and no seals, the LP500 delivers exceptional reliability and reduces maintenance costs.
