Vector Model 3005 Peristaltic Pump

Lubricant-Filled Roller Design — 1¼″ Hose, up to 9 GPM at 200 PSI

The Vector 3005 combines a roller design with a lubricant-filled casing. That constant hose lubrication supports higher pressure and longer hose life than a dry-case 2000 Series pump of similar hose size. The hose is the only part in contact with the process fluid.

The performance curve separates the continuous-duty zone (24 hour) from the more typical intermittent-duty zone (8 hour). The 3005 is self-priming, can run dry without damage, and is fully reversible.

Technical Specifications

Fluid Handling Capability

• Viscosity up to 100,000 cps
• Liquid temperatures up to 180°F (82°C)
• Fiber length up to 4″ (100 mm)
• Solids to approximately ½″

Hose Materials & Connections

The 3005 uses fiber-braided hoses: EPDM, Hypalon, natural rubber (standard and heavy-duty) and oil-rated nitrile. Standard-duty EPDM, Hypalon and natural rubber are limited to 100 PSIG. Heavy-duty natural rubber and oil-rated nitrile are rated to 200 PSIG. We can review chemical compatibility and provide samples for soak testing when needed. A searchable peristaltic hose chemical compatibility guide is also available.

Connections are 1¼″ male NPT or hose barb in carbon steel, 316 stainless steel and PVC.

Gear-Motor Options

Six three-phase 230–460 VAC TEFC gear-motor speeds are offered, from ¾ HP to 2 HP. Single-phase power can be accommodated when required. Maximum pressure is speed-dependent:

Shaft-drive configuration (no motor) is also available. Fluid viscosity of 0–500 cps is intended for 0–75 PSIG; 500–100,000 cps for 0–200 PSIG. For longest hose life, stay in the continuous-duty portion of the curve where the duty allows.

Design Features

• Lubricant-filled cavity — constant hose lubrication
• Self-priming; runs dry without damage
• Complete isolation of the pumped fluid
• No seals, cups or packing to leak or wear
• Reversible flow
• Heavy-duty roller bearings
• Low maintenance — hose change is the primary service item

Approximate assembled cost is $5,628 including the gear motor. Hose material and connection type can affect the cost. Final pricing is confirmed with the inquiry.
