Vector Model 4006 Peristaltic Pump

Lubricated Shoe Design — 1″ Hose, up to 8.8 GPM at 218 PSI

The Vector 4006 uses a lubricant-filled shoe to compress the hose. That design supports higher pressure and continuous-duty service compared with the similarly sized dry-case Model 2006. Fluid never contacts seals, valves or packing — the hose is the only wetted wear part.

The performance curve separates continuous (24 hour), intermittent and occasional duty so the pump can be sized for 1,500–2,000 hours of hose life.

Technical Specifications

Fluid Handling Capability

• Viscosity up to 100,000 cps
• Liquid temperatures up to 180°F (82°C)
• Fiber length up to 6″ (150 mm)
• Solids to approximately ⅛″

Hose Materials & Connections

The 4006 uses fiber-braided hoses in natural rubber, oil-rated NBR, EPDM and Hypalon. Typical hose life is 1,500–2,000 hours at 30 RPM. 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 1″ 150 lb ANSI flanges. The flange is 316 stainless steel; the insert is 316 SST, polypropylene or PVDF.

Gear-Motor Options

Six three-phase 230–460 VAC TEFC gear-motor speeds are offered, from 1½ HP to 3 HP. Single-phase power can be accommodated when required. Maximum pressure is speed-dependent:

Catalog maximum discharge pressure is 218 PSI. Fluid viscosity of 0–250 cps is intended for 0–75 PSIG; 250–100,000 cps for 0–217 PSIG. Stay in the continuous-duty portion of the curve when the application runs around the clock.

Design Features

• Lubricant-filled cavity with a shoe compressor
• Self-priming; runs dry without damage
• Complete isolation of the pumped fluid
• No seals, cups or packing to leak or wear
• Reversible flow
• Low maintenance — hose change is the primary service item

Approximate assembled cost is $6,140 including the gear motor. Hose material and connection type can affect the cost. Final pricing is confirmed with the inquiry.
