Vector Model 4009 Peristaltic Pump

Lubricated Shoe Design — 40 mm Hose, up to 35.9 GPM at 218 PSI

The Vector 4009 uses a lubricant-filled shoe to compress the hose for continuous-duty service at pressures to 218 PSI. Maximum pressure depends on flow rate and fluid viscosity — higher-viscosity fluids can usually be run closer to the 218 PSI rating. 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. Assembled gear-motor packages are offered from 8.4 GPM to 35.9 GPM. The curve reaches about 42 GPM on occasional duty at 120 RPM.

Technical Specifications

Fluid Handling Capability

• Viscosity up to 100,000 cps
• Liquid temperatures up to 180°F (82°C)
• Fiber length up to 11⅞″ (300 mm)
• Solids to approximately ¼″

Hose Materials & Connections

The 4009 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 1½″ 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 3 HP to 7½ HP. Standard gear motors used with a VFD have a 4:1 turndown. 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 $9,322 depending upon gear-motor size and hose material. Final pricing is confirmed with the inquiry.
