Vector Model 4014 Peristaltic Pump

Largest Lubricated Shoe Design — 3″ Hose, up to 135.5 GPM at 218 PSI

The Vector 4014 is the largest lubricant-filled shoe pump we offer. For flows above about 135 GPM at lower pressure, consider the dry-case Vector 2010 roller pump. Assembled 4014 gear-motor packages cover 48.2 GPM to 135.5 GPM. Maximum pressure is 218 PSI and falls with speed and viscosity. 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. Standard gear motors used with a VFD have a 4:1 turndown.

Technical Specifications

Fluid Handling Capability

• Viscosity up to 100,000 cps
• Liquid temperatures up to 180°F (82°C)
• Fiber length up to 39⅝″ (1,000 mm)
• Solids to approximately ½″

Hose Materials & Connections

The 4014 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 3″ 150 lb ANSI flanges. The flange is 316 stainless steel; the insert is 316 SST, polypropylene or PVDF.

Gear-Motor Options

Five three-phase 230–460 VAC TEFC gear-motor speeds are offered, from 15 HP to 25 HP. Maximum pressure is speed-dependent:

Catalog maximum discharge pressure is 218 PSI. Stay in the continuous-duty portion of the curve when the application runs around the clock. The fastest drive is 72 PSI.

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 $32,258 including the gear motor. Some hose materials and connection configurations increase the cost. Final pricing is confirmed with the inquiry.
