Industrial water treatment is a challenge for technology. Especially for pumps that convey aggressive chemicals. Lutz-Jesco will be presenting the PERIDOS FXM peristaltic pump for this task at IFAT 2026, the world's leading trade fair for environmental technologies in Munich, from May 4 to 7, 2026 (Hall 3A, Stand 222).

The peristaltic pumps in the PERIDOS FXM series work with rotating rollers that press on a flexible hose from the outside and thus push the medium forward in the pumping direction with low pulsation. This design, in which the liquid only comes into contact with the hose, makes the pumps robust and resistant. Aggressive chemicals such as hydrochloric acid to lower the pH value, sodium hypochlorite for disinfection and iron(III) chloride for the removal of phosphates and turbidity can therefore be pumped in a fail-safe manner.

Flexible dosing between five bathtubs and one espresso cup per hour

Lutz-Jesco is presenting the new peristaltic pumps in three performance classes to cover a wide range of industrial applications. The Peridos FXM 1 is an entry-level version with a delivery volume of 2.8 l/h, the FXM 2 is the mid-range model with 176 l/h and the FXM 3 is the most powerful version with up to 840 l/h. This is roughly equivalent to the volume of five bathtubs.

The flow rate can be regulated over an exceptionally wide range to enable high-precision dosing of chemicals in water treatment. The turndown ratio between maximum and minimum flow rate is 5000:1. The PERIDOS FXM 2, for example, covers a flow rate range from 176 l/h to 0.035 l/h, about as little as an espresso cup.

Another advantage is the space-saving design of the peristaltic pumps. The drive, gearbox, electronics and pump head are integrated into a compact housing. This eliminates the need for separate, external drives and control units.
