3.4 Product Range

The VERDERFLEX pumps are sized and named according to the internal bore diameter of the

hose. The range starts with the 5mm & 10mm diameters of the VF10 unit, and incorporates a

total of 10 models, up to the 125mm diameter VF125 (please note that this manual refers to the

VF10 - VF80 range only)

All pumps are capable of operating up to 15 bar / 220 PSI with a pumping capacity of up to 80

m3/hr / 360 GPM (for a single unit). Closed-coupled versions are compactly designed and offer

great size, weight and cost advantages; the long coupled versions are robust and flexible in drive

selection

3.5 Pump Construction

As indicated in Figure 1, the VERDERFLEX pump unit is one of the most simple, yet most robust

designs of its type, with very few actual moving parts:

Figure 1

The pump housing is terminated with DIN PN16 flanged connections (optional ANSI / JIS and

hose-tails (hose barbs) on VF10 and VF15 units). Within the housing is a rotor and two rotor

shoes. This assembly is rotated, causing the shoes to compress the reinforced hose, which

displaces liquid to generate the pumping action.
