About Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS) delivers critical fluid management in process industries to bring quality, sustainability and safety benefits. Our peristaltic pumps, tubing and hoses are designed to excel in a wide range of challenging applications from versatile and accurate chemical dosing, to handling abrasive sludge and slurries in the mining industry.

Our sustainable solutions deliver secure and accurate metering, dosing, transfer and filling in a wide range of applications in sectors including (process industries) food and beverage, and sanitary; water and wastewater; mining; industrial; pulp and paper; power generation; EV battery manufacturing; (life sciences) pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical, and medical and diagnostic devices.

Our brands include Watson-Marlow Pumps (including our range of Qdos® chemical metering pumps), Watson-Marlow Tubing, Bredel hose pumps, Flexicon Liquid Filling, MasoSine Process Pumps (including the range of Certa Sine® pumps), BioPure, WMArchitect™, ASEPCO and Aflex Hose.

Watson-Marlow cased pumps deliver unrivalled accuracy with a simple-to-use HMI which requires minimal key presses during operation. Fluid is fully contained within the tube, providing complete isolation of the pump. Watson-Marlow 530 and 630 pumps, with their robust and simple construction, can be easily operated by different personnel to deliver unrivalled accuracy.

Qdos® chemical metering pumps offer repeatable, quick, simple and safer maintenance, which is ideal for contained dosing of reagents at remote mine sites. The unique Qdos ReNu® pumphead optimises performance through minimal maintenance downtime. Tool-free replacement and fully contained fluid keep your production area clean and contamination-free, which is safer for operators. Qdos H-FLO, the latest addition to the range, is designed specifically for higher flow rates up to 600 L/hr.

Bredel hose pumps handle abrasive sludge, paste, and slurries at 100% volumetric accuracy. The heavy-duty peristaltic hose pumps are virtually maintenance-free as there are no impellers, liners or mechanical seals to replace, no check valves to clog, and no rotors or stators to wear out. Bredel hose pumps can handle undiluted tailings and thickener underflow slurries with a solids mass concentration of up to 80%, including variable particle sizes and oversize particles (for example: mixtures of fine and coarse tailings). Bredel hose pumps can outperform centrifugal pumps in continuous flow rates up to 72 m³/h and intermittent flow rates up to 108 m³/h when pumping concentrate, gangue or tailings, as well as chemical reagents and coagulants. Their ability to handle abrasive, high-viscosity fluids minimises process water usage, maximises uptime and reduces maintenance. Flow rates up to 108 cubic metres/hr at 16 bar can be achieved with Bredel which can transfer slurry with a solids mass concentration of up to 80%.

WMFTS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Spirax Group, with operating units worldwide.
