WT600-2J High-Flow Peristaltic Pump

DESCRIPTION

The WT600-2J is a higher-capacity peristaltic pump drive for laboratory circulation and larger-volume liquid-transfer operations. It uses a brushless DC motor and operates from 60 to 600 rpm. With a suitable KZ25 head and tubing arrangement, its maximum manufacturer reference single-channel flow is 6,000 mL/min; other compatible heads have different operating ranges. The WT600-2J also supports local adjustment and external communication interfaces for integration into larger fluid-handling setups.

Product Overview

This model is intended for processes requiring more throughput than small precision pumps ordinarily provide. Its drive can operate compatible single- or stacked-head arrangements, depending on the head family and mounting capacity. It is useful to laboratories and development teams that must transfer relatively large fluid volumes or circulate liquids through systems with substantial throughput requirements.

Although suitable heads can provide lower flow rates, the manufacturer's specified 60 rpm minimum drive speed is important. The WT600-2J is not an automatic replacement for a fine low-speed laboratory pump, particularly where a small MEA cell requires carefully controlled low liquid flow.

How It Works

The pump rotates rollers to compress a flexible tubing path and move liquid. Head selection and tube cross-section determine displacement per revolution, while the speed setting determines how frequently that displacement occurs. High-flow operation requires appropriate tubing, system connections and hydraulic conditions. Actual delivered flow can differ from nominal specifications because of tube elasticity, liquid properties and pressure drop.

Package / Configuration

Select the WT600-2J drive with an approved head or approved multi-head arrangement and suitable tubing. The manufacturer lists YZ1515x, YZII15, YZ2515x, YZII25, DG15-24 and KZ25 combinations, among others. A maximum reference flow of 6 L/min is associated with a suitable KZ25 head/tubing configuration; do not apply that figure to other heads. Confirm the exact local power configuration, control accessories and included components on the quotation.

Applications

The WT600-2J can be considered for research-scale liquid transfer, substantial reservoir circulation, compatible flow-loop development and pilot laboratory processes. Larger electrochemical circulation loops may benefit from the capacity provided, but the pump should only be selected after checking the operating envelope of the cell, tubing, manifold and liquid circuit. It should not be promoted as a universal pump for small MEA test cells or as a gas-flow controller.

Compatibility and Selection Guidance

The first selection question is the required flow rate at the actual system back-pressure. Then choose a compatible head and tubing arrangement capable of achieving that rate within the 60–600 rpm speed band. Where several heads are driven by the same motor, the channels generally share drive speed and should not be described as independently adjustable. Assess fluid chemistry, tubing life, flow pulsation, electrical supply and any required automation hardware. For very low flow, select a finer speed-controlled model rather than attempting to use a high-capacity pump outside its intended operating region.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum flow rate?

The manufacturer lists up to 6,000 mL/min with a particular compatible KZ25 head and tubing configuration; this value does not apply to every head.

Can this pump be used for low-flow MEA experiments?

Only where the head, tube and drive speed meet the actual required flow. Its 60 rpm minimum means a smaller low-speed pump may be a better choice.

Can one drive operate multiple heads?

Selected head families support stacked configurations within manufacturer limits. All heads on the same drive generally share the drive's rotational speed.

Does the pump display calibrated volumetric flow?

The integrated LED display shows speed. Actual volumetric delivery should be established for the installed tubing and head.

Can the WT600-2J be automated?

External control and RS485 communication are listed. Confirm the appropriate input signals, accessory modules and command compatibility.

Is the pump supplied with tubing and a head?

The ordered configuration determines inclusion. Request a quotation identifying the exact head, tubing and control items.
