Series LPP pumps incorporate a unique operating principle that, among other benefits, offers preferred energy efficiency. Thanks to the rolling hose contact, no excess friction and thus, no excess heat, is generated. In fact, less risk of overheating means that the LPP pump can produce the same flow as conventional hose pumps but with a smaller motor. Meanwhile, in LPP pumps, hose compression takes place only once during 360 operating cycle, whereas conventional hose pumps compress the hose two times. This design nearly doubles the lifetime of the LPP hose, says the manufacturer. Also, since LPP pumps cause less friction, they can require as little as one-fifth the lubricant needed by other hose pumps. — Larox Flowsys Oy, Lappeenranta, Finland
