Detailed Overview of MEC-O-MATIC Pump Models
MEC-O-MATIC 2400T Series
The MEC-O-MATIC 2400T Series is designed for low-flow applications where precision is key. With a flow rate of 2.5 gallons per day (gpd) or 0.39 liters per hour (lph), and a pressure capacity of up to 25 psi (1.72 bar), this series is ideal for applications requiring small, consistent dosing of chemicals.
MEC-O-MATIC Dolphin Series
The MEC-O-MATIC Dolphin Series offers a wider range of flow rates, from 13 to 97 gpd (2.05 to 15.3 lph), making it suitable for medium to high-flow applications. This series is particularly effective in environments where varying flow rates are needed without compromising on pressure, which is also up to 25 psi (1.72 bar).
MEC-O-MATIC VSP Series
For applications that require a balance between flow rate and precision, the MEC-O-MATIC VSP Series provides a flow rate of 12 to 20 gpd (1.89 to 3.15 lph) with the same pressure capacity of 25 psi (1.72 bar). This series is ideal for industries where maintaining consistent dosing with minimal variation is crucial.
Applications Across Industries
