Bredel 50

Peristaltic hose pumps are widely used in marine applications due to their ability to handle a variety of challenging fluids. The Watson-Marlow Bredel 50 is a marine-rated pump designed for dosing and transfer operations. This pump is specifically engineered to handle chemicals, sludge, and abrasive liquids, making it ideal for marine environments where such materials are common. The Bredel 50 operates as an electric-driven peristaltic hose pump, ensuring reliable and efficient fluid movement. Key maintenance points include monitoring for hose fatigue and potential rupture, wear on the shoe and hose compression components, and gearbox bearing wear. Additionally, the leak detector system must be regularly checked to ensure it activates correctly after any hose failures. To keep the Bredel 50 running smoothly, regular inspections of the hose, lubricant, and shoe set are necessary. Gearbox seals and leak detector components are also critical spares that should be kept on hand. Adhering to recommended hose replacement intervals based on the severity of service conditions will extend the pump's operational life.
