Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group (WMFTG) has opened a new, larger office, servicing facility and ‘peristaltic test lab” demonstration area in South Africa.

This new, larger premises – totalling more than 23002 metres – will provide additional levels of technical support and service for the Bredel range of high-pressure hose pumps, MasoSine sinusoidal pumps and Watson-Marlow peristaltic pumps and tubing.

Located in Laser Park, West Rand, the office will be staffed by a team of 28 people led by Nico van Schalkwyk, General Manager, who has been with the company since 1989. It incorporates space for ‘clean’ stores for products, as well as dedicated receiving and dispatch areas.

Along with extra space for warehousing and pump servicing, the new facility incorporates a fully equipped training centre and test lab. This area has been designed to deliver operation and maintenance training to WMFTG’s own staff as well as distributors and customers.

Nico van Schalkwyk, General Manager of Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group South Africa comments:

“This is a very exciting time for my team and I. We’re delighted that the investment in additional facilities allows us to offer a much deeper level of support to our many customers. I am particularly proud that we are offering the first peristaltic test lab in South Africa and which will keep us one step ahead of our competitors.”

About us

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group (WMFTG) peristaltic tube and hose pumps meet requirements including: value for money; low cost of ownership; reliability and ease of maintenance to the food and beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, mining and many other industries.

We demonstrate how pumps deliver significant process efficiencies over the lifetime of the equipment. Whether performing flavouring addition in food processing, chemical metering in water treatment or mineral recovery, we have a solution which can cut pump downtime and reduce costs through higher accuracy metering and transfer. WMFTG has dedicated application engineers available to help customers make the right pump and tubing choice from a range providing microlitres per minute to 80 cubic metres per hour flow rates.

The only part of the pump to come into contact with the product is the tube or hose. This means there are no seals or valves that can wear or fail. Replacing the tube or hose can be performed quickly and safely. Peristaltic pump benefits include:

Total fluid containment with no seals No ancillaries Handle viscous and abrasive slurries and sludge Self-priming capability Dry running without damage to the pump In addition to their range of positive displacement pumps, Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group has added PTFE-lined chemical and industrial hoses to their range. Aflex hoses are reinforced to withstand the most severe conditions and use.
