Gorman-Rupp 30500-004 115V 15 RPM Neoprene Peristaltic Pump
The Gorman-Rupp 30500-004 peristaltic pump is a compact, reliable positive displacement pump engineered for precise low-flow fluid transfer in industrial, laboratory, and chemical dosing applications. Operating on 115V AC with a 15 RPM motor, this model uses neoprene tubing to handle a variety of compatible fluids while keeping the pumped media isolated within the tubing, reducing contamination and simplifying maintenance.
Designed for durability and efficient operation, the 30500-004 offers self-priming capability up to 20 feet and flow performance up to approximately 45 ml/min based on comparable 15 RPM Gorman-Rupp peristaltic configurations. Its no-seal, no-valve construction minimizes wear points, while the compact footprint makes it suitable for OEM systems, chemical dispensing setups, and specialty fluid handling applications. Made in the USA, this pump is valued for dependable operation and easy tubing serviceability.

FAQ
Q: What makes a peristaltic pump suitable for chemical transfer?
A: Only the tubing contacts the fluid, which helps reduce contamination risk and improves compatibility with many chemicals.
Q: Can the Gorman-Rupp 30500-004 run dry?
A: Peristaltic pumps generally tolerate intermittent dry running better than many pump types, though extended dry operation should be avoided.
Q: Is this pump suitable for metering applications?
A: Yes, its low-speed 15 RPM design makes it suitable for controlled dosing and metering tasks.
Q: Is tubing replacement difficult?
A: No, one benefit of this pump design is relatively easy tubing replacement without extensive disassembly.
Q: Can this pump handle abrasive or viscous fluids?
A: Yes, compatible abrasive or viscous fluids are common applications for peristaltic pumps, provided tubing compatibility is verified.
