Quattroflow’s QF1200CV is a compact quaternary diaphragm pump designed for tabletop and cleanroom applications. The pump chamber, pump drive, motor, and control box are combined in one unit, increasing its compact design and efficiency.

The pumps feature flow ranges from 10-1200 L/hr (2.64-317 gph), with a single-phase 230V motor and multiple-use or single-use options. Single-use models are constructed using machined polypropylene or injection-molded polyethylene. The multiple-use model offers clean-in-place/steaming-in-place, while both the polypropylene single-use and multiple-use models offer autoclavability. Total product containment is achieved with a four-piston design with no mechanical shaft seal or wetted rotating parts.
