Watson Marlow Pumps are trusted worldwide for their exceptional accuracy, hygiene, and reliability in fluid handling. Manufactured by Watson-Marlow, part of the Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS) group, these pumps are designed for demanding applications across biopharma, food and beverage, water treatment, chemical processing, and industrial sectors.
Watson Marlow Pumps are based on peristaltic technology — a gentle, low-shear pumping method ideal for transferring viscous, abrasive, corrosive or shear-sensitive fluids. Unlike traditional pump types, Watson Marlow’s peristaltic designs ensure that the fluid only contacts the inner bore of the hose or tube, making them a top choice for hygienic and high-purity processes.
With over 60 years of engineering innovation, Watson Marlow Pumps are widely regarded for delivering long-term performance with minimal maintenance. Their simple, seal-free construction means they are leak-free and highly resistant to cross-contamination, making them ideal for aseptic environments and aggressive chemicals alike.
The Watson Marlow Pumps product range includes a wide variety of models — from compact laboratory units to large industrial pumps capable of handling high flow rates and pressures. This includes the versatile 500 and 600 series for process applications, the 700 and 800 series for industrial flow control, and the high-performance Qdos and Bredel ranges for metering and heavy-duty transfer.
Watson Marlow Pumps are widely adopted in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries for their ability to deliver precise, repeatable flow with full compliance to cGMP, FDA, and USP Class VI standards. Their clean-in-place (CIP) and sterilise-in-place (SIP) capabilities make them ideal for sensitive production environments where hygiene is critical.
In chemical and industrial applications, Watson Marlow Pumps shine thanks to their chemical resistance, abrasion tolerance, and ability to pump viscous or sludgy fluids with ease. The Bredel heavy-duty hose pump line is particularly valued in mining, wastewater, and construction, where reliability and rugged performance are essential.
Another major advantage of Watson Marlow Pumps is their energy efficiency and low total cost of ownership. Because they contain no valves, seals or glands, maintenance is quick and cost-effective, typically involving only hose or tube replacement at long intervals. This simplicity reduces downtime and maintenance labour, offering a more predictable operating lifecycle.
Digital integration is also a key feature. Many Watson Marlow Pumps are compatible with advanced control systems and include intuitive interfaces, remote control options and diagnostics. This makes them suitable for integration into SCADA, PLC and process automation platforms where real-time monitoring and control are required.
Watson-Marlow manufactures its pumps and tubing in-house, ensuring compatibility and consistent quality. All tubing and hose materials are rigorously tested for chemical compatibility, pressure performance, and compliance, giving users full confidence in system integrity and long-term durability.
