摘要:
The invention provides a peristaltic metering pump for dosing metered quantitites of fluids along a plurality of flow lines. The pump comprises a set of rollers and a plurality of flexible liquid transfer tubes, the tubes being mounted on a tube mounting against which they are simultaneously compressed by the rollers. The rollers are drivingly connected to a motor, the rollers being mounted on a roller support. The motor is operable to drive the rollers so that they roll successively along the tubes and compress the tubes simultaneously against the tube mounting as they roll along the tubes. The roller support is biassed against a stop with the roller support being movable away from the stop against the bias by force exerted on at least one roller by the tubes.

A process and installation are provided for making an extruded sintered ceramic product. The method involves extruding a moist profile and simultaneously drying it with microwave radiation as it is extruded. As the profile is extruded and dried, it is supported at a position where it has been at least partially dried. The installation comprises extrusion means for extruding a moist profile, support means for supporting the extruded profile at an at least partially dried part thereof, and a microwave radiation source for directing microwaves at the profile.
