After closing the saddle the pump head is ready for operation: the self-adjusting tube clamps mean no further action is needed to fix the tube.
The shape of the tube clamps prevents the tube from kinking in the pump head, thus extending the hose life. Unlike other complex front-loading systems, the Verderflex SMART series has a unique top-loading design making tube changing a quick and easy operation.
This also means that it is possible to attach further pump heads to be operated separately. Most current pumps only have a mechanical lock on the pump cover, however the SMART series has been fitted with an automatic shutdown to prevent any accidents.
