The Japanese company Iwaki is one of the world's leading manufacturers of chemical pumps and flow control devices. Its strength lies in the production of various models in small batch sizes, which makes it possible to fulfil the requirements of a wide range of industrial sectors. The products also include wobble piston pumps, which are used in many laboratory applications and especially in dialysis machines thanks to their high dosing accuracy for viscous media with low pulsation.
