What Is a Peristaltic Pump?
Peristaltic pumps have a wide variety of uses in industrial applications. In their most basic form, peristaltic pumps use positive displacement to pump fluids. Because of their unique design features, peristaltic pumps are well-suited to pumping abrasive and viscous fluids. Peristaltic pump manufacturers produce two types of these pumps – hose pumps and tube pumps. Professionals typically use hose pumps in applications involving higher pressure and they can operate in a state of continuous service. Professionals use tube pumps in low pressure applications and in those capacities that do not require continuous flow.
There are several advantages associated with the use of peristaltic pumps whether they are hose pumps or tube pumps. The only part of a peristaltic pump that comes in contact with the fluid is the interior of the tube through which the fluid is pumped. By cleaning and sterilising the inside surfaces of the tube and the pump, it is easy to prevent contamination. That alone makes these pumps a great choice for working with hazardous chemicals.
Peristaltic pumps do not have any valves or seals which makes them easier to maintain. Pumps that have seals or valves often experience leaks and those parts consequently need to be maintained and repaired on a regular basis. Because peristaltic pumps do not have valves and seals, it makes the maintenance of these pumps far simpler.
Other advantages of peristaltic pumps include their ability to handle a variety of fluids and their reliable design. They can handle slurries and both viscous and aggressive fluids. The design of these pumps also helps to prevent backflow and siphoning without the use of valves. It’s easy to see why professionals trust these pumps for critical maintenance.
