FAQs
Can peristaltic hose pumps run dry?
Yes, peristaltic hose pumps can run dry continuously without any damage, making them ideal for a range of challenging applications, including peristaltic transfer pumps and chemical dosing.
Are peristaltic hose pump reversible?
Yes, these pumps are reversible, allowing you to clear blockages in both the suction and discharge lines efficiently. This feature is particularly useful in peristaltic dosing pumps used for industrial or water treatment applications.
Can I use standard lubricating oil in the pump casing?
No, standard lubricating oil is not recommended as it can significantly reduce the life of the hose. For optimal performance and durability, we recommend using the Flex-Lube lubricant designed specifically for peristaltic hose pumps.
How long does the hose in a peristaltic pump last?
The lifespan of a hose varies per application, averaging approximately 2,000 hours. Factors influencing hose life include:
- Type of product being pumped (e.g., abrasive or corrosive fluids)
- Operating conditions (intermittent or continuous)
- Suction and discharge pressure.
This guide should be considered approximate, as actual hose life depends on specific operational factors.
