Benefits of peristaltic pumps

If you are looking for excellent pumping solutions especially when the product being pumped is corrosive, abrasive and viscous, then peristaltic pumps are your go-to solution. Their lack of valves, seals and glands make them inexpensive to maintain. The only part that needs maintenance is the hose or tube. Peristaltic pumps also have a gentle pumping action compared to other pumps available. Thus, it is ideal for shear sensitive polymers and fragile cell structures. Lastly, the only part of the pump in contact with the fluid being pumped is the interior of the tube or hose, making it easy to sterilise and clean the inside surfaces of the pump.

Here are some benefits of using peristaltic pumps:

• Seal-less design:Since they have no seals, leaks of corrosive chemicals are eliminated.
• Low maintenance costs:The only replacement part is the hose or tube which can be done at a relatively low cost periodically.
• Dry running and self-priming:Peristaltic pumps do not require a fluid or liquid to be present at all times. This means, they can run dry without any costly downtime or repair. The recovery of the hose or tube creates a powerful self-priming action and allows the pumps to move liquids containing entrapped air or that can off-gas.
• Gentle pumping:These pumps have a gentle, low shear pumping action that is ideal for shear sensitive products.
• High suction lift: The powerful suction provided by the recovery of a re-enforced hose gives hose pumps suction lift capabilities up to 9.5m of water.
• Abrasion resistant: Hose life is not related to a product’s abrasive qualities. The hose only fails due to fatigue or chemical action.
• Hygienic:The best part about peristaltic pumps is that they are extremely hygienic. They are certified for use in the food, beverages and pharmaceutical industry, plus other sanitary related applications.
