Peristaltic Pumps & Accessories

A peristaltic pump has a series of rollers that rotate around the edge of the pump head. A flexible tubing is threaded around the rollers and pressed up tight next to them, pinching the tubing where it contacts a roller. As the rollers rotate around the head, the fluid in the tubing moves from the input to the output. The rate of head rotation and the size of the tubing determine the volume of fluid that can be pumped. The volume that can be pumped is limited only by the volume of the input source.

Peristaltic pumps play a crucial role in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and chemical processing. They offer significant advantages due to their gentle, low-shear pumping action and their ability to handle a wide range of fluids, including aggressive and viscous liquids. The design of peristaltic pumps minimizes contamination risk, as the fluid only contacts the tubing, making it ideal for sanitary applications.

Their precision and repeatability in metering applications ensure accurate dosing. This is paramount in critical processes like drug formulation or chemical reactions. In environments like laboratories and manufacturing facilities, where precision and repeatability are crucial, peristaltic pumps are key players.
