Types, Working Principles, and Application Methods of Peristaltic Pumps

1. Working Principle of Peristaltic Pump

Peristaltic pumps move products through flexible tubes by compressing and decompressing them. The "shoes" of the pump are fixed on the rotor of the pump, which pressurizes the fluid into the pump. This working principle is similar to how our body pumps blood, nutrients, and oxygen.

2. How to Use a Peristaltic Pump

Peristaltic pumps are widely used in various industries. They are often found extracting high-solid content slurries from mining, advertising, biogas, and sewage facilities. Tube pumps are more commonly used for chemicals or laboratory environments.

3. Types of Peristaltic Pumps

There are two common types of peristaltic pumps: hose pumps and tube pumps. Tube pumps are highly suitable for low flow rates, fully programmable, and offer multiple heads as options. On the other hand, hose pumps are ideal for pumping high-solid content materials.
