What is a peristaltic pump

In the industry of peristaltic pumps, there are several termsIn the industry of peristaltic pumps, there are several terms used to describe different types of pumps. These include peristaltic pumps, metering pumps, constant flow pumps, hose pumps, and hose peristaltic pumps. In terms of accuracy in fluid transfer, these pumps can be classified as metering pumps and constant flow pumps. From a product construction perspective, they belong to the category of hose pumps. However, from a product principle standpoint, they are all considered peristaltic pumps.

Peristaltic pumps are commonly known in the industry as pumps that have low output pressure and an output flow rate ranging from 0 to 30L/min. On the other hand, hose pumps are characterized by higher discharge pressure, typically between 0.6 to 1Mpa, and flow rates ranging from 1 cubic meter per hour to several dozen cubic meters per hour.

Peristaltic pumps operate by compressing flexible tubes to transfer fluids. This design ensures that the fluid being transported only passes through the tube, eliminating dead spaces and making cleaning easy. It also prevents residue buildup, making it ideal for applications requiring clean transportation. Additionally, since peristaltic pumps dispense a fixed volume of fluid with each rotation, they offer precise control over fluid delivery. The flexible tube's movement resembles the peristalsis of human intestines, which gently pushes the fluid without compressing or damaging it. This is in contrast to centrifugal pumps, which can cause shear forces on solid particles in the fluid due to their high-speed impellers. Peristaltic pumps are particularly suitable for handling materials like orange pulp.
