Detailed Explanation of the Pipeline Configuration and Precautions for Peristaltic Pumps

The peristaltic pump is capable of easily transporting solid, liquidThe peristaltic pump is capable of easily transporting solid, liquid, or gas-liquid mixture fluids, allowing the solid content in the fluid to reach up to 40% of the inner diameter of the tubular element. It can handle various materials with grinding, corrosive, and oxygen-sensitive properties as well as various food products. This is mainly due to the superior pipeline configuration of the peristaltic pump. Today, we will introduce the pipeline configuration and precautions for peristaltic pumps:

1. The suction pipeline of the peristaltic pump should be 1-3 grades larger than the diameter of the pump inlet or equal to it.

2. In order to facilitate maintenance and start-up, a shutoff valve should be installed on the suction pipeline and placed as close to the pump inlet as possible. The diameter of the valve should be the same as the pipe diameter.

3. To protect the pump from damage, a filter should be installed downstream of the shutoff valve near the pump suction pipeline. A T-shaped filter is commonly used.

4. A shutoff valve should be installed on the discharge pipeline, with a valve diameter equal to the pipe diameter.

5. A safety valve should be installed between the pump outlet and the first valve.

6. A pressure gauge should be installed at the pump outlet, located on the straight section of pipe between the pump and the first valve.

7. A drain valve should be installed on the peristaltic pump outlet pipeline between the first valve and the pump.

Attention : Peristaltic pumps are strictly prohibited from extracting media with particles and easy-to-crystallize substances. Continuous operation without opening the discharge port is not allowed, and a minimum flow rate must be maintained. Ensure that the installation height of the pump meets the cavitation allowance of the pump, considering pipeline losses and medium temperature.
