Peristaltic pumps or hose pumps as they are called, are self-priming devices with a hose that pump various types of liquid substances of different temperatures, high viscosity and density, as well as liquid media with fibers, dirt, sand, lumps and other foreign matter.
Such pumps pump viscous, dense liquid substances with various foreign elements, as well as lumps, if it is required to leave the structure unchanged during the pumping process.
Peristaltic pumps have a large number of advantages, so they are widely used:
• In the food industry. They allow pumping ready-made pastes containing solid particles (jam and jams, fruit and vegetable pomace, caramel, dough, condensed mixtures, concentrates, etc.).
• In the chemical industry. Devices pump acid and alkaline solutions, chalky, liquid compositions with suspended elements, solutions of aluminum alum, detergents and cleaners, solvents, lubricants, etc.
• Medical. Provides blood circulation without disturbing its structure and parameters, it is used for operations, in the field of transplantation, pharmacology (for pumping viscous medicinal formulations, waste products from the production of medical preparations, etc.).
• Agricultural. The pump is capable of pumping technological sludge, dairy products, alcohol-containing compounds, pulp, agricultural waste, vegetable pulp, animal blood, etc.
• Construction. The devices pump building mixtures and solutions, such as cement, clay, concrete, paints, varnishes, emulsions, extractive liquids, sludges, etc.
• Nuclear energy. Pumps are capable of pumping radioactive waste.
• Cosmetology production. The devices are used for pumping various cosmetic products such as shampoos, balms, creams, conditioners, etc.
If you are looking for a peristaltic pump, you must keep in mind that the pumped media are in contact only with the inner surface of the walls of the tube, for the manufacture of which a high strength elastomer is used, which completely eliminates the possibility of damage to other mechanisms of the device.
In tube pumps, sealed tubes are made of high-strength polymers that are highly resistant to aggressive chemicals. Since the polymer composition of the tubes of various types of pumps is neutral to all pumped substances, tube assemblies are widely used in the food and pharmacological industries.
