Product Description: The peristaltic pump is based on alternating compression and relaxation of the hose or tube drawing the contents into the hose or tube, operating in a similar way to our throat and intestines. A rotating shoe or roller passes along the length of the hose or tube totally compressing it and creating a seal between suction & discharge side of the pump, eliminating product slip. Upon restitution of the hose or tube a strong vacuum is formed drawing product into the pump.
The medium to be pumped does not come into contact with any moving parts and is totally contained within a robust, heavy-duty hose or a precision extruded tube. This pumping action makes the pump suitable for accurate dosing applications and has a pressure rating up to 16 bar (hose) and 2 bar (tube). The high pressure hose has inner layer of 2-6 reinforcement layers and an outer layer, which allow higher working pressures and generate higher suction lifts than non re-enforced tubing.
