Product Description

The Peristaltic Hose Pump is a positive displacement pump that uses rotating rollers to compress a flexible hose, moving fluid with zero contact between the fluid and pump mechanical components. Its hose-only wetted path makes it ideal for shear-sensitive, abrasive, corrosive, or high-purity fluids. The pump handles flow rates from 0.1 to 40 m³/h at pressures to 16 bar and temperatures to 80°C, with various hose elastomers for different chemistries. Suitable for chemical dosing, sludge, food products, and abrasive slurries where contamination-free transfer is critical.

  • Flow rate test at various speeds
  • Pressure test at rated pressure
  • Hose material quality inspection
  • Roller alignment and pressure adjustment check
  • Self-priming performance verification

Applications

The Peristaltic Hose Pump is ideal for shear-sensitive, abrasive, or sterile fluids:

  • Food & beverage (dairy, beer, wine, sauces)
  • Pharmaceutical and biotech (sterile fluids)
  • Chemical dosing and transfer
  • Mineral processing and slurry transfer
  • Ceramic and glaze transfer

Quality Assurance

Every hose pump is tested for performance and reliability:

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a peristaltic pump used for?

Peristaltic pumps are used for sterile/clean fluids (pharmaceutical, food), abrasive slurries, shear-sensitive fluids, and metering/dosing applications. The fluid only contacts the hose, making it very hygienic.

How does a peristaltic pump work?

Rotating rollers squeeze a flexible hose, pushing fluid forward. As the roller passes, the hose rebounds, creating suction that draws more fluid in. It works like the digestive system—hence "peristaltic."

What is the main wearing part?

The hose is the main wearing part. It needs periodic replacement, typically after hundreds to thousands of operating hours, depending on the fluid and pressure.

Can peristaltic pumps handle abrasive slurries?

Yes, peristaltic pumps are excellent for abrasive slurries. The hose is the only wetted part, and it is designed to withstand abrasion. This is much better than centrifugal pumps for slurry service.

Selection Guide

✅ When to Choose This Pump

  • High viscosity fluids (above 500 cP)
  • Hygienic food and beverage products
  • Precision metering and dosing
  • Shear-sensitive products

⚠️ When NOT to Choose

  • Large volume low-viscosity transfer
  • Abrasive slurries with large particles
  • High-pressure water injection
  • Applications requiring variable flow at constant speed

💡 Common Selection Mistakes

  • Not installing pressure relief valve
  • Running at too high speed for viscosity
  • Ignoring shear sensitivity of product
  • Not considering pulsation dampening
