Hose Pump

Peristaltic Pumps use rotating rollers pressed against special flexible tubing to create a pressurized flow. The tube is compressed at a number of points in contact with the rollers or shoes. The media is moved through the tube with each rotating motion. The individual components of peristaltic pumps include a pump head, drive, and tubing. Peristaltic pumps are also referred to as flexible member pumps, flexible tube pumps, dispensing pumps, or dosing pumps. The advantages of peristaltic pumps are that the components of the pump may be chosen when the integrity of the media is a requirement of the application since the fluid type does not contact any internal parts. Seals and valves are not needed as in other pumps. Many peristaltic pumps come with wash down capabilities andor IP54 or IP55 ratings. Peristaltic pumps are also reversible and can be flushed to clean out the tubing or hose.
