Peristaltic Pumps

Peristaltic Pumps, also known as Hose Pumps, are a type of Positive Displacement Pump that uses a hose to transfer the fluid, meaning no other part of the pump is in contact with the media. They are highly versatile with both high and low-pressure options and the ability to self-prime up to 9m.

Peristaltic Pumps are highly versatile and can be easily modified to suit your requirements. Some of the key features of Peristaltic Pumps are:

• To reduce risk of contamination, the hose is the only part of the pump in contact with the fluid being pumped
• Our hoses are made from durable materials lasting 30% longer than others on the market
• Reversible flow
• Low and high-pressure options up to 15 Bar
• Capable of handling aggressive and abrasive fluids, as well as those containing gases and solids
• Sealless design
• Self-priming options available
• ATEX available for explosive fluids or environments
• Easy installation and maintenance
• CIP & SIP executions available

Peristaltic Pumps can be used for a wide range of applications, specifically those containing solids as the hose maintains shape, protecting the media within the pump.

• Wastewater Treatment
• Anaerobic Digestion
• Mineral Processing
• Agricultural
• Surface Conditioning
• Chemical Manufacturing
• Food & Beverage
• Pharmaceutical
• Cosmetics
• Heavy-Duty Industrial Applications
• Paint & Print
• Pulp & Paper
• Ceramics

Yes, Peristaltic Pumps have superior self-priming capabilities. Self-priming means they can eliminate air from the pump and suction line, creating a vacuum that draws in fluid.

Yes, Peristaltic Pumps are safe to run dry which means they can operate without the presence of additional liquid through the pump.

To choose the appropriate Peristaltic Pump for your application, ask yourself the following questions:

• What media will be pumped? Consider the chemical composition of the media you will be pumping – is it chemically neutral or corrosive, shear sensitive etc.
• What is the viscosity of the media you intend to pump? Consider viscosity limitations, shear sensitivity etc.
• Do you need to pump fluids containing solids?
• Is your environment or fluid explosive?
• Do you require self-priming?
• Do you require CIP/SIP?
• What type of hose do you require?
• Will your pump be stationary, or do you need it to be portable? If you require portability, Peristaltic Pumps can be fitted to trolleys of any size to suit your needs.
• Will you require additional accessories for your pump? Pulsation dampeners to reduce pulsation and vibration within your piping system, and assemblies and fittings for your hoses are available for Peristaltic Pumps.
