The peristaltic pump is based on alternating compression and relaxation of the hose or tube drawing the contents into the hose or tube, working in the same way to our throat and intestines.
A rotating shoe or roller goes along the length of the hose or tube completely compressing it and making a seal between suction & discharge side of the pump, eliminating product slip.
Upon restitution of the hose or tube a powerful vacuum is formed drawing product into the pump.
The medium to be pumped does not come into contact with any operating parts and is completely 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.
