The peristaltic pump is a new type industrial hose pump; the peristaltic pump is mainly used in the mining industry, food industry, wine industry and pharmaceutical industry. The peristaltic pump can pumping the solid, liquid or gas with high viscosity, strong corrosiveness and high sensitivity. So why the peristaltic pump is so widely used and what does a peristaltic pump do?
Peristaltic pump was first applied for patent as mine pump in 1855 and gradually applied in medicine or laboratory. After the development of technology and continuous improvement, peristaltic pump began to be widely used in industrial production. Now the peristaltic pump can be used in the cosmetics industry to pumping the lotion. The peristaltic pump is so nearly with our daily life.
We can first understand the structure of the peristaltic pump：
The peristaltic pump is mainly composed of a driver, a pump head and a hose. Peristaltic pumps mainly use rollers to squeeze the hose to complete the work process. The hose is the only part of the peristaltic pump that contacts the pumped material. In other words, the peristaltic pump can be dry running, self-absorbent, and can handle high-viscosity and high-wear materials. In addition, as an independent unit, the hose is completely leak-free, very hygienic and does not require sealing. In addition, each rotation of the peristaltic pump will pump a fixed material, perhaps this is the reason why the peristaltic pump was first used in the laboratory. The peristaltic pump can carry out quantitative addition of materials is also one of its characteristics.
The peristaltic pump's wide use has a lot to do with its unique design. The motor drives a set of rollers that crush the hose, forcing the material in the hose to move forward. The inside of the hose is a vacuum state, which can avoid the contact between materials and other parts and produce pollution. This design has many advantages, as follows;
1. No pollution
The unique design of peristaltic pump enables the material to be pumped inside the hose all the time. On the one hand, it can avoid the material being pumped to contact with other parts of the pump and produce pollution; on the other hand, it can avoid other parts of peristaltic pump to produce pollution. So the hose is the only part of the peristaltic pump to be replaced, greatly reducing the cost of the machine.
2. Simple operation
Peristaltic pump operation is very simple, take out can be used. When we want to apply peristaltic pump in other industries, just need to replace the pump head. Peristaltic pumps, for example, are used in the food industry. It takes only minutes to replace the corresponding pump head when the jam needs to be pumped.
The unique design of peristaltic pump enables it to meet the needs of various forms of object transport, and has been applied in more and more applications and industries. Now it has gradually developed into a key part in many industrial processes.
