Advantages and Disadvantages of peristaltic pumps

Although peristaltic pumps have not been active in the market for a long time, their development time is very fast. Many industries with liquid transmission needs will want to know the advantages and disadvantages of peristaltic pumps and whether they are suitable for their own industries. Come down and share with everyone.
1. No pollution
Because of the unique operating characteristics of the peristaltic pump, only the pump tube is in contact with the original solution, thus ensuring a safe and pollution-free transfer process.
2. Simple operation
Compared with some other pumps, the operation of the peristaltic pump is very simple, only need to install the pump head and pump tube, and then it can run.
3. Scope of application
Because the material of the pump tube is various, it is applicable to a wide range of industries. The liquid to be transported is either corrosive or viscous, etc., and can be matched with a suitable hose.
4. High stability
Peristaltic pumps are the first choice for industries that require stable transmission of raw materials, such as cosmetics, liquid medicine, etc., all choose peristaltic pumps.
5. Higher precision
Peristaltic pumps have a certain degree of transmission accuracy, which is very suitable for industries that are filled in batches. For example, the nucleic acid reagent industry uses filling peristaltic pumps. Of course, if you have high requirements for precision, it is recommended here. Injection pump.
6. Dry running
The peristaltic pump can run dry to avoid accidents in production.
7. Easy to clean
The stock solution only touches the hose, so when cleaning, you only need to clean or replace the pump tube, and the operation is very simple.
The following are the shortcomings of peristaltic pumps. After all, no matter how good the product is, it must have shortcomings and cannot meet everyone’s needs.
1. There is a pulse
During the transmission process of the peristaltic pump, because the hose is alternately squeezed and released by the rollers, the liquid flows out in strands. Even if the pulsation is reduced by double rollers, it is difficult to completely Avoid, so if you can’t stand the little pulsation of the transferred liquid, the peristaltic pump is really not suitable.
2. Hose wear
During the operation of the peristaltic pump, the hose must be continuously squeezed by the rollers, so the wear of the hose is unavoidable, and the hose needs to be replaced regularly. Of course, compared to other pump maintenance methods, The maintenance method of the peristaltic pump is also relatively simple.
