What are the main advantages of a peristaltic pump?

Peristaltic pumps offer contamination-free pumping as the fluid only contacts the tubing. They are also gentle on shear-sensitive fluids and provide precise, repeatable flow rates.

Can this pump handle corrosive chemicals?

Yes, provided the correct chemically compatible tubing is selected for the specific fluid. Buyers should consult the seller regarding tubing material for their application.

Is this unit suitable for continuous operation?

Peristaltic pumps of this class are generally robust and can be used for continuous operation, though tubing life will vary depending on speed, pressure, and fluid properties.

What maintenance is typically required for a peristaltic pump?

Routine maintenance primarily involves replacing the tubing as it wears. The drive unit itself typically requires minimal maintenance beyond general cleaning.

How do I control the flow rate on this pump?

Flow rate is typically controlled via the membrane keypad and digital display on the unit. Some models also offer remote control options via analogue signals or serial communication.

Typical context for this category of equipment. Always confirm specifics with the seller.

Applications & Use Cases

Precision dosing and dispensing in laboratory settings.
Transfer of shear-sensitive fluids in biotechnology.
Chemical addition and sampling in light industrial processes.
Sterile fluid transfer in pharmaceutical research and development.

Typical Specifications

Typical flow rate range: Typically ranges from microlitres per minute up to several litres per minute, depending on the pumphead and tubing fitted.
Power supply: Commonly operates on standard single-phase mains power, typically 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz.
Control interface: Often features a membrane keypad and digital LCD for speed control, with some models offering analogue inputs/outputs or RS-232 for remote control.
Ingress Protection (IP) rating: Units of this type commonly have an IP31 rating, indicating protection against solid objects over 2.5mm and vertically falling drops of water.
Tubing compatibility: Designed for use with various tubing materials (e.g., Marprene, Bioprene, Silicone) to suit different chemical compatibilities and application requirements.
Footprint: Typically a compact benchtop unit, suitable for laboratory environments where space may be limited.
