What are the primary benefits of using a peristaltic pump?

Peristaltic pumps offer contamination-free pumping as the fluid only contacts the tubing, making them ideal for sterile or sensitive fluids. They also provide high accuracy and are easy to maintain by simply replacing the tube.

How do I choose the correct tubing for my application?

Tubing selection depends on the fluid's chemical compatibility, temperature, pressure, and desired flow rate. The manufacturer's guidelines or a specialist should be consulted to ensure the correct material and size are chosen.

Can this pump handle viscous fluids?

Yes, peristaltic pumps are well-suited for handling viscous fluids and slurries due to their positive displacement action and gentle pumping mechanism, which minimises shear.

What maintenance is typically required for a peristaltic pump?

The primary maintenance involves regularly inspecting and replacing the peristaltic tubing, as it is the only component that contacts the fluid and wears over time. The drive unit itself typically requires minimal maintenance.

Is this pump suitable for continuous operation?

Many industrial-grade peristaltic pumps, including the 630S series, are designed for continuous operation, offering robust performance for prolonged periods in demanding applications.

These units are in full working condition and ready for immediate use

A peristaltic pump moves fluid through a flexible tube by sequentially compressing the tube (like a wave) which pushes the fluid forward. Because only the inner surface of the tube contacts the fluid, the pump mechanism is isolated from the fluid — this is useful for:

Handling corrosive, abrasive or sterile fluids

Avoiding contamination (the pump body doesn’t contact the fluid)

Easy maintenance (replace the tubing rather than the pump’s internal components)

Watson‑Marlow is a well-known maker of such pumps in lab, process, pharmaceutical, chemical, water treatment, and industrial settings.

Typical applications / use cases

Because of the flexibility, purity, and control of peristaltic pumps, the 630S is used in:

Chemical dosing / metering (acid, base, reagents)

Pharmaceutical / biotech processes

Water / wastewater treatment

Food & beverage (for sterile or food-contact fluids)

Laboratory and pilot-scale processing

Typical Specifications

Typical flow rate range: For this class of equipment, flow rates commonly range from a few millilitres per minute up to several litres per minute, depending on tubing size and drive speed.
Power supply: Units of this type typically operate on standard single-phase industrial power, often 230V AC, 50/60Hz, for the UK market.
Control interface: Commonly features a digital display and keypad for precise flow rate adjustment and calibration.
Tubing material compatibility: Designed to accommodate various tubing materials (e.g., silicone, Marprene, Bioprene) to suit different fluid chemistries and application requirements.
IP rating: Many industrial peristaltic pumps offer an IP rating suitable for washdown environments, typically IP31 or higher for the drive unit.
Footprint: Typically a compact benchtop or panel-mount unit, designed for integration into existing systems or laboratory setups.
