Peristaltic Pumps

Advancing Fluid Transfer Technology with Peristaltic Pumps

In the evolving landscape of industrial fluid handling, peristaltic pumps (also known as hose or tube pumps) stand out as essential tools for precise, contamination-free fluid transfer. These innovative positive displacement pumps utilize advanced mechanical compression of specialized tubing to create consistent fluid movement without direct contact between the pump mechanism and the transferred media.

FAQs about Peristaltic Pumps

What makes peristaltic pumps ideal for sensitive applications?
Unlike traditional pump designs, peristaltic pumps maintain fluid integrity through a sealed tubing system. The fluid contacts only the interior of the tubing, eliminating cross-contamination risks. This design proves particularly valuable in pharmaceutical manufacturing, laboratory research, and food processing applications where product purity is critical.

What maintenance schedule should we follow for optimal performance?
A comprehensive maintenance strategy begins with weekly visual inspections of tubing condition. Monthly calibration checks ensure consistent performance in critical applications, while quarterly preventive maintenance reviews help identify potential issues before they impact operations. System performance validation should be conducted annually, with tubing replacement intervals determined by usage hours and application demands.

Can these pumps handle high-viscosity fluids?
Our Thomas peristaltic pumps are engineered to handle fluids across a wide viscosity range, from water-like solutions to highly viscous materials up to 10,000 cP. The key lies in proper pump sizing and tubing selection, which our technical team can help determine based on your specific application requirements.
