What are the competitive advantages of using peristaltic pumps for laboratory dispensing?

The peristaltic pump system consists of a driver, pump head, and hose. The main competitive advantages of peristaltic pumps are that the fluid is isolated in the pump tube, the pump tube can be quickly replaced, the fluid can be retrograde, can operate dry, and has low maintenance costs.

The peristaltic pump manufacturer introduces that it can maintain the cleanliness of the pump body and fluid: the fluid only contacts the pump pipe, not the pump body. As the transported fluid only comes into contact with FDA approved hoses, there is no need to worry about various toxic and harmful substances contaminating the fluid. Every revolution of a peristaltic pump results in a stable and constant discharge of liquid, with an accuracy of up to five thousandths. Typically, it can reach plus or minus one percent. Therefore, a peristaltic pump is also known as a constant flow pump.

Due to the fact that peristaltic pumps can replace hoses of different materials, they can transport various corrosive liquids such as strong water, sulfuric acid, and other solvents. It has good self priming ability, can idle, can prevent backflow, and does not require pumping or emptying. There are no valves or seals, and only the hoses need to be replaced. Replacing the hoses is also relatively simple, and it can continuously and for a long time transport high-temperature liquids. The working temperature of the pump pipe can even reach 100 degrees Celsius.

The advantage of peristaltic pumps is that they can be prepared to transport liquids accurately and quantitatively. It has the ability to transport the same flow in both directions, and only needs to change the direction of rotation of the pump wheel. Even if there is no liquid idling, it will not cause damage to any components of the pump. These advantages are sufficient to enable the reasonable application of peristaltic pumps in pharmaceutical and chemical projects, and the application of peristaltic pumps in daily life is also becoming increasingly widespread.

The application fields of peristaltic pumps are very wide, which are called laboratory peristaltic pumps in the laboratory, industrial peristaltic pumps in the industrial field, pharmaceutical peristaltic pumps in the pharmaceutical industry, and so on. Although the names are different, the core technology is to transport fluids.

When selecting a peristaltic pump, it is important to understand the requirements for the pump's flow rate, pressure, temperature and other parameters, as well as the speed, noise, and vibration of the peristaltic pump, as well as its convenience in installation. However, currently, the installation of peristaltic pumps is relatively user-friendly, simple, and easy to use.
