Application
Peristaltic pumps
Peristaltic pumps (also known as roller pumps) are a type of positive displacement pump that is used in a variety of different industries. They are mainly used for high purification applications because the material being pumped is confined to a tube keeping the media pristine. For that reason, they are most commonly used in metering, dispensing, and precise gene transfer applications.
Other industries such as semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and transferring or dosing chemicals and additives in food applications, use peristaltic pumps because of the rare combination of purity and precision they offer and the ability to handle viscous, acid, alkali, and sterile fluids.
When using a peristaltic pump, the pump is never in contact with the material/media and the material/media is never in contact with the pump. Also, the material/media is never contaminated from the pump, and the pump is never contaminated from the material/media.
