Peristaltic hose pumps are one of the types of pumps that are used functionally in the industrial field, helping the flow of fluids in pipelines. The pumps in question compress and release the hose in order to do this, that is, to push the fluid. In this way, the liquid moves towards the pump in a form of movement called peristalsis.

This is exactly where the name of this type of pump comes from. In fact, it is possible to witness the word peristaltic at many points in daily life. Basically, this term can also be used for the movement of muscles to relax and contract with a certain rhythm. It has a parallelism in the sense that it is used in the industrial field. In other words, Peristaltic is the name given to this form of movement we are talking about.

Advantages and Usage Areas

In peristaltic hose pumps, the contraction and relaxation movement is applied flawlessly. The flexible hose should be compressed with the help of a compression device or rotor. If the compressed hose is released after a while, the liquid inside moves in the same way.

While the liquid is being pumped, it can easily come into contact with the inside of the hose. This special form of movement creates numerous advantages in the transfer of liquids. In particular, possible backflow of liquid is prevented. On the other hand, the risk of contamination is significantly reduced. Since there is no direct contact, there is no wear in the pump's own mechanism under any circumstances.

These pumps can also be preferred in sensitive dosing operations or important applications such as double-sided flow controls. When we look at the usage areas of peristaltic hose pumps, we come across important areas such as medicine/pharmaceutical, food and beverage industry, water and wastewater treatment, biotechnology or industrial automation.

Peristaltic Hose Pump Types

Peristaltic hose pumps are divided into different types depending on their application and intended use. Some of the most used peristaltic hose pumps are as follows:

● Fixed Speed Peristaltic Hose Pumps: Mostly preferred for applications requiring continuous flow.

● Variable Speed Peristaltic Hose Pumps: Users can flexibly control the fluid flow rate in this type of pump.

● Multi-Channel Peristaltic Hose Pumps: These pumps have more than one hose duct, so they can transfer a large number of liquids simultaneously.

● Conductivity Controlled Peristaltic Hose Pumps: In conductivity controlled pumps, the conductivity level of the fluid is measured by sensors. The flow rate is automatically adjusted depending on the level of conductivity.

● Centrifugal Peristaltic Hose Pumps: Liquids are pushed much more strongly in this type of pump. In addition, these pumps can operate at higher pressures.
