Peristaltic pump, in other words, is also called a hose pump, dosing pump or transfer pump. Peristaltic pumps, a derivative of positive displacement transfer pump, are a part of different processes such as pumping various liquids, chemical transfers, pharmaceutical processing, mining applications, wastewater treatment. Peristaltic pumps are unique in design. In its working principle, a drive system rotates a series of cylinders or a pressing mechanism called shoe, and as a result of this rotation, the flexible hose is compressed and released. In this process, a vacuum mechanism is formed that draws liquid into the hose. The flexible hose is the only part that comes into contact with the fluid during the process. Peristaltic pumps offer great advantages in terms of ease of use. Peristaltic pumps are divided into different brands and types. If we look at Sisdoz's peristaltic pumps;

• Graco Solotech Series Peristaltic Hose Pumps offer minimum wear and maximum performance with the action of a single rotor rotating 360 degrees and pressing on the hose. Compared to traditional hose pump designs, more flow per cycle, longer hose life and operating costs are minimized. Graco Solotech Series Peristaltic hose pumps, offering a maximum flow rate of 59.8 lt / min and a maximum pressure of 9 bar, offer solutions in the application of different hoses, connections and materials with motor alternatives.

• Albin Alh Series High Pressure Peristaltic Hose Pumps produce precise solutions in demanding fluid transfer applications with the widest product range in the market. Albin ALH - ALX series pumps with shoe pressure structure can reach high pressures and minimize the wear with the rotation movement provided in the oil. With different hoses, connection materials and motor alternatives, Albin pumps definitely produce solutions for applications. Albin Alh Series high pressure peristaltic hose pumps operate at a maximum pressure of 15 bar with a maximum capacity of 150m3 / hour.

• Albin Alp Series Peristaltic Hose Pumps provide precise solutions in demanding fluid transfer applications with the widest product range in the market. The Albin Alp series, which has a rotating wheel pressure structure, is used in low pressure operations and it minimizes the wear due to pressure with the special oil used only on the hose. Alp series peristaltic hoses operate at 4 bar pressure with a maximum capacity of 10 m3 / hour.

• Albin Alh Series Hygienic Hose Pumps are pumps with folding pressure mechanism with patented design developed for demanding fluid applications in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and beverage industries. In CIP application, it ensures long life of the hose without being under pressure. Albin CIP series hygienic pumps are produced in 4 different models and developed for businesses to work efficiently and economically.

How Peristaltic Pumps Work

The working principle of peristaltic pumps, also called dosing pumps, is based on moving the fluid by compression. The force applied to the liquid pumped into the pipe or hose compressed with the help of a rotor provides the movement. Peristaltic pumps are used especially for the transfer of corrosive and abrasive liquids. Peristaltic pumps do not have valves or seals. Therefore, maintenance costs are minimized. In addition, peristaltic pumps are easy to sterilize. The main components that make up the peristaltic pumps are the hose and the rotor. The rotor is located in the middle of the pump and makes a circular rotation movement. The cylinder connected to the rotor compresses the sealed and wear-resistant hoses as a result of this movement. Thus, it provides the movement of the fluid to the outlet.
