How to Choose a Peristaltic Pump?

Peristaltic pumps can work in the occasion of continuous delivery of fluids, and at the same time can find and solve many difficult problems in fluid delivery in time. It can transport sewage, suspended solids, corrosive chemicals, and other fluids with flow rates of up to 40 liters per minute. ATO peristaltic pumps are often used to transport fuel liquid, chemical etching liquid for etching, printing ink, laundry chemical solution, grinding liquid, lubricating liquid, etc.

Peristaltic pumps have a wide range of applications. It is called a laboratory peristaltic pump in the laboratory, an industrial peristaltic pump in the industrial field, a pharmaceutical peristaltic pump in the pharmaceutical industry, etc. Although the names are different, the core technology is to transmit the fluid. 

Peristaltic Pump Buying Guide

How to choose a suitable peristaltic pump? This is an issue that everyone is concerned about. The key to a good peristaltic pump is its pump head, hose and driver. Specific requirements determine the features to consider when purchasing a peristaltic pump.

• Pump head:  The choice of the peristaltic pump head is to choose the appropriate pump head according to the pump tube with different wall thicknesses, and also according to the chemical properties of different fluids, to decide whether to choose the material resistant to fluid corrosion.
• Hose:  Different materials of peristaltic pump hose have different chemical resistance. Such as the transmission of corrosive acids, alkalis, chemical solvents and other liquids, you can choose the corresponding hose to match it.
• Drive:  According to the flow rate of the liquid and the selected pump head, the speed of the driver needs to be determined. After the speed is determined, the appropriate driver model is selected according to the functional needs.

In addition to the above three, when you choose a peristaltic pump, you should understand the requirements of the pump's flow, pressure, temperature and other parameters, and at the same time consider the speed, noise, and vibration of the peristaltic pump, and whether the installation is convenient. The installation of peristaltic pumps is relatively user-friendly, relatively simple and easy to install.
