Get Panel Mounted Peristaltic Pumps

These include Diaphragm Pumps and Peristaltic Pumps which can run dry for any length of time. The design of these pumps means that if dry running does occur it will not affect the quality of the internal parts.

Water pumps, including centrifugal pumps, slurry pumps, clean water pumps, chemical pumps and so on. A peristaltic pump can be regarded as a kind of water pump, it is a device used to transfer precision fluid, and the working principle of the peristaltic pump is also different.

A diaphragm pump is more energy-efficient but requires a skilled installation and maintenance technician – and may not be appropriate to all situations. A peristaltic pump is extremely easy to set up and effective in a wide range of uses, but users must adhere to the pump's maintenance and tube replacement schedule.

Still, peristaltic pumps have drawbacks, mainly involving their hose. By incessant squeezing, the hose is steadily weakened until it deteriorates or also known as fatigue. Not only are the feed rate and pumping capability diminished over time, the pump motor itself is constantly under a load.

A Peristaltic Pump can dry run indefinitely and the rotation of the rollers creates a constant vacuum; together this means that the pump can self-prime immediately from start up without the need to have a flooded suction, like a Centrifugal Pump.

Most large diameter, shoe-design peristaltic pumps are limited to approximately 40 rpm. If an end user needs the pump to run faster than 40 rpm, then the pump can only be run intermittently. For instance, an end user could run the pump at 60 rpm for one hour, but it would need to cool for two hours.

Peristaltic pumps may run continuously, or they may be indexed through partial revolutions to deliver smaller amounts of fluid.
