Peristaltic Pumps

Peristaltic pumps are specialized fluid transfer devices that operate using a unique compression mechanism. They work by squeezing a flexible tube with a series of rollers attached to a rotating rotor, creating a vacuum that draws fluid through the tube. As each roller passes along the tube, it compresses it completely, forcing the trapped fluid to move forward. This design offers several advantages: the fluid only contacts the interior of the tube (not the pump mechanism), making peristaltic pumps ideal for sterile applications; they can handle viscous, abrasive, or sensitive fluids; and they provide consistent, precise flow rates. These pumps are widely used in medical equipment (like dialysis machines), laboratory applications, food processing, and chemical handling where contamination prevention is crucial.
