Continue reading »Peristaltic pumps work by compressing a flexible tubing or hose with rollers or cams against a rigid housing. As the tubing recovers its original shape, it creates a vacuum which lifts a fluid or gas into the tubing. In this manner the fluid is moved through the pump as a discrete slug between the rollers, known as positive displacement. There […]

In a sense, the tubing is the heart of the pump. Using the wrong tubing for an application and you may have a ruptured line with a mess to clean up; selecting the right tubing for the job, results […]
Continue reading »Choose the Best Peristaltic Pump for the Job! A frequent question regarding peristaltic pumps is how viscosity affects flow rate. The short answer is; as viscosity increases, flow rates decrease. That being said, there are various factors which need to be understood when considering a peristaltic pump for any application that requires pumping viscous fluids.
