A peristaltic pump or hose pump is a type of positive displacement pump used in
various industrial applications for pumping variety of fluids. The fluid is
contained within a flexible tube (i.e Hose) fitted inside the pump casing having no
contact with any other part of the industrial hose pump. A rotor having rollers
attached to the external circumference compresses the flexible tube in the
peristaltic pump. As the rotor revolves, compression motion forces the fluid to move
through the tube.
Additionally, the tube’s restitution after squeezing produces a vacuum that draws
fluid continuously into the tube. This process is called peristalsis and is used in
many applications such as the highly viscous & abrasive fluids. Suited for heavy
duty applications such as waste-water slurry, mining operations, ceramic industries,
etc.
