Advantages for peristaltic pumps

The only part of a peristaltic pump that comes in contact with the liquid is the tubing. This maintains
the sterility of fluid and the pump

More than 20 tubing formulations and sizes are available for peristaltic pumps for excellent
compatibility with a variety of liquids

Self priming - peristaltic pumps can draw fluid into the tubing when starting dry, up to 8.8 m suction
lift. Other pumps require user to fill pump and suction line with fluid before use which can be
inconvenient and also create potential for hazardous spills or contamination

Gentle pumping action - low shear - makes a peristaltic pump ideal for handling cells and large
proteins, as the pumping action will not damage the content

Variable speed options available on some peristaltic pumps, making those ideal for dosing applications

The fluid does not contact the peristaltic pump so there are no parts to clean such as valves,
diaphragms, seals etc. All you have to do is clean or replace the tubing. This easy tubing replacement
means reduced maintenance times

A peristaltic pump is non-siphoning which means that they prevent back flow into the system. This
promotes accuracy during dispensing

Advantages and disadvantages of a

peristaltic pump
To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the peristaltic pump,need to start from the
understanding of the origin of the basic principles of peristaltic pumps and peristaltic pumps name.
The origin name of the peristaltic pump:from the literal meaning understood as similar
creatures crawling arthropods undulating regular exercise.peristaltic pump tubing in the work
process is to be pressure roller compacted and displacement,with displacement of the pressure
roller,the tubing is not pinched runner will naturally rebound,this process is a process of
peristalsis,this process will peristaltic pump tube material introduced,so the effect produced is
pumped,the name of a peristaltic pump that is resulting.
Peristaltic pump principleperistaltic pump mechanical principle is very simple.It is through the
pump tube to pump alternately squeeze and release the fluid.Prinching two fingers like a fluid-filled
tube with the same,with the inlet end of the finger movement,a negative pressure pump tube,the
liquid inside the tube along the flow pump,the pump outlet end of the tube will be out of the liquid.

As this principle of peristaltic pump,JIH pump will have constant peristaltic pump following
advance:
1,Clean,pollution-free
Fluid contacts only by peristaltic pump and hose,As the fluid conveyed contact only peristaltic
pump hose,peristaltic pump tubing peristaltic pump is used to achieve GMP,USD Class VI,FDA and
NSF certification standards,does not contain a variety of toxic and haxardous substances,at the
same time,as the hose can easily be replaced and disinfected by a method different from the tubing
may be used ethylene oxide(ETO),radiation,2.5 Mrady sterilization,autoclave autoclavable reusable
etc..
2,High constant,precision,flow can be adjusted
High repetition accuracy,strong and stable performance,easy to adjust the flow.Since each
revolution of the peristaltic pump,the pump volume is constant,so the liquid discharged from the
highest precision can reach five thousandths reproduce,in general,can be plus or minus one
percent,so JIH constand cuurent pump peristaltic pump is also
called.

Peristaltic pumps and high-precision constant current situation can easily achieve free flow
regulation and calibration by changing the pump head.
3,Low shear
Is the ideal tool for transported shear sensitive and erosion and strong fluid.Primarily low-shear
pump for other species,such as a conventional impeller pump and the mechanical pump,such as the
centrifugal pump,the impeller will run when the shear fluid is formed,for certain liquids containing
solids,the shear shear solids will produce lethal damage.
4,Corrosion resistance
Can transport a variety of fluids,such as organic solvents and corrosive liquids.Some corrosive
liquid pump impeller pumps and other mechanical damage and decomposition will produce
invasive,and can replace the peristaltic pump tubing of different materials to achieve the delivery of
different types of liquids,such as high water,sulfuric acid and othe organic solvents.
5,Idling,dry running

 Peristaltic pump can run dry for a long time,water delivery,you can also transport air transport
mix gassed.Most time peristaltic pump can running in less than 600rpm.For air transport does not
produce instant high temperature,will not damage the pump,peristaltic pump can delivery
air,liquid,solid-liquid mixing,solid three-phase gas-liquid mixing.
6,With self-absorption capacity
Can be self-priming,no priming,no emptying.As the principle of peristaltic pumps,impeller pumps
will compress the tube,the liquid at the inlet side of the pump wheel displacement pump tube will
produce a negative pressure to suck the liquid,and therefore can be self-priming peristaltic pump
without irrigation pump and emptying.Its height varies with the pump suction pipe of different
hardness can reach 5 meters,eight meters of water even higher suction capacity.
7,Closing valve function,not siphon,unsealed
Specific good seal,cut-off valve and check valve function.The peristaltic pump rotor in the pump
during operation of the wheel will always be pressed against the pump tube,so that the liquid will
flow toward the direction of the rotor is not moving back to form a unidirectional valve function,when
the pump stops working,the liquid is not thus play back and siphon off valve function.So there is no
need of any mechanical seals for a peristaltic pump.
8,Bidirectional transport function
Just change the direction of the pump can be achieved runner counter and suction
function.Peristaltic pump to generate displacement pump extrusion wheel,so you can easily replace
the wheel rotation direction,so it is easy to realize the pumping direction of change.
9,Simple maintenance
Just replace the peristaltic pump hoses,no valves and seals need replacement.As JIH peristaltic
pump no such valves and seals,its structure is very simple and reliable,so in addition to the need to
replace the pump tube is no other place require special maintenance.
10,Can tolerate higher temperatures
Peristaltic pump tubing maximum working temperature can reach 100 degrees
celsius.Peristaltic pumping tube can be maintained by the resiliency of the pump at 100 degrees
celsius,a peristaltic pump can be so prolonged and continuous delivery of a high temperature liquid.
These some obvious advantages on the peristaltic pump,the principles and characteristics of
the peristaltic pump,the peristaltic pump also has some disadvantages:
1,Peristaltic pump pulse is generated
Peristaltic pumps in the pumping process,due to the need for turning alternately released so that
the instantaneous release of the liquid will produce a suction causing a sudden decrease in the

discharge of liquid,which will result in delivery of a peristaltic pump pulse.Two methods can solve the
peristaltic pump pulse,one double head disocation install the wheel angle,to achieve a natural pulse
offset;second,the use of slow pulse resistor.
2,Peristaltic pump tubing is wearing parts
Peristaltic pump tube in the pump work needs to be turning constantly squeeze the pump tube
so easy in case of continuous loss of elasticity of aging or damage.Usually in the wheel 100 rev/min
speed continuous operation when the ordinary life of silicone tubing which is usually around 200
hours,some imported thermoplastic elastomer tubing its life up to 2000 hours.So if you need a
peristaltic pump tubing long run or rarely need to replace the pump tube to minimize peristaltic pump
speed or choose a longer life peirstaltic pump tubing.
3,Peristaltic pump pressure is actually not the shortcomings
Often listen to some of the peristaltic pump manufacturers,said the low pressure generated by a
peristaltic pump,or a peristaltic pump can not produce high pressure,in fact,this statement is not
entirely normal.Indeed most of these peristaltic pump manufacturers can only work within 3KG work
pressure,but they may not have noticed,higher pressure peristaltic pump is there.The peristaltic
pump is typically a high pressure requires special design and manufacturing,require greater strength
such as head,tubing hardness and also require higher resilience,and by the special design of the
peristaltic pump can be made to reach the pressure 6KG pressure or more.JIH produced large
peristaltic pump pressure hose pump can reach a maximum 160bar.
In all:Peristaltic pump is a special pump products,the main advantage is that quantitative
variables can be accurately conveying and transporting liquids.These advantages and
disadvantages of a peirstaltic pump in a variety of applications and engineering projects as long as
the correct understanding and correct application,it can be widely promoted and used.
