Peristaltic pumps are typically used to pump clean/sterile or aggressive fluids without exposing those fluids to contamination from exposed pump components. Some common applications include pumping IV fluids through an infusion device, aggressive chemicals, high solids slurries and other materials where isolation of the product from the environment, and the environment from the product, are critical. It is also used in heart-lung machines to circulate blood during a bypass surgery as the pump does not cause significant hemolysis.
Peristaltic pumps are also used in a wide variety of industrial applications. Their unique design makes them especially suited to pumping abrasives and viscous fluids.
Here are some typical applications:
Dialysis machines
Open-heart bypass pump machines
Medical infusion pumps
Testing and research
AutoAnalyzer
Analytical chemistry experiments
Carbon monoxide monitors
Media dispensers
Agriculture
'Sapsucker' pumps to extract maple tree sap
Food manufacturing and sales
Liquid food fountains (ex. cheese sauce for nachos)
Beverage dispensing
Food-service Washing Machine fluid pump
Chemical handling
Printing, paint and pigments
Pharmaceutical production
Dosing systems for dishwasher and laundry chemicals
Engineering and manufacturing
Concrete pump
Pulp and paper plants
Minimum quantity lubrication
Water and Waste
Chemical treatment in water purification plant
Sewage sludge
Aquariums, particularly calcium reactors
