What are peristaltic pumps used for?

There are a variety of uses for a peristaltic pump. The pump's trick is that it keeps chemicals or liquids strictly in the tube.

When to use a peristaltic pump:
· Transporting hemoglobin for dialysis
· Water treatment dosing (depending on the chemical used)
· Chlorine for a private well
· Liquid phosphate for scale control
· A flocculant (depending on the type of water treatment)
· Dosing vitamins into animal feed
· Agriculture
Uses for a peristaltic pump include any application where you want to make sure you have no-cross contamination of your nutrient, chemical, or even blood in the case of dialysis.

What are the benefits of a peristaltic pump?

The greatest benefit is that the liquid or the chemical pumped only interacts inside this tube. The contents don't touch any other component to keep liquids clean and prevent cross-contamination.

What flow rates will you get from a peristaltic pump?

With the adjustability of the clutch mechanism and the size of the tube, you can get anywhere from 0.3 to 22 gallons per day depending upon the application.

Where should you use a peristaltic pump?

In my opinion, a peristaltic pump is the way to go for water treatment. With this pump, you can avoid having additional material or media getting cross-contaminated with your chemical. For these reasons, a peristaltic pump is a great choice in many applications, including livestock feeding, agriculture, water treatment, or even medical use.
