Peristaltic Pumps
PERISTALTIC PUMPS
MOVE COMPLEX FLUIDS WITH ZERO RISK OF CROSS-CONTAMINATION
At Hunter Pumps, our peristaltic pumps stand out for their exceptional ability to transport a variety of fluids without any risk of cross-contamination. These pumps feature an isolated tubing mechanism, ensuring that the fluid never comes into contact with the pump’s internal components. This design is ideal for applications requiring the utmost purity and hygiene, offering flow rates ranging from 0.3 to 22 gallons per day.
Our peristaltic pumps employ a unique mechanism where a motor-driven wheel exerts controlled pressure on the tubing, ensuring precise fluid displacement. The adjustable nature of our pumps, coupled with a clutching mechanism, allows for highly accurate dosing tailored to the specific needs of your application.
EXPERTS IN PERISTALTIC PUMPS
What is a Peristaltic Pump?
A peristaltic pump is a type of positive displacement pump, functioning similarly to natural peristaltic movements found in biological systems. The pump’s design features a flexible, airtight hose or tube, ensuring leak-proof operation and the ability to handle a variety of fluids safely and efficiently.
How Do Peristaltic Pumps Work?
High Precision Dosing
Peristaltic pumps are equipped with either shoes or rollers, optimised for different pressure requirements, ensuring precise fluid control.
Advanced Process Reliability
The rotation of elements within a peristaltic pump ensures a consistent and controlled fluid flow, ideal for applications requiring accuracy and reliability.
Advanced Process Reliability
The internal hose is engineered to return to its original shape after being squeezed, ensuring a consistent fluid flow.
High Precision Dosing
The rotation also creates a vacuum, drawing more fluid into the pump. The more elements a pump has, the more constant its flow.
