peristaltikapumpasid

Peristaltikapumpasid refers to a type of positive displacement pump that moves fluid through a flexible tube by using a series of rollers or shoes that compress the tube in a wave-like motion. This action propels the fluid forward along the tube. The "peristaltika" aspect highlights the biological inspiration for this pumping mechanism, mimicking the muscular contractions that move food through the digestive tract.

The key components of a peristaltic pump include a housing, a rotor with multiple rollers or shoes attached to its circumference, and a flexible tube that is placed within the housing and compressed by the rollers as the rotor turns. As each roller passes over the tube, it creates a seal and pushes the fluid ahead of it. When the roller moves away, the tube expands, creating a vacuum that draws more fluid into the space behind the roller. This continuous process results in a steady flow of fluid.

Peristaltic pumps are known for several advantages. They are excellent for handling sensitive fluids, such as those containing abrasive particles, shear-sensitive liquids, or sterile solutions, because the fluid only comes into contact with the inside of the tubing. This also makes them easy to clean and sterilize, as only the tubing needs to be replaced. They can handle a wide range of viscosities and are also self-priming and can run dry without damage. Applications are diverse, found in medical equipment, laboratories, food and beverage processing, and chemical dosing.
