Many users are not clear about the difference between tube pumps and peristaltic pumps when choosing the type of pump.
Distinguish in a broad sense
In a broad sense, there is actually not much difference between the two. Peristaltic pumps can also be called tube pumps. Because they work on the same principle, both are rollers squeeze the hose to transfer the liquid.
Distinguish from the use of tube pumps and peristaltic pumps
Peristaltic pump is mainly used in the field of precision transmission, such as pharmaceutical, food, laboratory, biological and other fields. It belongs to the equipment that has certain requirements for transmission accuracy. Meanwhile, tube pumps are often used on top of large equipment, such as the industrial field, conveying concrete and other materials.
In general, there is also not much contrast between the two. The application industry is different, no one can say to replace who. We just need to choose the pump that can be used in our industry. With the development of the industry in recent years, peristaltic pumps are also gradually used in coffee machines, dishwashers, ice cream machines and high-end medical instruments, cosmetics dispensing etc.
Cautions
- After the pump hose has been used for about 220 hours, the hose can be turned over (i.e., rotated 90 degrees). Because after a long time on one side of the hose to squeeze, easy to cause a single-sided breakage. Turning it over increases the service life.
- The storage period of the pump hose should not exceed one year (a long period of non-application will cause aging).
- Lubricate the pump rollers every 6 months (special lubricants are required).
- After using the pump for a long time, if there is a strange noise, you can take it down for inspection to see if it is caused by wear or damage to the bearings. If not, please contact the peristaltic pump manufacturer.
