How to Choose a High Flow Rate Peristaltic Pump
Understanding Peristaltic Pumps
A high flow rate peristaltic pump typically consists of three main components: a pump head, a tubing, and a controller. The pump head creates a vacuum to draw fluid into the tubing. The tubing, often made of medical-grade silicone, transports the fluid. The controller regulates the pump's speed, operating time, and other parameters.
Factors to Consider When Selecting a High Flow Rate Peristaltic Pump
1. Pump Head Design and Material:
- The pump head should be made of corrosion-resistant and easy-to-clean materials such as stainless steel or high-performance polymers.
- The inlet and outlet ports should have a sufficiently large cross-sectional area to ensure high flow rates and pressure.
2. Tubing Material and Inner Diameter:
- The tubing should be made of medical-grade silicone and have a large enough inner diameter to accommodate high flow rates.
- The tubing length should be appropriate; too long can increase resistance, while too short can reduce the pump's lifespan.
3. Product Advantages:
- High flow rate peristaltic pumps offer high precision, stability, and ease of operation and maintenance.
- Due to the absence of internal mechanical components, they are highly reliable and can handle a wide range of viscous and corrosive fluids.
