Peristaltic Pumps

Peristaltic pumps (also known as hose pumps or tube pumps) are the ultimate solution for pumping challenging fluids. Whether you are dealing with abrasive slurries, corrosive chemicals, or shear-sensitive food ingredients, our range of Verderflex pumps provides a reliable, seal-less, and leak-free pumping solution.

Why Choose Verderflex Peristaltic Pumps?

Verderflex pumps are renowned for their robust design and ability to handle the toughest applications. The key benefits include:

● Total Contamination Control: The liquid is 100% contained within the hose or tube, ensuring no cross-contamination between the pump and the medium.

● Gentle, Low-Shear Transfer: Ideal for fragile cell cultures or polymers that are sensitive to turbulence.

● Self-Priming & Dry Running: These pumps can run dry without damage and offer powerful suction lift.

● Minimal Maintenance: The hose or tube is the only wear part, making maintenance quick and cost-effective.

● Solid Handling: Capable of pumping fluids with high solid content without clogging.

Benefits of a Peristaltic Pump

  • Gentle, low shear transfer
  • Longest hose life
  • Easy to maintain
  • Low energy consumption

Verderflex Rapide: A simple, industrial tube pump for fast tube changes and reliable flow.

How does a Peristaltic Pump work?

The magic of a peristaltic pump lies in its simplicity. It works on the principle of peristalsis, where rollers or shoes compress a flexible hose to push the liquid forward.

Applications and Industries

Our pumps are versatile enough to solve problems across a wide range of sectors:

Chemical Industry: Pumping corrosive acids and bases with total safety.
Water & Wastewater: Handling lime milk, flocculants, and abrasive sludge.
Food & Beverage: Hygienic transfer of fruit pulps, dairy, and flavoring agents.
Mining: Moving thick slurries with high solid concentrations.

Considerations When Choosing a Pump

To ensure the longest life for your pump and hose, consider the following factors:

● Chemical Compatibility: Choosing the right hose material (e.g., NBR, EPDM, Natural Rubber) is vital.

● Pressure & Flow: Ensure the pump size matches your system's total dynamic head and required flow rate.

● Viscosity: Peristaltic pumps are excellent for thick fluids, but pump speed must be adjusted accordingly.
