What is peristaltic pump ?

Peristaltic pumps are also called rotor pumps. The principle is to squeeze the hose through the rotation of the roller to make the liquid flow. The process is like swallowing an egg, squeezing and releasing a hose to transport liquid through the pulse of multiple rollers. The liquid only contacts the hose. The hose can be autoclaved to avoid contamination during the liquid transfer process. Generally, the peristaltic pump needs to work with different motors or drivers. Different pump heads of different peristaltic pumps match different motors and drivers, so as to meet the needs of customers with different flow ranges and different functions.

How does the peristaltic pump work ?

Peristaltic pumps are like squeezing a fluid-filled hose with your fingers, and the fluid moves forward as the fingers slide along the tube. The principle of peristaltic pump is just that the finger is replaced by the roller. Pump fluid by alternately squeezing and releasing the pump's flexible delivery hose. Just like pinching a hose with two fingers, as the fingers move, a negative pressure builds up inside the tube and the liquid flows with it .
The peristaltic pump consists of three parts: driver, pump head and hose. Chuangrui peristaltic pump combined with Chuangrui peristaltic pump drive can match hundreds of different peristaltic pumps.

Why use the peristaltic pump ?

Pump design prevents backflow and syphoning without valves.
A fixed amount of fluid is pumped per rotation, so it can be used to roughly measure the amount of pumped fluid.

How to choose an suitable peristaltic pump  ?

Three major factors affecting choice of a peristaltic pump
1, Tube inner diameter(ID)
For a given rpm of the pump, a tube with larger ID will give higher flow rate than one with a smaller ID
2, Flow rate
Flow rate is an important parameter for a pump. The flow rate is determined by many factors, such as:
Tube ID - higher flow rate with larger ID
Pump head RPM - higher flow rate with higher RPM
Inlet Pulsation - the pulse reduces the filling volume of the hose
3, Pulsation
Pulsation is an important side effect of the peristaltic pump. The pulsation is determined by many factors, such as:There are some factors
Flow Rate - higher flow rate is more pulsation
Line Length - Long pipe lines is more pulsation
Higher Pump Speed - higher RPM is more pulsation
Higher fluid density is more Pulsation

Does the peristaltic pump can be controlled by PLC ?

Yes.  Chuangrui Peristaltic pump are support Modbus communication protocol .We support the external control interface and cable depend on your requirement .
About the exteranal cotrol ：
For our basic type pump with stepper motor or servo motor are with the external control options :
1, For small batch filling ---- foot switch is enough
2, For bulk batch filling which need to work with the production : our pump support :
1, RS485/RS232 communication protocol
2, analog control (0-5v  0-10v 4-20mA optional )
3,start/stop control
4,Direction control .
For example : for the coating machine supporting pump always use the 4-20mA external control

What does a peristaltic pump do?

Chuangrui Peristaltic pump is a type of tubing pump used for pumping a variety of liquids , they are also commonly known as roller pumps /tubing pump or liquid handling pump . It works with flexible  hose (pipe/tube) . Put the standard tube inside the pump casing . Tighten the hose with the pressure block, start the motor, the motor drives the roller to rotate, and the roller squeezes the hose to make the liquid flow. Thereby transporting liquid.

Can peristaltic pumps pump air?

Yes, Chuangrui Peristaltic pump can pump air  .For our peristaltic pump’s standard pressure is 1.4bar (20.3 psi) . Max Vacuum pressure is about -1bar ,The work pressure should in this range .And pumping air means the pump dry work . will cause the tube easy to worn out . So if you want to pump the air , pls change the tube regularly.

Are peristaltic pumps self priming?
When the Chuangrui peristaltic pump is started, the pump itself can automatically remove the gas in the suction pipe and fill it with the liquid being sent, that is, the pump does not need to be filled before starting.

How deep can a peristaltic pump work?

The use of chuangrui peristaltic pump for water sampler always need to consider the vertical suction distance . A peristaltic pump has a theoretical lift limit of about10 meters. The reality of it is this: most peristaltic pumps lift water a maximum of anywhere between 5-8meters depending on the pump.
