  Classification of Peristaltic Pumps

  Peristaltic pumps are classified based on their operational features and applications to achieve desired flow rates.

  1. Basic Peristaltic Pumps: These pumps offer fundamental control functions, primarily adjusting the pump speed via a potentiometer. Features may include key-operated speed adjustment, digital speed display, start/stop, forward/reverse rotation, speed regulation, power-off memory, and external control input. A full-speed key is often included for rapid filling or emptying.

  2. Flow-Rate Peristaltic Pumps: In addition to basic functions, these pumps provide flow rate display, communication capabilities, and timing/dosing features. They often include a calibration function to ensure high fluid accuracy and can be programmed for automated dispensing and filling.

  3. Dispensing Peristaltic Pumps: Similar to flow-rate pumps, dispensing pumps have additional features like historical data storage, allowing for quick retrieval of frequently used parameters.

  4. Industrial Peristaltic Pumps: These pumps employ high-torque, maintenance-free brushless DC motors and are primarily used for high-flow rate applications in industrial production.

  5. Explosion-Proof Peristaltic Pumps: Powered by high-torque, maintenance-free AC geared motors with variable frequency drive, these pumps are ideal for transferring viscous or shear-sensitive fluids.

  6. Customized (OEM) Peristaltic Pumps: Compact in size, these pumps are suitable for low-flow applications with less stringent accuracy requirements. Customers can customize the drive circuit to suit their specific equipment.

  7. Handheld Peristaltic Pumps: Designed for field sampling and online monitoring, these pumps ensure sample cleanliness and can handle high-viscosity or particulate-laden liquids. They are easy to operate and clean.
