INTRODUCTION

Peristaltic Pump
• A peristaltic pump is a type of positive displacement pump used to transfer
fluids.
• It works by creating a progressive cavity that moves fluid through a flexible
tube.
CLASSIFICATION OF PUMPS
 DISADVANTAGE OF OTHER PUMPS WHEN
COMPARED TO PERISTALTIC PUMP

• Can not use for Clean liquids and harsh chemicals in low-pressure applications
•
• Pumping of thicker fluids are not easy
•
• Can not work more easily under difficult conditions
PERISTALTIC PUMP
Working Principle

1 Compression

The pump head compresses the tube, which forces the fluid to move through it.

2 Relaxation

The tube recovers to its original shape, creating a vacuum that draws more fluid into the pump
head.

3 Repetition

This process repeats, creating a consistent flow of fluid with a high level of accuracy.
Advantages
Precise Measurement
Peristaltic pumps offer highly
precise measurement and control
over the flow rate of fluids,
making them ideal for laboratory
use.
Low-Shear Pumping
They have a gentle pumping
action that eliminates shear forces,
making them ideal for pumping
shear-sensitive fluids like blood
and biochemical compounds.
Self-Priming
Peristaltic pumps are self-priming
and can run dry without damage,
which makes them ideal for
applications where consistent flow
rate and easy maintenance are
essential.
 DISADVANTAGE

• Limited flow rates

• Higher manufacturing costs
• Not suitable for high-pressure applications.
• sensitive to fluid viscosity
• Complex design
•
Applications
