Peristaltic pumps are positive displacement pumps that operate by compressing and releasing a flexible tube or hose using rotating rollers or shoes. This motion creates a peristaltic effect, pushing the fluid through the tube without it coming into contact with the pump’s internal components. These pumps are ideal for handling sensitive, viscous, or abrasive fluids, as well as those containing solids. Commonly used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and water treatment, peristaltic pumps are valued for their precision, gentle pumping action, and ease of maintenance.
