Hose Pumps
Hose pumps
Hose pumps are a specific type of positive displacement pumps that work on the principle of mechanical compression of the hose to ensure the flow of fluid. This system is also known as a peristaltic pump, where rotating rollers or pulleys compress a flexible hose that is attached to the inner wall of the pump.
The conveyed medium (viscosity up to 35,000 mPas) does not come into contact with the moving parts of the pump, but only with the inner surface of the working hose.
- Positive displacement pumps without seals and valves
- Naturka rubber*, neoprene, hypalon, ponnpren*, perbunan*, EPDM
- (*those with FDA-certification for food use)
Applicability for:
- Aggressive transported substances - acids, alkalis, electroplating baths, wastewater
- Abrasive materials - glazes, enamels, porcelain and ceramic slips, sludge
- Viscous substances - syrups, doughs, pastes, glues, yeasts and other thick substances
