Introduction

1.1 Description

The peristaltic pump offers exceptional simplicity, ease-of- use, and variable flow capacity. The pump is self-priming and non-siphoning. It prevents back flow since one of the three rollers is always compressing the tubing. As one section of a tube fatigues, simply move the tube along to an unused section and continue pumping. To facilitate changing the tubing, a latch mechanism allows for easy opening and closing of the pump.

No tools are required to load the tube. Pumps are mounted to a pump motor via two screws and can be double stacked. Tubing can even be changed on stacked pumps without detaching either of the pumps from the motor. Once tubing is loaded, a clamp plate holds it securely in place during pump operation. A single pump can handle a broad range of flow rates and tube materials.
