Peristaltic Pumps
Peristaltic pumps, particularly in their smaller versions, are highly effective for dosing applications in various industrial processes, including the food industry. Utilising a unique mechanism in which fluid is moved through a flexible tube by the sequential compression of rollers, these pumps offer exceptional accuracy and contamination-free fluid handling.
Key features of peristaltic pumps include their ability to handle a wide range of fluid types, including viscous and particle-laden fluids, without the need for seals or valves that could compromise dosing accuracy. The gentle pumping action ensures the integrity of sensitive ingredients, making them ideal for dosing fruits, flavours and additives in food processing applications.
Typical Application Range of Dosing Peristaltic Pumps
- Flow Rate Range
Typically from 0.02 litres per hour to 290 litres per hour (L/h).
Some industrial models can handle (much) higher flow rates, depending on the application and design. - Pressure Range
Generally up to 2 bar for very low flows up to maximum 16 bar in the most extreme applications. - Accuracy
Typically within ±0.5% to ±2% of the set point, depending on the specific pump design and application.
Benefits of Peristaltic Pumps for Dosing Applications
- Precision
Accurate fluid metering, which is important to maintaining consistent product quality. - Clean operation
Contamination-free pumping due to the isolated flow path,
ideal for maintaining food safety and hygiene standards. - Versatility
Capable of handling a wide range of fluid viscosities and particle sizes,
including syrups, sauces and suspensions. - Ease of maintenance
Reduces downtime and maintenance costs through simple design
with easily replaceable tubing. - Self-Priming
The ability to self-prime and run dry without damage increases operational flexibility.
In the food industry, peristaltic pumps are used to meter flavourings, vitamins and other ingredients with high precision, ensuring consistent taste and quality in the final product. Their reliable performance and adaptability to different types of fluids make them the preferred choice for accurate and efficient dosing in food processing applications.
