1. For Clean and Hygienic Delivery: Clean and hygienic delivery refers to the delivery of edible liquids such as food and beverages, or liquids containing solids. Compared to other pump types, when delivering liquids, the liquid only comes into contact with the pump tubing. Peristaltic pumps can be equipped with FDA food-grade tubing, making them the primary choice for delivering hygienic and clean liquids. Common applications include beverage machines, vending machines, juice machines, coffee machines, and milk analyzers.
2. For Delivering Corrosive Liquids: In our daily lives, besides ordinary water and beverages, there are many chemical liquids, such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, which are widely used, especially in medical devices and chemical equipment. The main reason for choosing peristaltic pumps in these applications is that the pump tubing can be made of corrosion-resistant tubing.
3. For Low-Shear Delivery: Another advantage of peristaltic pumps compared to other pump types is their low shear rate. Low shear rate refers to the phenomenon where, in liquids containing solids or at the cellular level, a peristaltic pump generates suction by squeezing only a portion of the tubing, thus causing very little damage to the liquid itself. Small particles or cells can pass through the pump chamber intact. Major applications include cell analyzers and orange juice machines.
