Help: What can be used as a substitute for a peristaltic pump?

This post was last edited by 84656995 on 2011-6-1 17:07. Peristaltic pumps are used for flow control of feed materials in the production process (**furan**). However, the hoses of peristaltic pumps need to be replaced from time to time, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly. Is there any good alternative to peristaltic pumps that can enable precise control of the feed volume?
Reply to 1# 84656995: One feature of peristaltic pumps is their ability to deliver fluid in precise quantities, with an accuracy error of around one thousandth, or even higher. Moreover, they come equipped with various functions related to delivery, such as timed and quantified delivery, repeated quantified delivery, automatic re-calibration, and automatic cleaning. Since it is a sealless pump, there is no concern about leakage; it is used for transporting corrosive materials, abrasive materials, valuable materials, and so on. Replacing the peristaltic pump can start with a diaphragm pump. But other problems will arise as well. For example, diaphragm pumps are not suitable for transporting materials with high viscosity and many particles.
All of our products can meet the required standards. The selection of pipes involves very strict criteria, while the choice of hoses depends on various factors such as the structure of the pump, the fit between the pump and the pipe, the materials used for both the pump and the pipe, as well as the manufacturing processes involved. If appropriate, imported products can be considered as an option. We are the OEM team belonging to Watson-Marlow Pumps Groups, part of the Spillax group; our pumps enjoy the highest quality ratings and the best user feedback in the industry. If you have any questions regarding technology or usage, feel free to contact me. We have acquired several companies that manufacture peristaltic pumps. In 1977, the company became part of the Smith & Nephew healthcare group, and in 1988 its facilities were expanded to accommodate its activities in the industrial and research sectors. In 1990, the company was acquired by Spax Group, and it further expanded in 1995. The Watson-Marlow U.S. company was established in 1991. The Watson-Marlow U.S. company was established in 1991; the Watson-Marlow Netherlands company was set up in 1994. Watson-Marlow companies were founded in Germany, France, and Belgium in 1995. In 1996, Spillack acquired Bredel Pumps. The Watson-Marlow Italy company was established in 1997. In 1999, the companies in the UK merged to form Watson-Marlow Bredel. In 2000, the Swedish company Alitea was acquired. The silicone tube factory in Falmouth was completed in 2001. A new product, the 323 peristaltic pump, was introduced in 2002. The 520 IP31 peristaltic pump was launched in 2003, followed by the 520 IP66 peristaltic pump in 2004. The 620 IP66 peristaltic pump was introduced in 2005. In 2008, the Danish manufacturer of sterile filling systems, Fle*con, was acquired
It is recommended to use platinum tubing for peristaltic pump hoses, as this significantly increases their lifespan; however, the cost is higher
