1. What is a peristaltic pump used for? A peristaltic pump is a new type of industrial pump that is advanced and multifunctional, developed by drawing on foreign cutting-edge technology. It mainly consists of a pump body, a rotating frame, compression wheels, recovery wheels, reinforced hoses, and a drive system. It can be used for the long-distance transportation of viscous slurries in industries such as construction, mining, food processing, papermaking, ceramics, and other suitable fields, as well as for metered pumping, pressure grouting, and the transportation and spraying of materials. The invention of the peristaltic pump has eliminated the traditional operating mode based on pump impellers and shaft seals; it offers significant advantages when transporting media with high viscosity, strong corrosiveness, or many impurities. It operates on a principle completely different from that of traditional pumps, and its application range is wide. 2. Advantages of peristaltic pumps: ① They are an ideal choice for transporting various fibers and slurries that are sensitive to shearing, are corrosive, or are mixtures of gases, liquids, and solids, with the diameter of the materials typically ranging from 4 to 6 mm. ② There is no need to replace seals, gaskets, impeller rotors, stators, or any other traditional internal components of the pump. ③ The pump can move in both directions; when rotating clockwise, there is no backflow or siphoning phenomenon, and it also has the function of a shut-off valve； During reversal, the fluid can be pumped out and sucked back in. ④ It can transport erosive fluids, fluids with high viscosity and high density, as well as paste-like fluids. 3. Applicable applications of peristaltic pumps: ① Chemical industry: various corrosion-resistant slurries and inorganic salt materials. ② Food industry: transportation of oils, beverages, and paste-like substances. ③ Paper industry: transportation of pulp and sulfur. ④ Construction industry: cement mortar, foam concrete production lines, lightweight foam materials for rooftops; use in tunnels, subway construction, and wall coating applications; paints, coatings, titanium dioxide, etc. ⑤ Others: sludge, lime slurry, etc.
