The peristaltic pump system is the best solution for microfluid delivery featuring precise, reproducible and versatile. They are operated by compressing and releasing the flexible tube in a circular motion to push the liquid through the tubing without exposing the liquid to mechanical parts. However, most people are confused about how to select the right peristaltic pump when they learn about the first time. Today we will show you a detailed guide about selecting the right peristaltic pump system.
1. Confirm Your Requirements
Before choosing the peristaltic pump, we suggest the customers confirm your requirements. That is very important. The requests usually include:
- What flow rate do I need?
- What chemical do I need to transfer?
- Are there any relevant factors that need to be considered during the application of the pump system, such as whether the viscosity of the fluid to be transferred is very high and whether a higher back pressure is required?
Chonry® Solution About Peristaltic Pump Flow Rate
As the leading peristaltic pump manufacturer in China, Chonry® provides a wide range of peristaltic pump flow rate options. We divide into four series of peristaltic pumps according to the flow rate range.
Chonry® S series peristaltic pumps-- max flow rate is up to 300ml/min
Chonry® O series peristaltic pumps--max flow rate is up to 6000ml/min
Chonry® L series peristaltic pumps---max flow rate is up to 12 L/min
Chonry® X series peristaltic pumps--max flow rate is up to 40 L/min
2. Select the Suitable Pump Head, Peristaltic Pump Tubing, Driver or Whole Peristaltic Pump System
The whole peristaltic pump system consists of a peristaltic pump head, flexible tube and driver. Please choose the suitable products and match them according your applications or you can choose one whole peristaltic pump system.
1) Guide of Selecting Peristaltic Pumps Heads:
Flow rate - Different pump heads can achieve different flow rates.
Tubing replacement frequency - Some pump heads can quickly change the pump tubing.
Number of channels required - Most pump heads are stackable.
Chemical compatibility - The material of the pump head is very important, otherwise once the chemical splashes out of the pump tubing, it may cause corrosion to the pump head.
Accuracy - Standard pump heads can ensure the maximum accuracy and reproducibility of flow rate.
2) Guide of Selecting Peristaltic Pumps Tube:
Flow rate - The size of the pump tube directly affects the flow rate.
Chemical compatibility - Choose a pump tube of different materials based on the chemical properties of the output liquid.
Fluid viscosity, whether it contains solids, back pressure, or suction head - When the transmission process has special requirements for the above conditions, high-efficiency pump tubes are the most suitable.
Fluid temperature - Norprene A-60-F tube, High temperature resistance, -51℃-135℃.
3) Guide of Selecting Peristaltic Pumps Driver:
Flow rate—The speed of the actuator is directly proportional to the flow rate.
Adjustable speed—Variable speed actuators can adjust the flow rate.
Accuracy of flow rate or dispense amount—Most actuators have digital speed control circuitry to ensure high accuracy and reproducibility of flow rate.
Remote control or computer connection—Some actuators can be connected to your process controller or controlled by a foot switch.
Hazardous environment protection—Most actuators are completely sealed to protect against water and dust.
