Peristaltic Pump Advantages
- Wear because of abrasion from hard solids or chemical attack is mitigated as a result of everything being self-contained within the hose element which is an issue with most pump types especially where rotating elements come directly into contact with the product.
- Flow rate drop off as a result of fluctuating viscosity levels is a minor concern compared to other pump technologies such as AODD pumps (Air Operated Diagram) or centrifugal pumps as capacity and efficiency will remain constant.
- Suction lift of around 9 metres.
- Comparatively much lower maintenance compared to other pump types (just a change of hose and lubricant)
- Can run dry.
- Accurate dosing and transfer
Peristaltic hose pumps have become increasingly popular in the wine and brewing industry due to their ability to handle delicate materials with high accuracy and reliability. As a manufacturer of these pumps, we believe that they offer several benefits over traditional pump systems.
One of the primary benefits of using peristaltic hose pumps in the wine and brewing industry is their ability to handle shear-sensitive materials. These pumps use a gentle squeezing action to move the fluid through the hose, which helps to maintain the integrity of the product. This makes them ideal for use in the wine and brewing industry, where quality and consistency are of the utmost importance.
Another advantage of peristaltic pumps is their accuracy and consistency. These pumps offer precise control over the flow rate and volume, which is essential in the wine and brewing industry. For example, in the wine industry, accurate dosing of additives is critical to achieve the desired flavour profile. Peristaltic pumps offer an easy way to control the flow rate and volume, ensuring that the wine is consistent from batch to batch.
Peristaltic pumps are also easy to clean and maintain, which is important in any food and beverage processing application. Unlike other pump systems, peristaltic pumps have no internal valves or seals, which can trap material and cause contamination. The hose can be quickly and easily replaced, and the pump can be cleaned without disassembly, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
For example, peristaltic pumps can be used in the brewing process to transfer wort and yeast. They can also be used to pump wine from storage tanks to bottling lines, as well as to dose additives and fining agents. Peristaltic pumps are also commonly used in the cleaning and sanitizing process, where they can be used to pump cleaning solutions and rinse water.
To summarize, peristaltic hose pumps provide many advantages compared to conventional pump systems in the wine and brewing industry. These pumps are dependable, precise, and adaptable, and they can transport delicate materials while ensuring product quality is not compromised.
