Understanding Pumps - Dosing and Peristaltic
Dosing and peristaltic pumps are essential tools in laboratories and industrial settings for precise liquid handling and transfer. Dosing pumps are designed to deliver specific volumes of liquids at controlled flow rates, making them ideal for applications such as chemical dosing, nutrient delivery in bioprocesses, and fluid transfer in analytical procedures. Peristaltic pumps, on the other hand, operate by compressing a flexible tube to move fluids, ensuring a continuous and smooth flow. This design is particularly beneficial for handling viscous or shear-sensitive liquids, as it minimises contamination and allows for easy cleaning. Both types of pumps are available in various configurations and flow rates, enabling users to select the appropriate model for their specific needs. By providing accurate and reliable liquid dispensing, dosing and peristaltic pumps play a critical role in enhancing the efficiency of laboratory processes and industrial operations.
