Hose pumps

 
Hose Pump Operating Principle
 

Hose pumps, also known as peristaltic pumps, are positive displacement pumps in which the pumped medium flows inside a flexible hose. The pump mechanism compresses the hose and moves the pumped medium forward through the hose. The pumped medium comes into contact only with the inner surface of the pump hose.

Hose pumps are particularly suitable for pumping viscous, abrasive and solid-containing media. They are used, among other applications, in the process industry, chemical industry, wastewater treatment and food industry.

Advantages and Limitations of Hose Pumps

Advantages

  • Gentle pumping is suitable for shear-sensitive media
  • Self-priming and dry-running options are available
  • No valves or shaft seals
  • Simple maintenance and hose replacement

Limitations

  • Pressure: Hose pumps typically operate at pressures of 2–15 bar. Another pump type is required for very high pressures.
  • Pulsating flow: Pulsation can be reduced when necessary with a pulsation dampener.

Tapflo Hose Pumps

Tapflo's hose pump range includes the PT, a shoe-operated design developed for high-pressure applications. It can handle operating pressures of up to 15 bar.

The PTL uses a roller design and is suitable for operating pressures of up to 4 bar. The different pump designs affect both the operating range and the mechanical load on the hose.

Several hose and connection options are available, including solutions for ATEX and food processing applications. See the brochure for detailed specifications and available configurations.
