Peristaltic pump for wastewater treatment
Peristaltic pumps play an important role in wastewater treatment operations. For many years, peristaltic pumps have been used to treat impure, particle-containing water, and various abrasive, corrosive and toxic chemicals used to clean water.
Peristaltic pump can be used for wastewater treatment, because their operation is based on the alternating contraction and relaxation of the hose, which forces the contents to move through the pump and into the discharge pipe. The smooth-walled flexible hose is squeezed between the boot on the rotor and the inside of the pump casing. This rotation causes the product to pass through the hose at a constant rate of displacement. The squeezed hose recovers to produce an almost complete vacuum, sucking more product into the hose from the intake pipe. The pumped product only touches hoses and inserts, making this pumping technology ideal for abrasive and corrosive applications.
