Peristaltic hose pump is an extremely popular option for pumping slurries with a solids content of up to 80%. The extensive range of chemically resistant hoses now available has resulted in peristaltic hose pump being suitable for handling many of the most demanding chemicals. What's more, where chemicals of a high value are involved, peristaltic hose pump is economic because at the end of the processing cycle or operation, the pumping motion can be reversed and any fluid remaining in the squeeze hose can be returned to its source for future use. Indeed, when faced with a corrosive slurry peristaltic hose pumps are often the only option capable of handling the combination of corrosion, solids and abrasion.  Peristaltic hose pump also has been used in mining industry for pumping mineral cement, mineral slurry, and residue slurry etc.
Mineral slurry and residue slurry with high viscosity, big aggregate size, it is hard for common pump to pumping, and because of the bad working condition, we proved peristaltic pumping technology is one good idea which could be used in mining industry. Rough mining mud contains more than 80% of sub-micron solids and mud with a specific gravity (SGS) exceeding 2.0. Only hose pumps can pump such viscous fluids and can maintain a high level of equipment utilization. In this working environment, centrifugal pumps and the like will cause continuous failures and cannot pump such high SG mud. Only relatively low equipment performance. The peristaltic hose pump for pumping slurries is a positive displacement pump where the fluid is contained within a hose or tube inside the casing. The fluid is moved into and out of the squeeze hose by the action of rotating rollers or shoes which alternatively compress and relax the squeeze hose. The peristaltic hose pumping action ensures that the fluid is transported accurately and without any variation in the volume, making it an ideal proposition dosing requirements. Peristaltic hose pump for pumping slurries reduce operating costs by reducing downtime and save additional auxiliary equipment, such as centrifuges and filters, that are needed to transport primary and thick mud to sedimentation tanks or dewatering equipment. Peristaltic hose pump for pumping slurries with simple structure, only has pump house, rotor, roller, idel roller, squeeze tube and driving unit. So when use peristaltic pump to pumping the slurry, easy operate and maintenance.Peristaltic hose pump for pumping slurries has no seals, no valves, also could self-priming, so when use peristaltic pump to pumping the slurry with low failure rate. Peristaltic hose pump for pumping slurries's only wearing parts is squeeze hose, so when use peristaltic hose pump to pumping slurry will save cost.
