Peristaltic pumps are positive displacement pumps used for pumping a variety of industrial fluids. SPS-Canada Peristaltic Pumps are designed for the toughest industrial applications and are ideal for abrasive, corrosive, viscous and crystallizing media. Customer does not have to worry about overheating even with high continuous flow rates and the pump operation is trouble-free and consistent.
View some of the peristaltic pump brands we carry below.
Flowrox Peristaltic Hose Pumps
The Flowrox peristaltic pumps are energy efficient, low maintenance, long life hoses that lead to substantial savings during the life cycle. This peristaltic pump is rugged, reliable, and easy-to-use.
There is no contamination of the pump or fluid. Nothing but the hose or tube touches the fluid, eliminating the risk of the pump contaminating the fluid, or the fluid contaminating the pump.
Flowrox pumps are ideal for slurries, viscous, shear-sensitive and aggressive fluids.
The pump design prevents backflow and syphoning without valves. We have a wide range of tubing for industrial, food-grade and medical requirements.
Easy to install, simple to operate, inexpensive to maintain.
Peristaltic Pump Tubing and Yoke Assemblies
Our Pharm-A-Line I tubing is manufactured from virgin, medical grade TPE and is homogeneously extruded to precise dimensional tolerances. Pharm-A-Line I tubing was specifically developed to provide superior performance for application in peristaltic pumps. Pharm-A-Line I provides an excellent alternative to silicone tubing when resistance to chemicals (such as acetone or methylene chloride) is a concern.
Pharm-A-Line I meets today’s most stringent cytotoxicity and extractability requirements for critical pharmaceutical process applications. It is recommended for most biological process fluids. Prior to release, we rigorously test each batch of resin for cytotoxicity and heavy metals.
Pharm-A-Line I is also ideal for liquid coupler connections between process tanks and fluidized bed process equipment. Other applications include sterile solutions, buffer agents, and food and beverage processing.
Benefits of Platinum Cured Silicone Tubing for Peristaltic Pumps
The two most common types of silicone tubing used in peristaltic pumps and systems are peroxide cured tubing and platinum-cured tubing. While both types of tubing have been popular choices throughout the past few decades, platinum cured silicone tubing has taken the lead as the number one choice in several industries.
Both tubing styles are preferred over older tubing systems because they are more reliable for use in peristaltic pumps in industries where high purity is demanded. While both curing methods for silicone tubing offer benefits to various industries, platinum curing has gained an edge in recent years amongst industries where high purity is particularly vital.
The platinum curing process involves the combination of two ingredients to complete the curing process. Also known as addition curing, platinum curing systems generally use vinyl-functional polymers combined with a platinum catalyst to cure the silicone tube. The chief benefit of the process itself is the lack of by-products from the combination of ingredients during curing. The result is a silicone tube with little to no by-products in the final polymer that can leach into the fluids traveling through the tube.
Chemistry aside, the platinum curing process provides a consistent end product time and again. On top of that, platinum cured tubes have a clear finish compared to the more opaque finish on peroxide cured tubing. While the consistent finish and final appearance of platinum tubes is advantageous, performance characteristics are even more critical.
Platinum cured silicone products offer greater tensile strength, elongation, and tear strength, all of which translate to a longer life span for the product. Additionally, platinum cured products offer advantages such as durability through a wide working temperature range (-80 degrees F to 420 degrees F), choice of durometer from 20 to 80 Shore A, biocompatibility, and a high dielectric strength.
For these reasons, platinum cured tubes have become vital in the medical and pharmaceutical industries in particular. A number of medical device manufacturers, for example, use this type of silicone tubing when extended contact with tissues and bodily fluids is necessary.
