Heavy duty hose pump is a kind of peristaltic pump. It is used mainly for grouting cement. An elastomeric tube is squeezed along a length by rollers that push the fluid contained within. The tube’s restitution after squeezing produces a vacuum that draws fluid continuously into the tube. This creates a gentle pumping action that doesn’t cause any damage to the product. Contaminations are avoided because the fluid is contained within the tube. The hose pump employs a rotor with rollers mounted on it that continually compress and occlude some portion of the tube. This action moves the fluid through the tube with a constant rate of displacement for each revolution of the rotor, enabling a precise measurement of the volume of fluid pumped through the tube.
This is based on the operating characteristics of the pump hose, heavy duty peristaltic pump have much more advantage than other type pump:
1. Less consumption part, peristaltic tube is the only consumption part;
2. Sealessness and valveless;
3. Self priming with high suction;
4. Can run dry without damage.
5. Easy to clean.
