Top manufacturer of peristaltic pumps
Peristaltic pumps, also known as hose pumps, play a key role in industry because they can transport a wide variety of media efficiently and precisely. These pumps are an ideal solution for applications where maximum cleanliness and the avoidance of contamination are crucial. They are used in the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and laboratory industries. Thanks to self-priming and vacuum capability, hose pumps can operate efficiently even in negative pressure ranges, minimizing the risk of fluid leakage. The use of special hose materials such as polypropylene or EPDM in conjunction with a flexible pump hose enables optimal pumping of viscous or shear-sensitive fluids.
The unique design, consisting of a pump head and tubing, mechanically clamped by rollers or glide shoes, ensures precise dosing and adjustable flow rates, measurable in the microliter range up to 2,000 ml/min. Regular tubing changes and easy cleaning also ensure that the pumps function reliably over long operating periods and that maintenance requirements remain low.
These aspects make peristaltic pumps a reliable and low-maintenance option, ideal for pumping a wide variety of media in numerous industrial, medical, and scientific applications.
The versatility of peristaltic pumps makes them ideal for a wide range of applications. From the precise dosing of chemical reagents to the handling of sensitive biological fluids, these pumps minimize the risk of cross-contamination and allow for easy maintenance. Their closed system ensures that no air or contaminants come into contact with the product, making them particularly suitable for sterile processes. The use of special tubing materials such as polypropylene or EPDM increases the chemical resistance and service life of the pump tubing, further improving operational reliability.
The technical design of peristaltic pumps allows for precise flow rates to be controlled, which is essential for applications requiring precise liquid volumes. Modern peristaltic pumps can operate efficiently even under the harshest conditions thanks to their multi-roller design and special tubing materials. The durability and low maintenance of these pumps reduce operating costs and increase overall productivity in production facilities. Innovative drive solutions such as stepper motors or brushless direct current (BLDC) motors optimize speed and deliver precise volumes from a few microliters to several liters per minute. Peristaltic pumps operate on the principle of peristaltic motion – a series of rollers or sliding shoes alternately press on a flexible tube, moving the fluid forward. This mechanism protects the fluid from external mechanical deformation and creates a low-pulsation, continuous flow rate. The design also enables a self-priming function, which facilitates the aspiration of fluids from a negative pressure range and minimizes the risk of fluid leaks. Regular hose replacement keeps the inner surface of the hose intact and gently pumps shear-sensitive fluids such as blood or biological cultures.
The ability to use different hose materials and diameters allows peristaltic pumps to be configured for a wide range of media, from highly viscous pastes to liquid solutions. Additionally, optional components such as backflow seals or special lubricants ensure even greater adaptability to specific requirements, such as those found in industrial, medical, or scientific environments. This makes peristaltic pumps an indispensable tool for precise and hygienic fluid management tasks.
overview
A perfect pump can transport fluids sterilely using the peristaltic principle. A peristaltic pump should also be able to pump viscous media without any problems. MDX peristaltic pumps master both functions. MDX peristaltic pumps can be used in laboratories in the medical, biotechnology, environmental analysis, chemical, and food industries.
A touchpad with 5 function keys and a 2-line display ensure very simple and convenient operation of all MDX peristaltic pumps. The display takes over operation and shows all relevant data during pump operation. The calibration function allows for very precise adjustment of flow rates, both by proportionally selecting the speed and directly by predefined fluid volumes. For multi-channel pumps, it is advisable to use the same tubing cassettes, tubing, and all channels for calibrating the performance indicator, as calibration of just one channel is sufficient.
The flow rates, however, remain unchanged, as they depend on the tubing diameter and external influences such as pressure, viscosity, and temperature of the fluids. The timer function predefines the pause time and the number of cycles.
In pulse mode, the flow rates are predefined and triggered manually. Both functions can also be started using a footswitch. All data is saved until further changes are made.
The pump capacities listed in the tables refer to individual pump heads with 3 rollers. The pump capacities decrease with increasing number of rollers. 6-roller pump heads reduce the capacity by up to 30%, but also reduce pulsation. 8-roller pump heads reduce the capacity by up to 40% and minimize pulsation.
MDX Biotech’s peristaltic and laboratory pumps offer precise pumping of liquids and gases thanks to their technical superiority and reliability. These pumps are indispensable in laboratories and support a wide range of industrial, medical, and scientific applications thanks to their ease of use and the quick interchangeability of accessories such as tubing. Their special design allows for precise flow rate control and a low-pulsation, continuous flow rate, which is particularly advantageous when handling shear-sensitive liquids such as blood or biological cultures.
The closed system of the peristaltic pumps minimizes the risk of cross-contamination, making them particularly suitable for sterile processes. The use of special tubing materials such as polypropylene or EPDM not only increases chemical resistance but also extends the service life of the tubing, resulting in reduced operating costs and improved operational reliability. In addition, modern drive solutions such as stepper motors or brushless direct current (BLDC) motors offer the possibility of pumping precise quantities from a few microliters up to several liters per minute, which further increases the adaptability of these pumps to specific requirements.
