Peristaltic Pump Applications Across Demanding Industries
From the laboratory bench to the process floor, PERIFLOW peristaltic pumps move fluids cleanly and accurately. Explore how our pump heads, tubing and complete pumps serve laboratory, chemical dosing, food & beverage and biopharma applications.
Why Peristaltic
One Pump Principle, Four Major Industries
Fluid Touches Only the Tube
No valves, seals or impellers in the flow path. The pump tube is the only wetted part, so cross-contamination between batches is simply designed out.
Precise, Repeatable Dosing
Digitally controlled roller speed delivers ±1% flow accuracy — the same dose every cycle, shift after shift.
Self-Priming & Run-Dry Safe
Peristaltic pumps prime automatically and tolerate dry running without damage, simplifying installation and protecting unattended processes.
Low Shear for Sensitive Fluids
Gentle squeezing action keeps cells, proteins, emulsions and shear-sensitive ingredients intact during transfer.

Common Application Questions
Why choose a peristaltic pump over a diaphragm or centrifugal pump?
Peristaltic pumps have no valves, seals or impellers in contact with the fluid. That means no clogging, no seal leakage and no cross-contamination — with the pump tube as the only consumable, which you can replace in minutes.
Which pump tube material should I use?
Platinum-cured silicone suits most aqueous, laboratory and food applications. PTFE-lined tubing handles aggressive chemicals. Share your fluid data and our engineers will recommend the right tube for your process.
What accuracy can I expect?
PERIFLOW digital pumps deliver ±1% flow repeatability for dosing and dispensing applications. Calibrated tubing and controlled roller speed keep the dose consistent.
Can peristaltic pumps run dry?
Yes. Because the fluid never touches the pump mechanism, dry running causes no damage — a major safety advantage for dosing and unattended processes.
Do you support custom configurations for my application?
Yes. We offer OEM/ODM configurations — panel-mount, multi-channel and 12-24V designs — built around your application requirements and volumes.
