Peristaltic Pumps used for Dispensing Applications
Announcement posted by John Morris Group 21 Dec 2015
Though Masterflex peristaltic pumps are versatile enough for many applications, wastewater to industrial to manufacturing, here are our most used dispensing applications:
1) Research & Development (R&D) and Quality Control
With accuracy and repeatability in low-volume dispensing applications, Masterflex tubing pumps are an effective option for laboratory research and development.
Common uses include transferring fluids into smaller containers, preparing test samples, dispensing media, and performing serial dilutions.
2) Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology
The non-contaminating, sterilisation options for tubing make peristaltic pumps popular in pharmaceutical and biotech. From pill coating to dilutions to dispensing microbiological media, to filling and packaging, Masterflex pumps deliver the solution.
3) Food and Beverage
With the availability of modular and console washdown pumps along with tubing formulations that meet USP, FDA, NSF, and 3A requirements, Masterflex also handles many food and beverage applications.
Typical uses in this industry include dispensing flavourings, colourings, vitamins, nutraceuticals, and other additives in processing. These peristaltic pumps also dispense end products on production lines or into shelf packages.
Masterflex peristaltic pumps confine the media to the tubing providing you with a pump that cannot contaminate the fluid and the fluid cannot contaminate your pump. This contamination free pumping makes tubing pumps great for use in high-purity applications including the transfer or dosing of chemicals and additives in food, pharmaceutical and semiconductor applications. In addition as the media is confined to the tubing a tubing pump offers easy maintenance and reduced down time compared to other pumping technologies.
Tubing pumps use flexible tubing to run through rollers in the pump head. As fluid goes through the pump head, packets of fluids are formed. Flow rate is determined by the size of the packets and the speed of the rollers turning. By controlling the size of the tubing and the speed of the pump head accurate metering of the media can be achieved.
Masterflex offer tubing pumps suitable for use in labs, pilot plants, process and OEM applications. From low cost fixed speed pumps to advanced controlled models suitable for critical metering and dispensing applications John Morris Scientific is able to offer a Cole-Parmer tubing pump solution.
