General Description

Aalborg’s TPU model peristaltic pumps are designed for safety and long life. They are economical, easy to load, sturdy, and compact for a small footprint. Designed for use with liquids of widely diverse viscosity, they are suitable for laboratory, processing and OEM applications, even fuel with the appropriate tubing.

Principles of Operation

Flexible tubing, which conveys fluid from source to destination, is squeezed inside the pump head by rotating rollers against a rigid, crescent-shaped occlusion wall. The rollers induce suction in a pulsing rhythm. The occlusion is adjustable on TPU models for increased pressure, or decreased pressure to extend tubing life.

Each pump is comprised of a front panel with controls, a pump head, a motor, a rigid case with four rubber feet and a handle. The handle is practical both to carry the pump and, when rotated beneath the pump, to serve as a base that lifts and angles the pump face, making the controls even more easily accessible to the user.
