Why a Peristaltic Pump’s Self-Priming Capability Matters in Batch Dosing Applications
Batch dosing systems fail at the transition points — when a drum runs empty, when a line runs dry after maintenance, when the system restarts after a weekend shutdown. At these moments, a pump that cannot self-prime will either run dry until someone notices and intervenes, or inject air into the dosing line and corrupt […]
Why Peristaltic Pumps Are the Right Choice for Shear-Sensitive Fluids — and When They’re Not
Not all fluids survive being pumped the same way. An emulsion, a biological broth, a polymer solution, or a flocculated suspension can be destroyed by passing through the wrong pump — not chemically, but mechanically. The shear forces generated inside a centrifugal impeller or at an AODD check valve seat are sufficient to break droplet […]
