1.1 Description

The peristaltic pump offers exceptional simplicity, ease-of-
use, and variable flow capacity. The pump is self-priming
and non-siphoning. It prevents back flow since one of the
three rollers is always compressing the tubing. As one section
of a tube fatigues, simply move the tube along to an unused
section and continue pumping. To facilitate changing the
tubing, a latch mechanism allows for easy opening and
closing of the pump.
No tools are required to load the tube. Pumps are mounted to
a pump motor via two screws and can be double stacked.
Tubing can even be changed on stacked pumps without
detaching either of the pumps from the motor. Once tubing is
loaded, a clamp plate holds it securely in place during pump
operation. A single pump can handle a broad range of flow
rates and tube materials.
