Peristaltic Pumps Series IP 100-800
With each rotation of the rotor the two sliding
pieces discharge product towards the pressure
side, while the same quantity is drawn in by the
vacuum on the suction side (Fig. 7).

The rotor rotates inside the lubricant filled pump
housing and compresses the hose with its outer
rotor ends. This process hermetically separates
the suction from the pressure side (Fig. 4).
The volume (Fig. 5) between both rotor ends is
exactly half the displacement per revolution.
The rotation of the rotor displaces the product
inside the hose towards the outlet port on the
pressure side. This generates a vacuum in the
suction side each time the hose opens, which
ensures constant drawing in of product. This
takes place even when there is no product in
the pump, making the pump self-priming.
