The pump housing is closed off with a bolted front cover in order to avoid
the risk of injury.
The motor serves to drive the rotor. Three rollers attached to the rotor
serve to press the tube against the pump housing.
The rotary movement of the rotor alternately presses and releases the
rollers against the tube. This serves to suck the media and convey it into
the metering line.
