Operating instructions Peristaltic Pump RP Series
5 CONSTRUCTION
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. Two shoes attached to the rotor serve
to press the pump hose against the pump housing.
The rotary movement of the rotor alternately presses and releases the
shoes against the pump hose. This serves to suck the media and convey it
into the metering line.
