Advantages of Peristaltic Pump Technology

Experience the reliability and efficiency of Delasco™ peristaltic pumps, engineered to simplify your production process and reduce operating costs. This advanced peristaltic technology ensures consistent performance, long service life, and easy maintenance across a wide range of industrial applications.

Key benefits of Delasco™ peristaltic pumps:

Preserves fluid integrity – Only one wearing part (the hose) comes into contact with the product, maintaining purity and quality.
Smooth, gentle pumping action – Ideal for shear-sensitive or viscous fluids.
Hygienic, seamless design – Minimizes contamination risk and simplifies cleaning.
Self-priming performance – Ready to operate without additional equipment or complex setup.
High suction capacity – Ensures reliable flow, even with challenging or thick fluids.
Easy, low-maintenance design – The hose is the only component requiring regular replacement.
Low total cost of ownership – Fewer spare parts mean reduced downtime and lower life-cycle costs.
Seal-free and valve-free operation – Eliminates mechanical seals, gaskets, and suction/discharge valves for leak-free reliability.
Reversible flow capability – Provides flexibility for forward and backward pumping.

Whether you need a durable industrial pump for chemical processing, wastewater management, or food production, Delasco™ peristaltic pumps deliver unmatched performance and dependability.

The peristaltic pump principle

Peristaltic pumps are a type of positive displacement pump designed to handle a wide range of fluids with precision and reliability. Our industrial pumps operate on the peristaltic principle, where the deformation and compression of a flexible elastomer hose move the fluid through the system. This technology eliminates the need for dynamic sealing.

Because only the hose comes into contact with the fluid, the purity and integrity of the pumped product are fully preserved. The absence of dynamic seals also means fewer spare parts, resulting in minimal maintenance and lower operating costs.

We offer a comprehensive range of industrial hose pumps suitable for a variety of applications. To meet your specific process requirements, our selection includes both high-pressure and low-pressure models, with flow rates ranging from 200 L/h to 100 m³/h for maximum flexibility and performance.
