Peristaltic pump hose life depends on how many times the hose is compressed, how hard it is squeezed, how hot it runs and what it is pumping. A peristaltic hose pump moves liquid by compressing a reinforced rubber hose with a rotor, which makes the hose the main wear part. Every hose eventually fails from fatigue. The causes below bring that point forward, and most of them sit in pump setup, o

When selecting an industrial pump, one of the most important factors to consider is the viscosity of the fluid being transferred.

Viscosity refers to a liquid’s resistance to flow caused by internal friction within the liquid. Simply put, the thicker the liquid, the higher the viscosity.

There are two main types of pumps available: positive displacement and centrifugal (rotodynamic) pump. It’s important you can distinguish between the two to ensure the pump type selected is appropriate for the application at hand.

Over the past few months, facilities around the country were shut down with little notice. Many business owners were sprung with the news with little notice, allowing no time to prepare equipment or machinery.
