Peristaltic Pump 3D Design

1) What does a peristaltic pump do? 👉 Peristaltic, tube or hose pump is a type of positive displacement pump that transports the liquid through the tube by a series of rollers, that squeeze it against the pump housing, in a similar way that we swallow food. 2) Where is the peristaltic pump used? 👉 Peristaltic pumps are used for pizza sauce dispensing, juice production, and the injection of vitamins A & D. They are also used to circulate cell suspension in fermentation. They are used for the aspiration of tissue culture media and harvesting cell media. 3) How efficient are peristaltic pumps? 👉 Peristaltic pumps are an eco-friendly choice, as they use 60% less electricity than a traditional centrifugal pump. Advantages -No contamination. Because the only part of the pump in contact with the fluid being pumped is the interior of the tube, it is easy to sterilize and clean the inside surfaces of the pump. -Low maintenance needs and easy to clean; their lack of valves, seals and glands makes them comparatively inexpensive to maintain. -They are able to handle slurries, viscous, shear-sensitive and aggressive fluids. -Pump design prevents backflow and siphoning without valves. -A fixed amount of fluid is pumped per rotation, so it can be used to roughly measure the amount of pumped fluid. Disadvantages -The flexible tubing will tend to degrade with time and require periodic replacement. -The flow is pulsed, particularly at low rotational speeds. Therefore, these pumps are less suitable where a smooth consistent flow is required. In applications that require smooth flow, an alternative type of positive displacement pump should then be considered. -Effectiveness is limited by liquid viscosity #3ddesign #engineering #pump #cad #design #mechanical #short #engineer #designer #learn #science #engine #trending #shorts #youtube #cam #youtubeshorts
