Peristaltic Hose Pumps

MAXWOR peristaltic hose pumps are positive displacement pump systems in which the fluid is conveyed exclusively inside a hose. The operating principle is based on a motion similar to human peristalsis, where pressure shoes mounted on a rotating rotor compress the hose and push the fluid forward.

Since the fluid does not come into contact with the pump housing, it enables safe transfer of abrasive, particle-laden, viscous, and aggressive chemicals.

Thanks to its high solids handling capacity, resistance to dry running, and low maintenance requirements, it is widely used in mining, chemical, wastewater treatment, and heavy-duty process applications.

Technical Specifications

Operating Principle

Peristaltic hose pumps operate with an elastomer hose arranged in a circular form inside the pump and a rotor system.

As the rotor rotates, pressure shoes compress the hose and push the fluid forward. As the compression point moves along the hose, a new suction volume is created, ensuring continuous flow.

With this operating principle:

  • resistance to dry running
  • valveless operation
  • low pulsation flow
  • prevention of backflow
  • transfer of high-viscosity and particle-laden fluids

are achieved.

Design & Material

Peristaltic hose pumps are designed with different hose and housing options depending on the chemical structure, particle content, and viscosity of the fluid to be transferred.

Hose Options

  • NR (Natural Rubber)
  • NBR
  • EPDM
  • Hypalon
  • Viton

Housing

  • Cast iron
  • Steel
  • Compact closed housing design

Rotor & Shoes

  • Alloy steel
  • Wear-resistant coating

Lubrication System

  • Glycerin-based special oil
  • Long-life internal lubrication system

 

In pump selection;

  • chemical structure of the fluid,
  • particle content,
  • required pressure,
  • flow rate requirement,
  • hose material compatibility,
  • operating duration,
  • ambient temperature

must be taken into consideration. Incorrect hose selection may cause cracking, flow rate loss, and premature wear.
