Highly Accurate Dosing With Peristaltic Metering Pumps

Whether this is dosing chemicals for water treatment or ingredients and additives in a food, cosmetics or manufacturing production line, Castle Pumps have a peristaltic metering pump solution for you. Our range of peristaltic dosing pumps benefit from a smooth operation and lower flow rates to ensure accurate metering of even the smallest volume of fluids and to be able to deliver a quantity of the liquid at controlled intervals precisely. Within the range we offer models such as the AMP-control which has integrated control functionality and variable frequency drive to allow automation, accuracy and efficiency when it comes to metering in set batches. Thanks to the internal hose being available in various materials, peristaltic pumps are compatible with a wide range of fluids and can be used for different industrial applications, including dosing paint, ink, dye and chemicals. If this sounds like what you need, contact our pump experts who will talk you through their model selection for your dosing process.

FAQs

Peristaltic pumps are part of the rotary positive displacement pump family. They are made up of just two components; a rotor that has a number of rollers or a "shoe" attached and a flexible internal hose/tube fitted inside a circular pump casing. As the rotor turns, the attached rollers compress the tube where the fluid is contained, and that continuous motion forces the liquid from the pump's inlet to its outlet.

The beauty of the peristaltic pump design it it's single wearing part; the inner hose. Whilst other pumps have seals, impellers, bearings, gaskets and coupling bushes to maintain over time, peristaltic pumps only have to replace the inner hose. This combine with the absence of a mechanical seal means that they can also run dry indefinitely without risk of damage.

Ensuring compatibility with the fluid being pumped is a vital part of peristaltic pump specification to avoid swelling, erosion and even melting of the inner hose. Our Boyser peristaltic pumps are available with Natural Rubber, NBR, EPDM, Norprene, Tygon and Hypalon hoses. Upon disclosure of the fluid you are handling we will establish the best solution.

One of the great features of the peristaltic design is its ability to run dry without damage. This can give peace of mind when being used unmanned or to empty a tank or container.

Metering pumps are typically used to accurately delivery ingredients, additives and chemicals in food, process and water treatment industries.

A dosing pump, otherwise known as a metering pump, is designed to very precisely deliver a specific quanitity of fluid to a container, tank or fluid stream at controlled intervals.

Dosing pumps are able to provide precise metering through their smooth, pulsation free operation and ability to achieve extremely low flow rates whilst maintaining accuracy.
