Peristaltic pumps are a popular choice for a wide range of fluid handling applications due to their simple and reliable design. The pump works by squeezing a flexible tube, which creates a vacuum and draws fluid into the pump. As the pump rollers continue to move, the tube is squeezed, and the fluid is forced out of the pump. The tube is then allowed to refill with fluid, and the process starts again. The tube is the only part of the pump that comes into contact with the fluid being pumped, making it a critical component in the performance of the pump.
