Variations of Peristaltic Pumps at Kelair
Tube pumps: Lower pressure peristaltic pumps, typically have dry casings and use rollers and use non-reinforced, extruded tubing. This class of pump is sometimes called a "tube pump" or "tubing pump". The pump's rotor compresses and relaxes a flexible tube to generate fluid flow. Tube pumps are used for low pressure applications such as cosmetics and water treatment. They typically have dry casings and use rollers to squeeze the tubing which is how fluids are moved.
When to use Tube Pumps?
Tube pumps are great options for:
- Pumping and dosing chemicals
- Laboratory settings including testing
- Beverage dispensing
- Pharmaceutical production
- Pulping, paper, or as a concrete pump
- Wastewater management
The key Advantages of The Tube Pump are:
- Gentle fluid handling
- Precise metering and dosing
- No contamination risk
- Maintenance is relatively simple
- No valves or seals in contact with fluid
- High viscosity handling
- Compact and portable
Hose Pumps: like tube pumps but designed for higher pressures and flow rates. They use a reinforced, thick-walled hose instead of a thin-walled tube, which is more durable and can withstand higher pressures. For a given inner wall diameter the hoses have much bigger outer wall diameter than tubing for the roller pump. This thicker wall, combined with a stiffer material typically used in the hoses make the forces necessary to occlude the hose much greater than for the tubing. This results in a bigger pump and motor for a given flow rate with the hose pump than the roller pump resulting in more energy to run. Hose pumps have several advantages owing to their unique design and operating principle.

Hose pumps available at Kelair Pumps
At Kelair we stock a wide range wide variety of pumping solutions that can meet all the requirements of our customers. One such brand is Albin.
Albin produces a peristaltic pump designed to transfer fluids with or without particles that can be used in any industry. Be it mining, paint and ink, pulp and paper, resins and adhesives, wastewater, food/sanitary, marine, transport, and chemical processes, they have a pump that can do it all!
Hose pumps from Albin are self-priming pumps, which can run dry without damage and can also be reversed to clear any blockages within the hose. These pumps are suitable for dosing at pressures up to 16 bar or 230 psi.
Peristaltic pumps are commonly used with the following contents:
• highly viscous products
• liquids with high concentrations of solids
• abrasive of highly corrosive products
Albin pumps provide pumping solutions that will help you to produce more efficiently by reducing the costs of maintenance and non-production time.
