Hoses for peristaltic pumps

Peristaltic pump hoses are a specific type of hose used in this type of pump. The requirements of the hoses for this type of pumps are very strict. The costs associated with an early failure of such a hose are usually very high. That is why they are facilities normally subject to preventive maintenance and a change of the hose coinciding with the scheduled maintenance stops. The deterioration of the hose can be caused by chemical or mechanical aggressiveness of the pumped fluid, by fatigue of the material before the pumping cycles or by the wear of the outer layer subjected to friction with the rotating elements. They are products whose supply is not easy outside the official channel and the alternatives hardly meet the desirable resistance characteristics. From VULCAX we can offer a customized solution for each application being able to obtain the optimal combination of materials for each requirement. The result is an increase in the life of the hose with the consequent improvement in maintenance costs. The hoses will generally be composed of the optimum rubber for each specific application.
