  • StepperMotor Controller - PLC 24V Peristaltic Pump 114ST Watson-Marlow

    Panther stepper motor controller for peristaltic pumps is now configured to work with 24VDC signals.

  • Cat Water Fountains and Peristaltic Pumps

    Problem: 

    Cat fur gets caught up in the impeller type pump in the water fountains and clogs them up and they stop working.  

    Proposed solution: 

    Use peristaltic pump

    First stage: we are planning to detect if the peristaltic pump-head is open or closed using a camera placed in front of the pump.

  • How are peristaltic pumps powered?

    Peristaltic pumps are powered in most applications by an electric motor. It could be:  

    👉stepper motor

    👉brushless motor

    👉brushed motor

    👉AC Induction motor

    We have seen applications where peristaltic pump-head was powered by diesel, petrol  and even water powered motors. 

    In short any device that has a spinning shaft with enough power can power a peristaltic pump. 

  • Dry contact, wet contact and a peristaltic pump!

    The difference between dry and wet contact  is all about the source of the power. 

  • What are peristaltic pumps used for?

    The beauty of a peristaltic pump is that no mechanical parts come in contact with the substance being pumped. The substance pumped stays in the tubing and the pump can run dry for an unlimited amount of time and is self priming.
  • Is a peristaltic pump a stepper motor? 👣 🏍️

    No, stepper motor is a motor commonly used to power (turn) peristaltic pump-heads, but stepper motor is not a peristaltic pump. Peristaltic pump is a type of pump.

  • Peristaltic Pump problems Solved =>Noisy Pump 🔊

    Noise sometimes is welcomed. It indicates that the pump is turning. In most cases  noise is not welcomed for example  next to a hospital bed during night with a patient recovering from an operation. This article focuses on the applications where minimising the noise is the key objective. 

    Spoiler alert: There is still no “perfectly” silent peristaltic pump on the market, if you think there is please let us know.
