Choosing the right peristaltic pump depends on the specific application. Start by defining the required flow rate and dosing accuracy. Next, select the appropriate tubing size and material based on chemical compatibility and sterilization requirements. Consider the number of channels if multiple streams are to be pumped simultaneously. Check whether the application requires low pulsation (more rollers or pulse dampeners). Evaluate the motor type and RPM range for the desired precision. For integration into automated processes, select pumps with Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Modbus RS485 connectivity. Finally, consider the operating modes—flow, volume, time, or programmable—to ensure the pump meets process needs.
