Spectrochem instruments manufactures wide variety of special accessories and instruments useful for applications in analytical chemistry, medical and biotechnology, lab and process automation, environmental engineering, etc. The spectrochem peristaltic pumps are suitable for handling of fluids in food processing, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology needed in contamination free systems. Transferring and transportation of samples and standards to various equipment in analytical chemistry, need contamination free pumping systems. The regular centrifugal pumps are not able in pumping shear sensitive fluids such as curd, yoghurt, blood and blood plasma products. For such applications the centrifugal pumps with chopping action is not recommended and another major problem with this pump is that the pump head is the source of contamination. The peristaltic pumps can overcome these problems, as they are able in pumping various fluids as 10,000 centi pose units. The pump tube of these peristaltic pump only comes in contact with the medium to be pumped and by selecting the right tube material varied range of pumping requirements can be met. These peristaltic pumps cater to a number of applications due to salient features like contamination free pumping, positive displacement, no priming and metered dispensing. The pumps find usage in handling wide range of fluids from hot water to molasses; preservative addition, dosing yeast, vinegar, starch, brine, sugar solution, biscuit manufacturing, cereals industry, chocolate industry, etc. The peristaltic pumps are available with fda approved tubing that can meet the requirements in the food industry.
