Several Major Causes of Peristaltic Hoses Life Shortening

1. Service time of silicone tube

Generally speaking, the service life of silicone tube in normal environment is 100-200 hours. Due to different materials, the service time is generally 2000-10000 hours. You can compare this time with the service time.

2. Several major causes of peristaltic hoses life shortening

Peristaltic pump hose is a container carrying the liquid transmitted by dispensing peristaltic pump, which will be wear and tear in the process of use, so the peristaltic hoses belong to the consumables of peristaltic pump. In the process of using peristaltic pump, if you find that the hose of peristaltic pump has worn, do not need to worry too much. This is a normal phenomenon. But when the consumption of the hose is too fast, we need to consider whether we have problems in the using process, which leads to the shortening of the life of the flexible silicone tubing.

(1) Improper selection of peristaltic hoses

The liquid in the peristaltic pump hose will react with our hose, resulting in the change of our hose material. In this case, we must consult the information and find the hose suitable for our fluid to be transmitted.

(2) The part of the peristaltic pump hose inside the pump is too long

In this case, the damage to the peristaltic hose is severe and the speed is very fast. If we open the pump, and see the hose slag inside, it is likely caused by this. When installing the hose, you need to straighten the hose before you put it into the pump. After that, you'd better add a small clip outside.

(3) Caused by runner crushed, high rotation rate or impurities outside the hose

In this case, we have to adjust according to the corresponding situation, check the runner, reduce the speed and clean the surface.
