Analysis and solutions for abnormal shutdown of peristaltic pump

Analysis and solutions for abnormal shutdown of peristaltic pump

First, the possible reasons for the shutdown of the peristaltic pump

1. Improper use environment

The operating environment of a peristaltic pump is very important to its normal operation. If the use environment is too humid, high temperature, high pressure, etc., it may cause the peristaltic pump to shut down abnormally.

2. Pump tube material problem

Pump tube materials can be divided into two types: flexible tubes and hard tubes. Flexible tubes are prone to problems such as aging and cracks, while hard tubes may be deformed. Problems with the material of the pump tube will greatly affect the working efficiency of the peristaltic pump and even cause it to shut down abnormally.

3. Abnormal fluid properties

Peristaltic pumps are mainly suitable for transporting low-viscosity, less corrosive liquids or gases. If the transported fluid is destructive or has too high viscosity, it will cause the peristaltic pump to shut down abnormally.

4. Accessories worn

The accessories in the peristaltic pump may also be worn or aged, such as the transmission wheel, rotor, etc. These problems can cause the peristaltic pump to make excessive noise or even fail to work properly.

5. Power failure

Power failure is one of the common problems of peristaltic pump shutdown. When problems such as overload and unstable voltage occur in the power supply, it will directly affect the normal operation of the peristaltic pump, causing it to shut down abnormally.

Second, the solution to the abnormal shutdown of the peristaltic pump

1. Pay attention to the usage environment

When using a peristaltic pump, you should try to avoid excessive moisture, high temperature, high pressure, etc. to ensure a good use environment.

2. Replace pump tube regularly

The pump tube is prone to problems such as aging and cracks. It should be replaced within the specified time to ensure that the material of the pump tube is normal to ensure the long-term stable operation of the peristaltic pump.

3. Choose the right fluid

When using a peristaltic pump, select the appropriate pump head or pump tube according to different fluid properties. And pay attention to keep the fluid clean and clean it regularly to prevent it from affecting the normal operation of the pump.

4. Maintenance

The accessories of peristaltic pumps, such as transmission wheels and rotors, also need to be checked regularly to determine whether they need to be replaced to avoid abnormal shutdown caused by wear and tear of accessories.

5. Check the power supply regularly

Check whether the power supply of the peristaltic pump is normal and perform regular maintenance to ensure the stable operation of the power supply. If necessary, a regulated power supply can be used to ensure normal power supply for the peristaltic pump.
