A peristaltic pump is an excellent and widely used choice for wastewater treatment transfer applications, especially when handling challenging fluids like sludge, chemicals, scum, or abrasive/viscous slurries.
Peristaltic pumps are successfully used in thickener discharge for: Gold and silver leach plants (cyanide slurries) Copper and base metal concentrators Iron ore processing Coal tailings management Mineral sands and heavy media recovery
When selecting a peristaltic pump for pumping mortar (a thick, abrasive mixture of cement, sand, and water), the focus must be on abrasion resistance, pressure handling, and durability to manage the challenges of mortar’s viscosity, particle size, and alkaline nature.
Peristaltic pumps are very well-suited for many ceramic slip transfer applications, particularly where gentle handling, ease of maintenance, self-priming, and handling of abrasive slurries are priorities. Their main drawbacks are tubing wear (a consumable cost) and pressure/flow limitations compared to some other pump types (like progressive cavity pumps).
