Peristaltic Pumps
Manufactured by RolaTec Pump Co.

Changing from one tubing formulation to another takes only seconds and no tools are required. Simply open the hood and place the new tube inside. The pump can be set on its side for these tube changes.

Tubing life is greatly extended by applying synthetic grease over the tubing area that comes in contact with the rollers. We suggest purchasing a 3-oz tube of food-grade synthetic grease with PTFE from McMaster-Carr Supply Co., part #1378K31. Tubing life can also be extended by sliding the tube about 4" so that the rollers contact a different area of the tubing. PhaMed® and Norprene® tubing materials have a longer tubing life than Silicone.
