A peristaltic pump, also called a hose pump, moves liquid by squeezing a flexible hose with rollers or shoes, so the liquid touches only the inside of the hose. Power Energy supplies peristaltic pumps in Saudi Arabia and the GCC for abrasive, corrosive, viscous and shear-sensitive liquids. Tell us the fluid, flow rate and pressure and we will recommend a suitable model.
How a Peristaltic Pump Works
Rollers or shoes on a rotating head compress the hose against a track. The squeezed point pushes the liquid forward, and the hose springs back and draws in more liquid behind it. There are no valves, seals or glands in contact with the liquid.
Why Choose a Peristaltic Pump
- The liquid touches only the hose, which protects both the liquid and the pump
- No seals or valves to leak, clog or wear
- Self-priming and able to run dry without damage
- Handles abrasive, corrosive and viscous liquids, and liquids with solids
- Can run in either direction and can be used for accurate dosing
Where Peristaltic Pumps Are Used
- Chemical and polymer dosing
- Sludge, lime and slurry transfer
- Water and wastewater treatment
- Food, beverage and pharmaceutical products
Maintenance
The hose is the wear part and is replaced on a planned schedule. Because there are no seals or valves, maintenance is simple and quick.

What We Need to Recommend a Pump
- The fluid, its viscosity and temperature
- Flow rate and discharge pressure
- Solids content and abrasiveness
- Suction conditions and installation (indoor, outdoor, hazardous area)
- Duty cycle and any project or client specification

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a peristaltic pump?
A peristaltic pump is a positive displacement pump that moves liquid by squeezing a flexible hose with rollers or shoes. The liquid touches only the hose.
What are peristaltic pumps used for?
They are used for dosing chemicals and polymers, moving sludge and slurry, and handling abrasive, corrosive, viscous or shear-sensitive liquids in industry, water treatment and food production.
Can a peristaltic pump run dry?
Yes. A peristaltic pump is self-priming and can run dry without damage to the pump, although the hose should not be run dry for long periods.
What needs maintenance on a peristaltic pump?
The hose is the main wear part and is replaced on a planned schedule. There are no seals or valves in the liquid path.
How do I choose a peristaltic pump in Saudi Arabia?
Send us the fluid, flow rate, discharge pressure, temperature and duty. We recommend a suitable model and support installation and troubleshooting.
