Peristaltic pump

Wow as a patient once getting surgery I literally wondered if the unit was sterilized that was pumping my fluids... Thank you!! 🙌✌

[@kindkyle6766]

@@mikethatguy27 yep. The pump is cleaned between uses but no matter what it never actually touches the fluid going in you directly

[@obviousness8113]

@@mikethatguy27 Yes, what Kind Kyle said. The fluid is sterile at manufacture and never touches anything (not even air) until it goes into your vein. Very safe 👍

[@KiemPlant]

That's pretty neat

[@caphunterx2322]

Peristaltic pumps are being used it heart-lung and dialyse machines these pumps can be really precise but most importantly there sterrile since the fluid only contracts the tubing it's easy to replace the tubing without having to fully stiralize the pump

[@mikethatguy27]

Oohh ok awesome , I was wondering what the benefits would be versus other style pumps. Thanks!👍🙌✌

[@spugintrntl]

That makes a lot of sense/is really cool.

[@Kevin-jb2pv]

I believe it's also because the fluid never comes into contact with moving parts that creates any kind of shearing motion which is _very, very_ important when you are pumping blood. You do not ever want blood cells being popped inside of someone. It can cause horrible clotting and a release of electrolytes like potassium, which, you know, when it leaks out of cells can _stop your fucking heart._ This is also why they use potassium _for lethal injections._ "Never ever ever ever ever ever push potassium" - Every teacher in nursing school. ("Push" means directly inject, as in pushing down on the plunger of a syringe while it's hooked up to an IV port.)

[@Agent388]

Thanks for the information, awesome.

[@Smile4theKillCam456]

[@PiefacePete46]

I think having three bearings at 120 degree spacing would give a totally smooth flow. Pretty neat, and the stepper gives complete control. Thanks.

[@moorefilmltd]

The equipment I use that has one is like that. Can confirm smooth flow.

[@evhan]

I'm pretty sure the flow is smooth, but the water is dripping down the open end faster than it gets there. If it went faster, there'd be no interruptions, I think

[@SuperYellowsubmarin]

Look up peristaltic pump guys. Outlet pulsation is a very specific feature of these, flow is not smooth with 2, 3, even 8 rollers.

[@RustyCarnahan]

In the Agricultural world, we call that a squeeze pump for metering fertilizer on the planter.

[@SupraBdub]

Peristaltic pumps are often referred to as metering or dosing pumps.

[@1224chrisng]

peristaltic pumps are also used to move fertilizer from the human body to the commode

[@jan-hg9vi]

I work at a company that has around a hundred of these. Bredel SPX size 15 to 80. Changing the hose, bearing, oil seals, shafts or motors is a weekly thing. They run 24/7. They pump such an even constant flow it's amazing.

[@mikethatguy27]

Just Google'd the SPX80 to see images. I'm in the HVAC trade (small industrial/commercial) and never seen these. Are these used for a specific reason as opposed to turbine style or jetpumps? I would love to break one down.🙌✌

@Robert Daggett awesome! I appreciate you sharing the knowledge.🙌✌

[@TheRainHarvester]

@Robert Daggett How far up from water can the pump be and still prime? Won't that affect the accurate dosing (variable sounds required to prime)?

[@jamesball7381]

I have seen a lot of people commenting where they have encountered these pumps being used. I know of them as part of a sample introduction system for a multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer. These pump the sample dissolved in acid into the plasma torch of the mass spectrometer. They allow us to measure trace element and isotope values with incredible precision.

[@KOTYAR1]

Hard science FTW!

[@umomiekiller]

They use pumps like that during heart surgery to keep the blood pumping

[@dr1verdown]

I worked at an electroplating plant and they would use these to pump concentrated hydrochloric acid to replenish the tanks where they needed to be at a certain concentration. I always knew these kind of pumps as 'acid pumps'

[@gabrielbennett5162]

Back in the 80s, Black & Decker used to sell a hand-cranked version of this called the "Jack Rabbit" for transferring gasoline and other liquids. Handy little thing to have, actually and it worked very well. My dad and my grandfather each had one.

Huh, almost wonder why they don’t still sell them, assuming they don’t anyway

[@gabrielbennett5162]

@@Jess-pe8bq dunno. I haven't seen them for sale in any stores since about the mid-90s. Looks like Black & Decker discontinued them around that time for some reason.

[@joeythefoxxo]

My toad’s misting pump has this type of system as well. It’s nice as the pump doesn’t have to be submerged, it maintains higher pressure, and it’s easier to replace parts.

Fun fact, both the GM and AMC 4.2 I6 (same engine, GM turned the AMC heads into fuel injected rather than carb) use this kind of oil pump

[@mikethatguy27]

Awesome💯🙌✌

[@51farmalla]

No they don't. They use a regular gear style oil pump and GM never used anything from the AMC 4.2L. Chrysler purchased the design in the late 80s after buying AMC and redesigned it into the 4.0L with fuel injection. Which is nearly the same engine design except for the displacement change, intake, slight mods to the head, and engine control unit.

Lots of medical equipment uses this. My dad fixed medical equipment for a living before he retired. I remember him explaining this to me when I was little and I was fully convinced he was making it up to tease me. My mom was an ICU nurse in the same hospital and when she confirmed it, I knew it was real because she never lied to me about stuff like this lol.

[@HercadosP]

Love how everyone in the comment is pointing out examples of the pump be that in a laundry plant, hospital, agriculture or someone's toad tank

This is how IV pumps work! Something that always fascinated me as a child when I was on IV in the hospital. Sometimes the pump was sucking air and I would hand feed it by dragging my finger along the hose myself. Memories.. weird nostalgia lol

Very interesting, my daughter passed away with cancer, not after sympathy, she had an NG tube up her nose for feeding and medicines, we had to use this machine that the hospital trained us to use at home, it used the exact same mechanism only we had settings we could adjust for time and speed of the feed, so this mechanism is also used to feed patients in hospitals or at home and to deliver medicine through it to, good bit of kit

I’m wondering what the relationship between the number of bearings and flow rate is. It feels like adding more bearings pressing on the tubing would make it better, but using a flat circle would obviously do nothing.

[@carlwheezerofsouls3273]

i’m almost positive the flow rate is capped by the motors rotation speed and the size of the tube rather than how many bearings are making contact with the tube, the absolute most ive seen used in a practical design was three bearings in a triangle, id assume that many bearings provides a smoother flow output, and two bearings would be used for slightly intermittent machines like an IV dripper.

Advantage is the fact that the fluid stays within the sterile tube, rather than potentially being contaminated with oil like from a centrifugal or piston pump

Peristalsis is exactly how cows regurgitate their partially digested food to chew it again.

Can learn as much from the comments as from a video

We use these to pump extremely concentrated acid. They can cause problems because if the bearing fail, they don't spin, and the lobes rub on the tube and eventually wear a hole in it - you can guess what happens next.
