Peristaltic Pump
The closed fluid path that characterizes the peristaltic process of this pump assures that sterile product never comes in direct contact with any moving parts before being dispensed. Product passes from the bulk tank directly into sterile medical-grade silicone tubing that is placed onto the circular track of a filling head. A very gentle massaging motion lightly compresses the tubing against a proprietary dual-roller rotor to achieve a smooth, non-pulsing flow. This gentle pumping operation moves and dispenses even the most delicate liquids. A simple change of the sterile tubing and filling needle is all that is required during product changeover.

peristaltic pumping system
This single-use aseptic, peristaltic pumping system utilizes a closed-fluid pathway in which the containment tubing becomes the pump. The closed tubing system and gentle peristaltic motion permit contained cytotoxic liquids to be installed and dispensed within a convenient, easy-to-use, easy-to-change, fully contained fluid pathway. Unlike traditional piston-pump filling operations, in which manual loading and unloading of materials and the required CIP and SIP processes expose users to cytotoxics, this system eliminates the manual measuring and filling of cytotoxic liquids on the filling line, and requires only a change of tubing with no CIP washdown required prior to loading or changeover. By pairing the system within an isolator, a biopharmaceutical manufacturer or contract filler can eliminate physical plant expansion costs, land acquisition, and time delays associated with construction of a dedicated clean room
