Asthe cylindrical rotor rotatesalong the hose, the processmedium gets pushed forwardthrough the hose. At the same time,the hose behind the compressionpoint reverts to its original circularshape creating a suction effect atthe pump inlet port. As a result, thehose bore gets filled with themedium. No backward flow can occuras the hose is squeezed tight by the roller.TECHNICAL FEATURESEquipped with standard technical features of a typicalperistaltic pump such as dry run capability and selfpriming, the Flowrox hose pumps provide exact flow perrevolution.
