Peristaltic pump manufacturer: how to clean the silicone hose of peristaltic pump when not in use?

The manufacturer of the peristaltic pump told us that the silicone hose of the peristaltic pump, as one of the three major components of the pump, is a common consumable, but it has been used for a long time. How to clean and maintain it has become a headache for us. Some users often replace it after use, resulting in a great waste. In fact, many hoses are not dirty and can not be used. They can still be used for a period of time through professional cleaning, The specific cleaning method is explained in detail by the manufacturer of peristaltic pump.

First, let's take a look at what the peristaltic pump tube is.

Generally, the raw material of domestic silicone rubber hoses is silicone rubber, which is solidified at high temperature through a closed kneader. During the vulcanization process, white carbon black, carbon black and other additives (which can improve the performance of rubber hoses) are added. According to the technical standards of silicone products in the industry, the products are extruded.

Peristaltic pump manufacturer: how to clean the peristaltic pump hose?

The liquid delivered by different industries is different, so the cleaning method of the hose is different. Generally speaking, high temperature or alcohol can be used for sterilization. Take the food grade peristaltic pump hose as an example. The hose is non-toxic, tasteless, non yellowing, and has high transparency. It will turn black after a long time. In this case, the hose can be cleaned with special detergent until the dirt in the hose leaks out, After cleaning, soak it in boiling water for five minutes, or heat it in a microwave oven at high temperature. Some people may worry that the high temperature will damage the peristaltic pump tube, but there is no need to worry, because the silicone tube has good characteristics of high temperature resistance and cold resistance.

If it is a general industry Squeeze pipe of peristaltic pump In addition, a large number of cases can be directly soaked with disinfectant. Some users said that alcohol may be used, whether it will affect the peristaltic pump hose, causing corrosion and other problems. Some industries even need to use peristaltic pump pipe to transport alcohol. This is about the material of silicone hose. Silicone is a highly active material, It is an amorphous substance (chemical formula: mSiO2 nH2O) after acid reaction in the manufacturing process. It has strong chemical stability, is insoluble in any solvent, and can be sterilized only when the alcohol concentration reaches 70%. Therefore, as long as the certified peristaltic pump pipe standard is met, it will not be damaged by alcohol corrosion. Precautions for cleaning the silicone rubber pipe of peristaltic pump:

1. During the cleaning process, there may be air in the hose of the peristaltic pump, which will prevent the detergent from entering the hose. You can use the peristaltic pump to deliver the detergent for cleaning.

2. If the hose is damaged, it should be replaced in time.

3. There are different cleaning methods for hoses made of special materials. If you are not sure whether the cleaning method is correct, please consult the after-sales engineer.
