A 12V, 5000RPM peristaltic dosing pump is an advanced component designed for precise liquid dosing applications in industries such as agriculture, water treatment, pharmaceuticals, and laboratory research.
Featuring a durable stainless-steel housing, it ensures longevity and resistance to corrosive environments.
The pump operates using peristaltic action, moving liquid between two rollers while keeping mechanical components away from the fluid.
With adjustable flow rates of up to 5 liters per hour (1.3 gallons per hour), it can be tailored to meet different dosing requirements.
Its consistent and accurate dosing capability ensures reliable operation by maintaining an exact dosage rate for optimal system performance. Operating within a wide voltage range of 10–14V DC, it offers versatility for various applications.
Features:
- Runs on a 12-volt DC power supply.
- Rotates at 5000 rotations per minute to provide proper dosing.
- A peristaltic mechanism is used to provide accurate and gentle liquid transfer.
- The pump component that houses the rollers and tube for liquid transmission.
- It can be changed to regulate the flow rate of the liquid.
- Provides a smooth, pulsation-free flow.
- Suitable for handling a wide range of chemicals and liquids.

Maintenance & Cleaning Instructions
-
Power off and disconnect: Always switch off the power supply and unplug the pump before performing any maintenance.
-
Inspect tubing: Regularly check the tubing for cracks, discoloration, or wear. Replace it if any damage is found to ensure accurate dosing.
-
Clean the pump head: Remove the pump head and tubing, rinse the rollers and inner housing with clean water, and ensure there is no residue buildup.
-
Flush tubing after use: After dosing, flush the tubing with a suitable cleaning solution followed by distilled water to prevent clogging or deposits.
-
Check rollers and bearings: Inspect the rollers and internal bearings for smooth operation. Replace worn components if necessary.
-
Ensure proper tube seating: When reinstalling the tube, ensure it is correctly aligned without twists or kinks to maintain proper pressure and flow.
-
Use correct voltage: Operate the pump at its rated 12V to prevent overheating or reduced motor life.
-
Clean the motor area: Keep the motor housing dust-free and ensure good ventilation. Avoid exposure to moisture.
-
Periodic calibration: Measure and adjust the pump output regularly to maintain consistent flow accuracy.
-
Proper storage: If not in use for a long time, clean, dry, and store the pump in a cool, dust-free environment.
Safety Tips for Using the Dosing Pump
- Always wear protective gloves and goggles when handling chemicals.
- Use the pump in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes.
- Only use food-grade tubing and components for consumable liquids.
- Clean and sanitize the pump before switching between liquids.
- Ensure the liquids are compatible with the pump materials to prevent damage.
- Store chemicals and food-grade liquids separately in properly labeled containers.
