Chemical compatibility
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Peristaltic Hose Pump compatible with Caustics/Bases?
Fixes a real hole — lime slurry / calcium hydroxide was missing entirely as a notable_chemical under Caustics/Bases despite being the subject of a LibertyCES case study. The rule is the content, not the pump: for a crystallizing slurry the failure mode is chemistry/mechanics mismatch, not pump strength — 'fewer places for the chemical to sit, dry, crystallize' rather than more force. Measured outcomes: clog shutdowns from ~10/year (4-6 hrs each) to zero, hose life 12+ months, labor savings $3,900-$6,500/year. Mechanism: single roller compressing an engineered hose through 360°, no valves/seals/glands in the fluid path, reversible to clear blockages without disassembly, self-priming. Corroborated by the chart's 316SS-only-G rating on calcium hydroxide and carbonate — a metal-wetted pump is the weaker material choice before crystallization mechanics are even considered. Materials to confirm: Hose: Nitrile, EPDM, natural rubber, CSM/Hypalon, Barb: 316 stainless steel, Hastelloy-C, PVDF, Flowline chart, Calcium Hydroxide saturated @ 40°C/104°F: PVC E, PP E, PVDF E, PFA E, PTFE E, 316SS only G, Flowline chart, Calcium Carbonate saturated: 316SS G at both 40°C and 80°C while all thermoplastics rate E. Specific chemicals include lime slurry, calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), hydrated lime / milk of lime, calcium carbonate (CaCO3).
How do I specify Peristaltic Hose Pump for my application?
Send LibertyCES your fluid, chemistry, concentration, temperature, flow, pressure, and suction conditions for a free spec review of Peristaltic Hose Pump against your actual process data — not a generic catalog match.
Send LibertyCES the process data, not a part number
Fluid, chemistry, concentration, temperature, flow, pressure, suction conditions, current equipment, and drawings if you have them — that's what a real spec review needs to start.
