Choosing the Right Pump Saves Cleaning Costs & WasteDoes Your Product Face These Issues?
Eye Drops / Reagents: Fear of Cross-Contamination?
Essential Oils: Lingering scents in pipes after changeover?
Wrong Pump = Cleaning Nightmare + Poor Accuracy
【Option A】 Peristaltic Pump
Hozun's ChoiceBest For: Biotech, High-Mix Essential Oils, High-Value Liquids
PROS Liquid contacts ONLY the tubing, never the pump mechanism. Changeover takes just 30 seconds (swap the tube). 100% Cross-Contamination Free.
CONS Tubing is a consumable (However, replacement cost is far lower than cleaning labor).
【Option B】 Ceramic / Piston Pump
Best For: Mass Production (Single Product), High Viscosity Pastes
PROS Durable mechanical structure. Ideal for long continuous runs or liquids containing particles.
CONS Extremely hard to clean! Requires disassembling the cylinder, piston, and O-rings. Dead angles pose hygiene risks, and changeover is time-consuming.
Conclusion: For High-Value & High-Hygiene Needs,
Choose "Peristaltic Pump".
