This is a peristaltic pump that can be used to move liquid through a tube.

This pump does not work the way a standard pump does as it does not come into direct contact with the liquid that it pumps. A peristaltic pump functions by creating a vacuum inside of the tube, which then draws the liquid into the tube and out the other end. It is capable of moving liquid in either direction simply by reversing the power and the ground leads.

To operate simply apply 12 volts to the two leads located at the bottom of the motor and it will begin to suck fluid from one side and force it to the other. These are great for moving water, will also be sold with food grade tubing, and can be used to dispense your favorite beverage. Since the pump does not come into contact with the fluid it can be used in a wide variety of food based applications.

PWM can also be used to speed up and slow down the flow rate of the liquid.

This pump does not come with food grade tubing by default, but by request it can be added to the order. Be sure to sanitize any tubing you receive before use.
