Using OEM Services to Create a Custom Peristaltic Pump System (Part 1)

A beverage producer envisions a dispenser that delivers protein and vitamin additives along with a power drink for health clubs.OEM Services helps create the prototype with a custom pump compact enough to fit within the dispenser.

An analytical instrument and reagent manufacturer needs to pull samples for agitation and analysis. She uses multiple pump heads in her system and wants a package that will allow for easy ordering of replacement pump heads. OEM Services creates the package that simplifies the process.

Customized pump systems have enabled manufacturers to pump inks onto electric cable installations, operate high-purity filtration systems for pharmaceutical production and other applications, and meet previously unmet needs in industries ranging from wastewater treatment to biotechnology to bottling to metal finishing.

Why OEM?

Because peristaltic pumps are very clean (only the tubing itself touches the fluid) and offer precise flow rates and dispensing rates, they are often the choice for many fluid dispensing applications. Once buyers have settled on a peristaltic pump as their best option, they assess which type of peristaltic pump would work best for them.

To meet the objective of specialty applications that cannot rely on a traditional, modular, or “off-the-shelf” system, OEM Services steps in to deliver an effective solution. Typical reasons for requesting OEM are:

• These customers require custom attributes to meet their exact requirements from custom design enclosure to specific control firmware to integrate into their control scheme.
• To fit in a compact space or a cleanroom environment, a pump may need to be much smaller or shaped differently.
• If a pump head and motor is all that is needed to work within equipment or a custom component is required, OEM can create the setup.
