A multiple head peristaltic pump is a fluid-handling device that uses several synchronized pump heads to deliver precise and simultaneous dosing or transfer of liquids. Each head operates based on the same principle as a standard peristaltic pump—by compressing flexible tubing with rotating rollers to push fluid forward without direct contact.

Working Principle

The pump consists of multiple heads mounted on a shared motor shaft. As the motor turns, the rollers on each head rotate, squeezing the tubing in a rhythmic pattern. This peristaltic motion propels fluid through the tube in a controlled, pulsation-reduced manner.

Each pump head can:

• Operate in sync for increased total flow rate

• Run independently (in advanced models) for multi-channel dosing with varied speeds or volumes

Advantages

• Multi-channel dosing: Ideal for simultaneous transfer of different liquids or parallel batch processing.

• Cross-contamination-free: Fluids remain enclosed within their respective tubes.

• Easy maintenance: Simply replace tubing—no seals, valves, or complex cleaning.

Applications

Multiple head peristaltic pumps are widely used in:

• Medical and laboratory automation

• Food and beverage dispensing

• Chemical metering and water treatment

• OEM equipment requiring compact, multi-line fluid control

If you're looking for reliable multi-channel peristaltic pumps with customizable flow rates and head configurations, choosing a specialized manufacturer like JIHPump can help ensure long-term performance and ease of integration.
