The product

The peristaltic tube is the only component in contact with the fluid and also the one under the highest mechanical stress.

A peristaltic pump works by cyclically compressing and releasing a flexible tube. Each occlusion cycle squeezes the tube fully against the housing, and each release requires it to recover its circular shape to generate the suction effect. A standard silicone tube subjected to this regime progressively loses elasticity: compression set increases, flow rate drops and the tube eventually collapses.

ISO 8 cleanroom · France

Medical and pharmaceutical peristaltic tubing is extruded in a cleanroom

Medical applications (analysers, dialysis, in-vitro diagnostics) and pharmaceutical applications (active ingredient dosing, bioreactors) require the traceability and freedom from particulate contamination that only a certified cleanroom guarantees. Series 30 is extruded in the ISO 8 cleanroom at Progress Silicones in France (550 m² validated to ISO 14644-1) whenever the application calls for it.

Platinum curing requires no post-cure, eliminating a potential source of contamination and shortening lead times. Every batch is supplied with a certificate of conformity, process parameter records and full raw-material traceability for inclusion in the technical file of the pump or device manufacturer.
