Design and Development of Rotary Peristaltic Pump

This paper presents the design and development of Rotary peristaltic pump. An overview of basic principle, construction, and working of peristaltic pump is provided. Brief literature survey was conducted to check the present status of research work in the design of Peristaltic pump. We considered four concepts for brainstorming and selected one out of four based on the advantages and disadvantages. The theoretical calculations carried out for the flow rate of pump are presented. This prototype consists of Peristaltic pump, coupling and geared variable speed motor. Design calculations, selection of materials and fabrication are carried out by author. As a part of future study, Author will carry out several tests on the pump to know its flow characteristics by using different Viscosity fluids, different diameter rollers keeping tube diameter and other parts of pump unchanged.
