Longer peristaltic pump drive units can work with a variety of their pump heads.
Each pump head can accept several different tubing sizes.
This may result only in the need to change the pump head or tubing to achieve different flow rates within the application.
There are six main groups of Peristaltic pump heads offered by Longer Pumps:
Easy-load series
Allows for easy load and unloading of the tubing and can also accept several different tubing sizes to provide a wide range of flow rates. Models within the easy load series include:
An OEM peristaltic pump head is a compact, modular pumping unit designed to be integrated into larger systems or instruments. It's ideal for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) needing reliable, low-maintenance fluid transfer in applications like medical devices, analysers, and lab equipment.
These pumps work by compressing flexible tubing with rotating rollers or shoes. As the rollers move, fluid is pushed forward in a smooth, pulseless flow—perfect for sterile or contamination-sensitive applications.
Peristaltic pump heads are self-priming, low-maintenance, and eliminate cross-contamination since the fluid only contacts the tubing. They're compact and easily integrated, making them ideal for analytical and life science devices.
PCT supplies OEM pump heads compatible with a wide range of tubing sizes, allowing for flow rates from microlitres to several hundred millilitres per minute, depending on the application and model.
Yes, most OEM peristaltic pump heads are bi-directional, allowing for reversible flow and functions such as priming, flushing, or dosing back and forth.
Pump heads can be paired with stepper motors, DC motors, or servo motors depending on the application requirements. PCT can supply matched motor options or work with your motor specifications.
Yes. Since the fluid only contacts the tubing, choosing the right tubing material (e.g. PharMed, Tygon, silicone) ensures compatibility with corrosive, sterile, or sensitive fluids.
Absolutely. PCT can assist with custom configurations, including mounting options, motor integration, tubing guides, and application-specific performance tuning.
Yes. We offer both single-channel and multi-channel OEM pump heads. Multi-channel heads are ideal for parallel dosing or sample delivery in compact instrument designs.
Yes. Our team has extensive experience in OEM fluid handling and can support you from initial specification through to final integration, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
