6V Peristaltic Pump – 100ML/MIN

As creatures composed mostly of fluids, we Makers often find ourselves working with a wide range of liquids for various applications. From the captivating realm of chemistry to the essential yet less thrilling world of plant care, working with liquids can pose unique challenges, especially when they are corrosive or harmful to handle directly. Nevertheless, there are often instances where we require the use of specific fluids, such as acids in a swimming pool or lubricants in vehicles and machinery. In such situations, modern humans turn to mechanical and electronic solutions to delegate the potentially hazardous work to machines, allowing us to observe from a safe distance.

The 6V Peristaltic Pump is a specialized pump designed for precision rather than high speeds. This remarkable pump can achieve a flow rate of up to 100 milliliters per second. Its peristaltic nature sets it apart, employing a clever roller system that squeezes the fluid through without the need for direct contact between the fluid and the motor parts. Instead, the fluid only interacts with the tubing encased within the motor assembly. This design ensures exceptional precision in both directions, enabling the measurement of precise volumes of fluid for each motor rotation or even half rotation. Consequently, this pump proves invaluable in dosing, testing, and mixing various liquids.

Imagine the possibilities for DIY projects where control and accuracy are paramount. For instance, you could create an automatic plant watering system that delivers precise amounts of water to your plants, ensuring their optimal health. What about an automatic hand sanitizer dispenser that dispenses just the right amount of sanitizer? Additionally, this peristaltic pump could be employed in the construction of an aquarium dosing tool, allowing you to carefully administer specific chemicals or nutrients without harming the delicate aquatic ecosystem. The ability to control precise amounts ensures that the fish, plants, or any other living organisms thrive under ideal conditions.

To unleash the full potential of this peristaltic pump, it is recommended to utilize a microcontroller or motor driver for precise control rather than limiting it to basic "on" or "off" functionality. The simplicity of this pump allows it to be powered by a wide range of motor drivers without much difficulty. So, whether you are embarking on a DIY project to build a sophisticated plant care system, an aquarium automation setup, or even a personalized automatic dispenser, the 6V Peristaltic Pump is the ideal tool to accomplish your goals with precision and control.
