SK165 Peristaltic Pump
Tube pump for analytical instruments and feeding equipment.
View specifications →Peristaltic And Dosing Pumps
Tube Pump
The same tube pump principle supplied for general feeding duty rather than for a specific instrument.
Overview
What This Pump Does
This is the SK165 tube pump supplied as a general purpose unit. Maximum tube size is 4.8 mm and maximum speed is 200 rpm, with tube thickness of 1 mm or 1.6 mm chosen for the duty.
It suits feeding equipment across food processing, laundry, printing, warewashing and car wash machinery, where a small liquid feed is needed and the chemical would attack a conventional pump.

Key Benefits
A Simple Pump For Awkward Liquids
No Valves No Seals
Nothing to gas lock and nothing to leak, because the wetted path is a single length of tube.
Easy To Maintain On Site
A tube change needs no tools and no specialist, which suits equipment in the field.
Handles Gassing Liquids
Gas simply passes along the tube, which is where diaphragm pumps usually stop.
Compact Mounting
A small head that fits inside equipment or on a panel.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
Machine Chemical Feed
Feeding detergent or chemistry into a machine at a set rate.
Food Processing Lines
Metering liquid additives without a pump body in contact with the product.
Print And Coating Equipment
Supplying ink or coating to an application point.
Who It Is For
- Machine builders adding chemical feed
- Service companies maintaining dosing equipment
- Food and print equipment manufacturers
- Plants that want maintenance done by their own staff
Problems It Solves
Service needs a specialist
A tube change is a two minute job for an operator, not a pump rebuild.
The chemical attacks the pump
Compatibility is handled by choosing the tube compound rather than the entire pump.
Small feeds are unreliable
Positive displacement by roller gives a consistent volume per revolution.

Use Guide
Fitting A Tube Pump To Equipment
Select The Tube
Bore for the flow, compound for the chemical. Both matter equally.
Mount Accessibly
Leave room to open the head, because that is where all maintenance happens.
Prime And Check
Run the pump to prime the line and confirm the delivered rate at working speed.
Stock Spare Tubes
Keep at least one spare set per pump so a change never waits on delivery.
Answers
Tube Pump FAQ
What is the maximum tube size?
4.8 mm, with tube thickness of 1 mm or 1.6 mm for selection.
How fast does it run?
Up to 200 rpm. Running slower with a larger tube usually gives longer tube life at the same flow.
Does it need valves?
No. The tube and rollers do everything, which is why there is nothing to gas lock.
Is it suitable for food contact?
Tube choice decides that. State the product and the standard required with the enquiry.
Can I change the flow later?
Yes, by changing tube bore or drive speed.
