What are Peristaltic Pumps?

The basic principle of the peristaltic pumps traces back to human “peristalsis”. A term referring to the alternating contraction and relaxation of muscles around a tube to force the contents through it. An elastomeric tube is squeezed along a length by rollers that push the fluid contained within. The tube’s restitution after squeezing produces a
