Peristaltic pump for concrete
A peristaltic pump, also known as a hose pump or tube pump, operates by mechanically compressing a flexible tube to move fluid through it. While peristaltic pumps are widely used in industries such as chemical processing, water treatment, and medical applications due to their ability to handle abrasive, corrosive, or shear-sensitive fluids without contamination, their use in pumping concrete is extremely limited and not common.
A peristaltic pump for concrete operates on the peristaltic principle—using rotating rollers to compress a flexible hose, creating suction to draw in concrete and then forcing it out under pressure.


A peristaltic concrete pump is a specialized tool best suited for pumping abrasive, fiber-reinforced, or coarse concrete mixes over medium distances and heights, particularly in applications where traditional pump valves would clog or wear too quickly. Its valveless design is its key advantage, but it trades off against higher operating costs (hose replacement) and generally lower flow rates/pressures compared to large piston pumps. It’s an excellent solution for specific niche applications in construction and repair.
