  • Publication number: 20240287978
    Abstract: A peristaltic pump having a motor with a motor axis, a cassette with a rotor connected to the motor axis and a plurality of rollers, a tube partially surrounding the rotor between the rollers and a pressure plate mounted to a side wall, a spring between the pressure plate and a cover for applying a force to the pressure plate against the tube, and guiding ribs on an inner surface of the pressure plate facing the tube on both sides. The tube has a first end connected to a first vertical tube connector of a first external connector on one side of the rotor and a second end to a second vertical tube connector of a second external connector on the opposite side of the rotor. The first and second vertical tube connectors are connected to a connecting tube of a bridge providing at least one outlet.
