Abstract
A method and accompanying apparatus dispenses product with a non-invasive linear peristaltic pump. The linear peristaltic pump includes a traction plate having a linear portion, a depressor and a driver. The depressor compresses the product tube between the linear portion and the depressor, such that an inner passage of the product tube is substantially sealed. The driver moves the depressor along the linear portion of the traction plate, such that the product tube located between the depressor and the linear portion is compressed along the linear portion. Product in an inner passage of the product tube is thereby moved or dispensed. Another embodiment may include depressors attached to belts, wherein successive depressors may be driven along the linear portion to dispense or move the product. A method for using a linear peristaltic pump and the use of a controller to dispense product is also provided.
