Watson-Marlow builds peristaltic pumps and fluid handling equipment used across pharmaceutical, biotech, and process industries. Founded in 1956 and based in Falmouth, Cornwall, its peristaltic designs keep the fluid entirely inside the tube, which suits the accurate solution delivery, with reduced contamination risk, that granulation and coating require.

Watson-Marlow Peristaltic Pump
The Watson-Marlow pump in the Techceuticals lab delivers binder solution during granulation and coating suspension during film coating. Trainees calibrate the pump, learn how tubing selection and pump speed determine actual delivery rate, and see how spray rate interacts with drying capacity. Pump calibration is a small step that quietly determines the outcome of a granulation, which is why trainees do it themselves rather than watching.
