Sanitary rotary syphon

[peterpiper]

These rotary syphon pumps look a neat idea.

Hand crank operates the planetary gear pump, then a half turn starts or stops syphon flow. And it's just a (removeable) silicone tube to clean, which sounds much better than the other auto-syphons I've seen.
Just not sure, what diameter silicon tube it uses, or would fit.

But, is anywhere selling them to the UK, at the moment?
The BrewEngineering etsy shop, where there's also a video, seems on long term holiday.

I would refer to that as a peristaltic pump if that helps with finding one? But they are typically used for controlled dosage not bulk transfer.

If it's a siphon pump, it'll just be used to prime the siphon, not necessarily do a bulk transfer. Presumably once gravity takes over the siphon, you can stop pumping

It also looks like the kind of thing it would be easy to 3d print if you have a printer

Oh I see what you mean, just to start a siphon. Couldn’t you just use a big syringe?

Genius! Was looking for a project for Christmas!
