I don’t get how this pump configuration works. Would it not just clamp down on the hose and drag it and jam (clearly not but...)pic.twitter.com/CZHFPaiUoQ

A peristaltic pump? There are usually rollers or some other friction-reducing devices at the contact points. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peristaltic_pump …
Looks like that one uses lubricant instead. I guess the surfaces are engineered to be low friction. http://www.watson-marlow.com/Documents/knowledge-hub/Manuals/us%20-%20USA/Bredel/m-bredel%2010_20-us-03.pdf …

oh interesting PDF... yep looks like it. I wonder what the advantage of that is... feels like it would give less flexibility in terms of tube materials etc...

These are used in the paint pod And large ones are used in farms to move corn etc from hopper to hopper or hopper to truck There also used in water pump stations There more resilient then they look The image you have uses friction movement others have 2 wheels for less wear
