SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION: This product is intended for use with a motor that has a maximum speed of 1725 rpm.

Do not use a motor with a higher speed capacity.

DANGER: High voltages exist and are accessible in the Modular Drive. Use extreme caution when

servicing internal components.

WARNINGS: Tubing breakage may result in fluid being sprayed from pump. Use appropriate measures to

protect operator and equipment.
To reduce risk of injury, power must be removed from pump before removing or installing

tubing. Fingers or loose clothing could get caught in drive mechanism. Do not operate this
pump without plastic protective cover assembly properly installed. Rotating parts can cause
serious injury.

To reduce risk of injury, do not pump materials hotter than 150 degrees Fahrenheit, (65.5°C).

WARNING: Risk of electric shock—this pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type

attachment plug. To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a
properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle.

WARNING: Electrical connections and grounding (earthing) must conform to local wiring codes.

WARNING: PRODUCT USE LIMITATION

This product is not designed for, nor intended for use in, patient-connected applications, including, but not limited
to, medical and dental use, and, accordingly, has not been submitted for FDA approval. If drive is used in a manner
not specified in this manual the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

INTRODUCTION

This manual provides information for installing, operating and servicing the following models of Masterflex®B/T

®

RAPID-LOAD®Direct-Drive Variable-Occlusion Peristaltic Pumps and Drives.

MODEL TYPE

07585-30 Pump with variable speed washdown motor and NEMA 4 controller, 115V AC system.
07585-35 Pump with variable speed washdown motor and NEMA 4 controller, 230V AC system.
07585-50 Pump with 5:1 gear head to accommodate NEMA Type 56C frame motors (no motor, no controller).
07585-55 Pump with 5:1 gear head to accommodate an IEC-72, Frame number 71, flange number F130, foot

mounted, 0.37 kW motor (71-14F130) (no motor, no controller).

The unique design of these peristaltic pumps provides a greatly simplified means for rapid loading and changing of
tubing. In addition, the following features are incorporated:

■ Pumps up to 12 GPM.

■ Uses continuous tubing to ensure a sanitary and non-contaminating -system.

■ Fluid contacts only the tubing.

■ Handles wide range of viscosities.

■ Several different size tubing and formulations can be used.

■ 5:1 gear head eliminates need for belt and pulley.

■ Washdown motor and NEMA 4 controller provided on some models.

APPLICATION DATA

The gentle peristaltic action of these pumps is ideal for pumping highly viscous and shear-sensitive liquids. These
pumps are also ideally suited for use where sterile conditions and purity are required. Toxic and hazardous fluids can
be pumped with the proper selection of Masterflex®B/T®tubing since the fluid contacts only the tubing and not the
pump.

WARNING: Tubing breakage may result in fluid being sprayed from pump. Use appropriate measures to

protect operator and equipment.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The RAPID-LOAD®B/T®peristaltic pump (see Figure 1) is mounted on a base and attached to a NEMA 56C frame
motor or IEC-72 71-14F130 frame motor (with foot mountings) through a 5:1 gear head and adapter. Depending on the
model, the motor is either supplied or customer furnished and is attached to the adapter by four bolts and to the base
by an additional four bolts. The controller is mounted on a bracket above the gear head. The bracket and controller can
be removed and hung by two bolts at a location up to 10 ft. away. The controller incorporates a REV-OFF-FWD switch
and a speed control.

Due to its unique design, several different Masterflex®B/T®tubing sizes can be accommodated by this RAPID-LOAD

®

peristaltic pump. The adjusting knob (see Figure 2) allows the user to load tubing quickly and consistently and is used
to set the nominal occlusion (amount of squeeze on the tubing) for each size tubing. The indicator pointer can be
aligned with index marks for the different tube sizes, thus simplifying the setting of nominal occlusion. Occlusion is
adjusted by turning the occlusion ring adjusting knob clockwise to increase occlusion or counterclockwise to decrease
occlusion until the desired performance is obtained. When maximum flow is not required, reduction in the occlusion
can greatly increase tubing life. Increased occlusion provides improved vacuum and pressure performance.

The maximum recommended rotor speed is 350 rpm. A tachometer access port is provided to allow monitoring of
pump rotation speed. The pump rotor can turn either clockwise or counterclockwise. When turning clockwise (FWD)
the top connection is for suction and the bottom connection is for discharge. The 350 rpm speed is obtained from the
standard 1725 rpm fractional horsepower motor through the 5:1 gear reduction. Faster speeds will increase flow, but
will also considerably shorten average tubing life. (We cannot be responsible for pump performance when operated at
speeds higher than 350 rpm.)

If the pump is to be operated with back-pressure on the discharge line greater than 5 PSIG, hose clamps or screw-type
band clamps are recommended on the tubing connections on the discharge side of the pump. Silicone or C-FLEX®tubing,
because of their highly elastic natures, can expand very quickly if back-pressure is present and could create leakage at
the fittings if not securely retained. It is this same elastic nature, however, that makes them such excellent materials for this
peristaltic type pump. Norprene®tubing yields longer life, especially under pressure. Do not attempt to use other materials
in lieu of these, as pump performance could be severely compromised with possible damage to the pump. Refer to Table 1
for tubing recommendations.

INSTALLATION AND SETUP

These units should be placed on a flat surface such as a floor, bench or table and should be near an electrical power
source. Be sure to check data plate for proper voltage rating(s). See Appendix for Model 07585-50 and Model 07585-55
motor mounting instructions.

Note: For those models with a controller, the controller and bracket can be removed and located up to 10 feet away.
Secure the bracket using two bolts inserted through the keyhole slots.
