INTRODUCTION
This manual provides information for installing, operating, and servicing the
MASTERFLEX
Occlusion Peristaltic Pump and Drive.
The unique design of the peristaltic pump provides a greatly simplified
means for rapid loading and changing of tubing. In addition, the following
features are incorporated:
• Pumps up to 12 GPM (45 LPM).
• Uses continuous tubing to ensure a sanitary and non-contaminating
system.
• Fluid contacts only the tubing.
• Handles a wide range of viscosities.
• Several different size tubing and formulations can be used.
• 5:1 gear head eliminates need for belt and pulley.
®
B/T® RAPID-LOAD Direct Drive Air-Powered Variable
APPLICATION DATA
The gentle peristaltic action of this pump 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 air motor through a 5:1 gear head.
Due to its unique design, several different MASTERFLEX
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
turns only in a counterclockwise direction. The top connection is for

discharge and the bottom connection is for suction. The 350 rpm speed is
obtained from the standard 3/4 hp air motor through the 5:1 gear head.
Faster speeds increase flow, but 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.
Because of their highly elastic nature, Silicone or C-FLEX® tubing 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 pump.
NORPRENE®, PHARMED®, TYGON®, and TYGON LFL tubing yields
longer life, especially under pressure. Refer to Table 1 for tubing recommendations.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to use other materials in lieu
of these, as pump performance could be
severely compromised with possible damage to the pump.

SETUP AND OPERATION
This unit should be placed on a flat surface such as a floor, bench, or table
and should be near a compressed air source.
Unpack the drive and save packaging material until proper product
operation has been verified.
Install the following components: pressure gauge, pressure filter/regulator and lubricator assembly, pipe nipple, elbow, and muffler. See Figure 1
for proper orientation, (all items and fittings included except as noted). Use
a thread seal such as TEFLON
®
tape for all connections to reduce the
possibility of air leakage.
Load Tubing
Connect compressed air line to the 1/4 NPT (F) connection on the regulator
(fitting not supplied). Turn on compressed air line to start pumping. (Maximum 100 psig inlet.)
Adjust flow rate with adjustment knob on top of regulator. Vary flow rate from
20 psig to 100 psig. At higher pressures, the pump speed may exceed 350 rpm.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 350 rpm. Speeds in excess of
350 rpm may cause damage to unit.
(Lock flow rate by using snap-action push-pull knob on filter regulator.) For
continuous-duty or high-speed application, use of the lubricator is recommended. Adjust the lubricator with the adjustment knob on top. For higher
speeds, set lubricator to provide 1–3 drops/minute. Use a lower setting for
lower speeds. See MAINTENANCE for RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS.

Note: Under some circumstances, tubing may creep into pump. If this
problem occurs, it can be remedied by installing a hose clamp or fitting
immediately upstream of and very close to the inlet port.
INTERCHANGING ROLLERS
For tubing sizes B/T® 86 and B/T® 90, use the smaller rollers with -86 -90
etched into the end faces. For tubing sizes B/T® 88 and B/T® 92, use the
larger rollers with -88 -92 etched into the end faces.
To replace rollers:
1. Using a retaining ring tool, part no. 07585-06, remove the retaining rings
from the ends of the roller axles and slide the rollers off. Take care to
avoid opening the retaining rings too wide.
2. Check to be sure that the wave washers are installed on the axles
against the rotor plate.
3. Slide the new rollers onto the axles, placing the ends with the flush
bearing surface inward toward the rotor plate against the wave washers,
and the etched ends with the recessed bearing surface outward toward
the free ends of the roller axles.
4. Replace the retaining rings. You may have to push the rollers in to
compress the wave washers to allow the retaining rings to engage the
grooves in the axles.

OPERATION
Pump Head
The only operating control on the pump head is the occlusion adjusting knob
(see Figure 4).
1. Rotate thumb-screw (knob lock) counterclockwise to release adjusting
knob.
2. Rotate adjusting knob to align the indicator pointer with the OCCLUSION SETTING arrow for a nominal occlusion setting.
3. For higher pressure and vacuum, turn the adjusting knob further
clockwise.
4. For longer tube life, turn the adjusting knob counterclockwise to reduce
occlusion.
5. For an indirect estimate of flow rate, a tachometer access port (see
Figure 2) has been provided. Use a tachometer to measure rotor speed
in rpm and multiply this by the nominal flow per revolution estimate in
Table 1 to obtain a value of flow rate in mL/min.
(Note: 3785 mL=1 U.S. liquid gallon.)

MAINTENANCE
The air motor is a rotary vane type motor. Lubrication is necessary for the
bearings, shaft seals, and rust prevention.
Excessive moisture in the air line can cause rust formation in the motor and
can cause ice to form in the muffler due to expansion of air through the motor.
Recommended Lubricants
Use a misting type oil rated 50 to 200 SSU (ISO Grade 7 to 46) at 100°F
(38°C). Unscrew the bowl to fill the lubricator. Press up on the bottom drain
to empty bowl.
Cleaning
Keep the drive enclosure clean with mild detergents. Never immerse nor use
excessive fluid.
Drain Operation
The filter/regulator assembly has a manual drain. Check it frequently for
water accumulation. Open drain by pressing up on bottom of bowl.
Troubleshooting
If drive does not operate, disconnect air supply:
a. Check pump head for tubing jam.
b. Check lubricant level.
c. Reconnect air supply and check air supply.
Contact your dealer for further service needs.
