SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNINGS: Tubing breakage may result in fluid being sprayed from pump. Use appropriate measures to
protect operator and equipment.
The air supply must be disconnected from pump before removing or installing tubing. Fingers
or loose clothing could get caught in drive mechanism. Do not operate this pump without
cover or interlock door properly closed and latched. Rotating parts can cause serious injury.
To reduce risk of injury, do not pump materials hotter than 150 degrees Fahrenheit, (65.5°C).
CAUTION: Do not exceed 321 rpm. Speeds in excess of 321 rpm may cause damage to the unit.
Do not attempt to use other materials in lieu of recommended tubing, as pump performance
could be severly compromised with possible damage to the pump.
Periodically examine bearings and moving parts for excessive wear that can cause overheating of surfaces from friction.
Select tubing for chemical compatibility. Ground or electrically bond containers during fluid
transfer to avoid electrostatic charge buildup that can ignite vapors when discharged. Refer to
NFPA 77.
WARNING: Risk of Ignition. Periodically examine bearings and moving par ts for excessive wear that can
cause overheating of surfaces from friction. Ground or electrically bond containers during
fluid transfer to avoid electrostatic charge buildup that can ignite vapors when discharged.

INTRODUCTION
This manual provides information for installing, operating, and servicing the MASTERFLEX®B/T®RAPID-LOAD
®
Air-Powered Variable 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 10 GPM (37.8 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.
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
PERFECTPOSITION
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 pro-
tect operator and equipment.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The B/T RAPID-LOAD peristaltic pump (see Figure 1) is mounted on a base and attached to a NEMA 56C frame air
motor through a 5.45:1 gear head.
The maximum recommended rotor speed is 321 rpm. The 321 rpm speed is obtained from the standard 3/4 hp air
motor through the 5.45:1 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 321 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®FOOD, PHARMED®BPJ, 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 recommended tubing, 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 or ientation, (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 (See 3 & 4)
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.)
NOTE: Pump will not run unless Door Assembly is closed.
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 321 rpm.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 321 rpm. Speeds in excess of 321 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. (Lock lubrication rate by using snap-action push-pull knob.)

REPLACING ROLLERS
To replace rollers:
1. Using a retaining ring tool (Part Number 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, Replacement Roller Kit 07584-02,
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.
EXPLODED ROLLER SUB-ASSEMBLY
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.
