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 overheat-
			ing 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.
WA R N I N G :			Risk of Ignition. Periodically examine bearings and moving parts 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.
			Explanation of Symbols
CAUTION:			Risk of Danger. Consult Operator’s manual for nature of hazard and corrective actions.
CAUTION:			Risk of crushing. Keep fingers away from rotor while pump is in operation. Stop pump before
			loading or unloading tubing.
CAUTION:			Hot Surface. Do not touch.

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 protect 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.
