Pump Achieves High Flow Rates

Nov. 30, 2012
Reversible motor allows users to pump fluids in either direction and easily prime or purge tubing.

The Masterflex B/T fixed-speed pumps offer flow rates up to 42 lpm (11.1 gpm) when used with B/T pump tubing. Their durable construction reportedly ensures a long service life with minimal maintenance. The 746-W (1-hp) reversible motor allows users to pump fluids in either direction and easily prime or purge tubing.

An interlock switch cuts power to the drive when the pump head is opened, enabling quick tubing changes. The redesigned occlusion mechanism slides the tubing bed out of the way, and a retention mechanism holds it in place, for easy tube loading and improved occlusion when the pump head closes.
