Program and holder codes    

Each set of tubing holders is coded 
so that the machine can recognize 
the installed holder size. Each 
holder can be programmed with up 
to two tubing types with individual 
cutting and welding temperatures 
as well as timing and motion 
control parameters. The programs 
are stored in non-volatile memory 
and will be retained even if power 
is removed. 
 
The LCD will show the hose type 
selected as shown on the left.  
 
Press MODE then right arrow  
and enter the password “264”.  
Press again the right arrow. To 
change the hose type press up or 
down. Press MODE again to go 
back to the welding program.

The BioWelder® is designed to join thermoplastic tubing. Some of the tubing 
brands that have been tested are listed below. The unit cannot be used to join 
silicone tubing or PTFE. 
 

Pharmed®

 

Ideal, very high purity tubing. Can be autoclaved or SIP. 
Long life in peristaltic pumps. The standard BioWelder® is  
optimized for Pharmed® BPT as hose type 1.

 

C-Flex®

 

Advantage of translucency and lower cost. Not as strong as 
Pharmed®. Works fine in the BioWelder® but needs lower blade 
temperature setting. In standard machines is C-Flex® 072, 082 and 
374 set as hose type 2. There are many types of C-Flex® tubing 
and each subtype can be optimized to best performance.

 

Sanipure® 

 

Comparable with C-Flex® but with improved life time in  
peristaltic pumps. Works fine with the BioWelder® but requires  
a low blade temperature setting. On all standard BioWelder® units 
is Sanipure® 60, BDF and AF installed as hose type 3. 

FluiSoft

TM 

AdvantaPure 
AdvantaFlex® 

In standard machine, set as hose type 2 (same than C-Flex®). 

 
We will develop optimal welding programs for different thermoplastic tubing, 
including the joining of dissimilar tubing upon request.

    

 
The Biowelder unit can be programmed with maximum 3 parameter sets. When 
ordered without any mention, the Biowelder comes with C-Flex®, PHARMED® BPT 
and Sanipure® 60. The unit can be ordered with other parameter sets. In that case, 
please specify the parameter sets you want to have in the unit and the ones you 
want to have removed.
