Introduction
The L/S Precision Variable-Speed Drives control the speed of
MASTERFLEX® Pump Heads to provide flow rates from 0.06 to 3400 mL/min.
The 600 rpm L/S Precision Variable-Speed drives can mount one
(1) MASTERFLEX Pump Head with OHS (open head sensor).
See Installation and Setup for information on Multi-channel operation.
The 100 rpm L/S Precision Variable-Speed drives can mount one
(1) MASTERFLEX Pump Head with OHS (open head sensor).
See Installation and Setup for information on Multi-channel operation.
Advantages of Peristaltic Pumps:
• Handle abrasive slurries and corrosive fluids with minimal wear. Ideal
for titanium dioxide or diatomaceous earth filter aid applications.
• Low maintenance; sealless and valveless design.
• Valveless design prevents clogging.
• Inner surfaces are smooth and easy to clean.
• Contamination free; fluid contacts only the tubing or tube material.
• Suction lift and priming up to 8.8m water column at sea level.
• Low shearing for handling the most shear sensitive of fluids such as
latex or fire fighting foam.
• Capable of running dry and pumping fluids with high quantities of
entrained air, such as black liquor soap.
• High volumetric efficiency allows operation in metering or dosing
applications where high accuracy is required.
• Handles extremely viscous fluids.
• Availability of tubing and tube materials that are suitable for food and
pharmaceutical use.
