1 General
The operating instructions apply for the Watson-Marlow MasoSine:
EC 25 / EC 40 / EC 60
The operating instructions must be read before installing the pumps. Please observe the safety instructions and the safety
regulations.
2 Purpose
The purpose of your pump is defined exactly in the delivery note. The warranty becomes null and void following any changes to
the purpose, including changes to components and materials.
Always consult the manufacturer before any changes are to be made to the pump, its components or application.
3 Functioning principle
The functioning principle of the Watson-Marlow MasoSine Pump is ingeniously simple. The pump consists of modular
components to allow for easy assembly, disassembly and in-line maintenance, preventing the need to return the pump for
factory repair. The MASO-Sine pump’s exclusive sinusoidal rotor creates four symmetrical pumping chambers that draw product
through the pump. As product is drawn through in a continuous flow, it encounters the scrapergate and is discharged by product
flowing behind it creating a continuos pulse-free laminar flow. The MASO-Sine pump’s large pumping chambers maintain
constant volumetric displacement throughout the entire pumping cycle that eliminates product compression and minimizes
damage to large particles.
