Watson-Marlow SPS 600 - Manual (Page 5)

Revision 4.1 / March 2014 5
1 General
The operating instructions apply for the Watson-Marlow MasoSine Pump :
SPS 600
The operating instructions must be read before installing the pump. Please observe the safety instructions and the safety regulations.
2 Purpose
The purpose of your pump is defined exactly in the delivery note. The ATEX certification becomes null and void following any changes
to the purpose, including changes to components and materials. This is why you should always consult the manufacturer first!
3 Functioning principle
The functioning principle of the Watson-Marlow MasoSine is ingeniously simple. The pump consists of modular components. Because
of the sinusoidal form of the rotor, a chamber through which the product to be pumped is „pushed through“ or displaced is created four
times per revolution when running through the stator space.
As soon as a chamber closes, the opposite chamber opens by the same fraction of a millimeter as the closing chamber is contracted.
A suction and pressure characteristic of the pump free of pulsation results. The scraper prevents the pressure compensation of the
pressure to the suction side. At the same time the scraper undertakes the important function of forced lubrication of the pump bearings,
or when the pump is cleaned the intensive purging of the bearing or of the seal.
