Operating instructions Peristaltic Pump IP Series In addition, as the hose has an indeterminate life and due to the possibility of its breakage or deterioration, the user is responsible for the prevention of a possible (although most unlikely) incorporation of particles from the hose into the product being pumped.
DESCRIPTION The IP Series is a positive displacement pump. The process fluid is con- veyed by the rotor squeezing the hose in the direction of flow. No valves are needed for this. This ensures gentle handling of the process fluid.
Operating instructions Peristaltic Pump IP Series TRANSPORT AND STORAGE Transport - The pump is protected by a cardboard packaging. - The packaging materials are recyclable. Storage - The pump should be in a resting position. (The hose should not be compressed).
120* Only available for IP-40 * At max. temperature, the life of hose is drastically reduced. Please contact author- ized realax distributor for high temperature application. Correct installation of the pump 5.2.1 Suction side The pump is to be positioned as near as possible to the liquid container, so that the suction side is kept as short and straight as possible.

Operating instructions Peristaltic Pump IP Series 5.2.2 Discharge side The discharge line is to be kept as straight and short as possible, in or- der to avoid performance reduction. The diameter must correspond to the rated diameter of the pump hose. A larger diameter is recommend- ed in the event of viscose liquids.

Fig 3: Squeezing the hose 1. Hose in normal shape. 2. Insufficient squeezing (back flowing media in the cavity will destroy the hose within a short period of time). 3. Perfect squeezing. 4. Excessive squeezing (increased wear and tear to pump and hose). The shims are fitted in the factory.
