MasoSine will not be liable for consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost profits, loss of time, inconvenience, loss of product pumped, and loss of production.
In compliance with the regulations in your area concerning the control of substances hazardous to health, you are required to declare the substances which have been in contact with product (s) you return to MasoSine or its distributors. Failure to do so will cause delays. Please ensure that you email us this information and receive a RGA (Returned Goods Authorisation) before you despatch the product(s).
Care should be taken after storage to ensure that all parts function correctly. Sinusoidal pumps - an overview The functioning principle of MasoSine pumps is ingeniously simple. The pump consists of modular components. The sinusoidal rotor creates a chamber within the pump body four times per revolution, in which the pumped fluid is displaced.
Dangers when handling the machine The MasoSine pump is built according to state-of-the-art principles and the recognised safety engineering rules. Nevertheless, danger to life and limb of the user or third persons, or impairments to the machine or to other assets, can arise in its use.
Watson-Marlow GmbH MasoSine Division. Replace machine parts which are not in perfect condition immediately. Use only original spare and wearing parts. Parts that are not obtained from MasoSine are not guaranteed to be designed and manufactured in compliance with load and safety requirements.
* These limits may vary, depending on the drive, the application and the rating of the pump. (See your purchase order confirmation, or contact MasoSine and quote your pump’s serial number.) On customer request, higher pressures and temperatures are possible.

Transport Choose the right means of transport according to the size of the pump and the drive. The pump must be suspended correctly for transport. If using a crane or fork-lift truck, the ropes or belts must be sufficiently dimensioned. If the pump is transported with a lift truck or fork-lift truck, note that the unit's centre point is not necessarily the centre of gravity.
Good pump installation practice Place the pump on a level surface The mounting surface should be strong enough to support the pump. There should be sufficient space for maintenance work around the pump. The motor must receive an adequate air supply. The unit must be protected against static charge.

The user must ensure that a pressure rise above the pressure agreed in the purchase order and listed in the technical data sheet is not possible. MasoSine pumps normally run with such a low resonant frequency that no damage results. However, particularly when running with inverters, certain frequencies can cause interference vibrations which must be avoided.
11.3 Cavitation Cavitation is a problem in certain devices where fluid interacts with a moving surface. It can occasionally occur in sinusoidal pumps. Where a surface moves through a fluid, low pressure areas are formed on the surface. The faster the surface moves, the lower the pressure around it can become.
11.4 Possible pump orientations The pump can be positioned in one of eight orientations, and can rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise. 10-02 12-03 02-04 * 03-06 04-08 06-09 08-10 * 09-12 Unless you specify otherwise when ordering, the pump is delivered in position 10-02. Special customised nozzle orientations are possible.
(see diagram). This can be done manually through a side channel of your system’s pipework, or by using a vacuum device where very viscous fluids are to be pumped; contact MasoSine for further information.
Flushing the seal system In order to prevent a dry run and to ensure a proper working sealing system a seal flush is recommended. Flushing fluid at atmospheric pressure—usually water—flushes the area behind the seal system and prevents the product from hardening and damaging the seal system. If a static flushing device is fitted, the flushing fluid fills the area behind the seal.
13.2.1 Fitting the static flushing device The static flushing device can be fitted to a Certa Compact pump with a flush ring or a double mechanical seal. See also "Assembling the pump head" on page 34. The connection with the vent pipe must be connected to the highest flush port. For a 10/2 nozzle orientation this is the flush port located 45°...
CIP process. A velocity of 1.5m/sec (5 ft/sec) is sufficient for most applications. A separate CIP supply pump and a bypass might be necessary if the MasoSine pump cannot supply the required CIP solution velocity.

14.0.2 Steam-in place (SIP) for MasoSine products Steam sterilisation kills micro-organisms through the application of moist heat (saturated steam) under pressure, without disassembling the pump. The heat from steam-in-place (SIP) cleaning processes damages a living cell's essential structures, including the cytoplasmic membrane, rendering the cell no longer viable.
Changing the oil Check the Oil regularly according the Drive Suppliers specifications Heating and cooling option Special versions of MasoSine C100 Compact, C200 Compact, C250 Compact, C300 Compact and C400 Compact pumps can be heated or cooled to maintain the required product temperature within the pump—pumping chocolate or ice...

Disassembly and assembly Use the appropriate torque value (see "Tightening torques" on page 41) Before beginning disassembly, disconnect the pump from the mains power, and secure it against unintentional start-up. 18.0.1 Removing the static flushing device If the flushing device has been fitted, it must be emptied and removed before disassembling the pump. For details, see "Static flushing device"...

18.1.2 Removing the locking screw Use the blocking tool (for part number see section "Sealing System (Pos. X)" on page 53) to lock the rotor and the shaft before opening the locking screw on the rotor. Use one of the cap nuts from the front housing to fasten the blocking tool. Open the locking screw using the socket adapter, turning it counter clockwise (for part code see "Sealing System (Pos.

18.2 Disassembling the seal system 18.2.1 Disassembling the mechanical seal system To make the procedure clearer, on some pictures the middle housing has been removed. This is not necessary for regular maintenance. Removing the seal system Carefully remove the back seal face from the mechanical seal system and store it safely. The seal face with O-ring at the outer diameter, which is installed in the pump housing.

18.2.2 Disassembling the o-ring seal system To make the procedure clearer, on some pictures the middle housing has been removed. This is not necessary for regular maintenance. Removing the seal system Insert the tool (TL-Cxxx-001-50) with the claws into the grooves and turn clockwise by 45°. Using the collar on the tool, pull the O-ring holder out of the rear housing.
18.3 Disassembling the middle housing The middle housing does not need to be disassembled for changing, for example, the Gate or mechanical seal system. It is only explained here for the sake of completeness. Unscrew the nuts which hold the middle housing in place, by turning them counter clockwise. Pull the middle housing off the pump.
Rotate the pump housing on the flange to the orientation position you require. Tighten the screws by turning clockwise. 18.5 Accessing the shim ring to center the rotor Take off the shaft key to access the shim ring. 18.6 Checking the X-Dimension The rotor and locking screw need to be fully tightened using the appropriate torque value (see "Tightening torques"...
18.6.1 X-Dimension tolerances If the X-Dimension is not within the tolerances shown in the table below, take out the rotor and gate, using the instructions in "Disassembling the pump" on page 25 . Peel off as many layers as needed to get the correct X- Dimension.

Fitting the rotor seal system The seal face for fitting in the rotor, together with the rubber cup. Install the rubber cup on the seal face.
The pins need to match the according notches to prevent the part from rotating. Fit the O-ring to the outer diameter of the O-ring holder. For larger pumps, the O-ring can also be inserted into the rear housing. Insert the O-Ring Seal System with the tool (TL-Cxxx-001-50) into the housing. Use the tool to turn the O-ring mount clockwise until the pins on the back noticeably engage in the grooves in the housing and the mount can no longer be turned.
