1. GENERAL SECURITY INFORMATION
1.1 APPLICATIONS
The employment of peristaltic pumps to transfer liquids or gases has many advantages:
thanks to its operating principle it is the only pump able to carry fluids without any direct
contact with the product.
A new tube for each product can be employed, avoiding heavy cleaning.
By using a peristaltic pump you can sterilize on-line the vessels connected with the tube
and sterilize the whole system.
The product is gently carried without stress, centrifugations or turbulent actions which
could damage it; this is an additional advantage of this pump.
. The peristaltic pump IPL 10 is designed to be used in a laboratory or for industrial
purposes.
. The tube can be quickly replaced.
. The high rpm motor, coupled with a precise control system, guarantees an uniform
conveyance of the product.
. The speed of the pump IPL 10 is adjustable and it allows a precise control of the
pumped volumes.
. This pump is reversible. The rotation can be freely chosen. Even if the pump can run in
both rotation directions, it is better to use the “clockwise” one.
1.2 SAFETY
The safety –respect for people, environment and materials –mostly depends on the
behaviour of the employees who use the pump.

2. Withdraw the part of the transparent moving-head (2) slightly turning it forward/down
3. Withdraw the old tube (4)
4a. For tubes with plastic fittings: lay the tube in the pumping head hooking it to the
case by mean of its plastic fittings (5)
4b. For bushings without hooks: lay the tube in the pumping head, keeping it in slight
tension at its end, introduce the supplied plastic rider, block the tube and keep it in
slight tension.
5. Insert the part of the moving-head again (2) starting from the side closer to the tube
exit. For the bushings version please remember to always keep the tube in slight tension.
6. Hook the two metal springs (1) to the case firmly blocking all.
PUMPING HEAD IPS100
1. Open the upper mobile part of the head (1) gently pulling it upward
2. Withdraw the old tube
3. Lay the new tube on the roller rotor (2) inside the moving-head, keeping it in slight tension at its
ends
4. Still keeping the tube in slight tension, close the upper part of the moving-head until you hear the
coupling click.
Now the pump is ready for use.
IMPORTANT NOTE: we guarantee its correct functioning only with tubes supplied and approved by us for
quality and measures. NEVER USE TUBES WHICH QUALITY IS NOT SPECIFIC FOR PERISTALITC
PUMPS.
4.2 FUNCTIONING SUGGESTIONS
•In order to avoid too high pressure, suction and delivery tubes have to be as short as possible. Prevent
bottlenecks and limit curves in rigid tubes.
•Employ big diameter tubes at low speed for a longer life tube.
•Employ small diameter tubes at highest possible speed for a better precision.
•When using viscous liquids proceed at low speeds. A high wall thickness tube has a better spring back
and it increases the suction capacity.
•If the chemical resistance of the tube in respect of the product to be pumped is unknown, a practical
test is recommended: weigh a piece of tube (3/4 cm) and soak it in the liquid for at least 24 hours.
Then visually control that the tube is not deformed and weigh it again; a variation of 10% of the weight
is acceptable. Afterwards, test the tube at the normal functioning conditions.

5MAINTENANCE
The performances of the IPL 10 pump can be granted only if all the requested controls,
the extraordinary maintenance and the repairs are made by our authorized staff.
5.1 CLEANING
Use a water and delicate soap solution, with a smooth cloth, without abrasive to clean the
surfaces and the control commands. Avoid to use degreasing or abrasive products, because
they could irreversibly damage the surfaces.
Should the pump become dirty because of chemical products, etc., it will have to be
immediately cleaned in order to avoid their hardening.
Never pour a liquid on the pump during the running or the cleaning!
It is warmly recommended to proceed to an accurate cleaning of the pumping head after a
long running period. Residual particles coming from the normal wear of the tube could
adhere to the rollers, compromising their precise function.
Product residuals have to be regularly removed from the suction and delivery fittings, so
that a correct flow of the product is assured, avoiding bottlenecks.
The motor module and the head bearings do not need any maintenance. Never lubricate
them!
5.2 DISINFECTION/DECONTAMINATION
The plastic case can be decontaminated in case of organic contamination, treating it
externally with a disinfectant solution.
As far as disinfection is concerned, you have to act according to the current legislation.
Contact the manufacturer before using cleaning and disinfecting methods which are
different from the ones indicated in the present manual, because you could damage the
pump.
