PERISTALTIC PUMPS T30 SERIES
• Any contamination of moisture, oils and fats during
the operation, assembly or tube replacing phases
may strongly degrade the pump performances or
compromise its operation.
• The white tube bed is removable to simplify tubing
changes. Using two hands, gently open the two ends
of the tube bed to release it from the pump body.
• The tube can then be withdrawn from the retaining
jaws on the body. With larger tubes, the tubing should
be pinched between two fingers to ease removal
without causing unnecessary stress to the pump body.
• To set fresh tubing, insert one side in the location jaw
before gently wrapping the tube along the tube bed
and drawing the tube through the other jaws.
• Place the tube bed around the tubing and click the
ends of the tube bed over the end of the pump body
• Before using the pump, the occlusion setting should
be adjusted.
• The table shows the correct settings for different sized
tubes.
• It is recommended that when the pump is not used for
an extended period (several days or more), the jaws
on one side of the pump are fully opened to relieve
the compressive load on the tubing and maximise
tube life.
BEFORE STARTING
It is recommended that you read the label on the
pump and check the following information:
• The material of the tubing must be compatible with
the pumped fluid.
• The supply voltage must be consistent with the
motor voltage.
• Pressure at the injection section must be lower or
equal to the nominal working pressure of the pump.
• Check that no occlusions are present into the
circuit. Closed valves may cause tubing breakage
and or pump damage.
WARNINGS
• Any damage to the tube may result in fluid leakage.
Operators must use adequate personal protective
equipment.
• Tubing, being elastic, may expand very quickly if
back-pressure is present leading to leakage at the
fittings if not properly retained.
• Only use Fluid-o-Tech original tubing with TP30

pumps to ensure optimum perfomance. Using non-
original tubes may result in a different performance
or damage the pump by invalidating the applicable
warranties.
• Periodically, check that the pump is working properly
and that the tubing is in good conditions, especially
if aggressive or hazardous fluids are pumped which
may cause damage or risks.
• In case the TP30 pump handles dangerous or
aggressive fluids, before disconnecting it from the
circuit, make sure the fluid contained in it has been
removed or neutralized by using of appropriate
reagents.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Fluid-o-Tech TP30 Series is designed for use
in food, medical, laboratory and general industrial
applications. Before use, it is the responsibility of the
installer to ensure the tube materials are compatible
with the pumped media and that the environment is
suitable for the installation and operation of the product.
Electrical connections should be made by a suitably
qualified person. The power supplied to the pump
motor should be consistent with the design and rating
of the motor supplied. In case of doubt, please refer
to the factory quoting the model number and serial
number.
This pump is not suitable for direct use on human
beings. For food applications the pump needs to be
sterilized by an approved method appropriate to the
intended use. The pump should be mounted in a
well ventilated environment in order to dissipate the
heat produced by the motor. To avoid vibrations of
mechanical parts and noise, it is advisable to mount
the motor with rubber shock-absorbing supports.
Particular care must be taken when connecting
the tube connectors in order to avoid leaks. When
substituting tubing, it is necessary to ensure that the
pump housing and drive are compatible with any
change in specification. Exchanging the tube for a
different capacity or size may damage the system, the
motor and the pump itself. The hydraulic circuit should
be carefully flushed before starting the pump.
WARRANTY
Every new pump is guaranteed to be free of defects
when leaving the factory for a period of 12 months –
excluding tube – from the production date printed on
pump label. Fluid-o-Tech will repair or replace at its
judgement part or all of the product not conforming
to this warranty. Fluid-o-Tech’s responsibility under

The warranty is not recognized if:
• The instructions on how to handle, install or operate
the pump are disregarded.
• The pump has been disassembled or modified by
anyone other than a Fluid-o-Tech (or authorized by
Fluid-o-Tech) engineer or repaired with non original
components.
• Solid extraneous particles are found in the pump
drive mechanism or tube bed.
• Obvious signs of excess pressure are evident.
• The pump has been utilized for an application for
which it was not intended to be used where the
operating conditions and/or the pumped liquid were
incompatible with the pump itself and this application
has not been specifically approved by Fluid-o-Tech.
• Normal wear and tear is not covered by the present
warranty.
The adjustment or replacement of defective parts
made under this warranty will not extend the original
warranty period. The Purchaser/User is responsible for
