New Masterflex Peristaltic Pumps With Open-Head Sensor Interlock Provides Added Protection For Operators

Masterflex peristaltic pumps with open-head sensor interlock, by Cole-Parmer, adds an extra layer of protection for technicians and operators tasked with tubing changes and routine maintenance. It is ideal for the pharmaceutical industry and other industries using peristaltic pumps. A retrofit system is available for adding this feature to pumps currently installed.

This technology is now available on Masterflex Easy-Load pump heads compatible with all L/S and I/P drives. The extra layer of protection is particularly beneficial to prevent unexpected remote operation—when the pump is connected to a programmable logic controller or supervisory control and data acquisition system—similar to lockout/tagout procedures. Open-head sensors can also safeguard inexperienced or infrequent users of peristaltic pumps from injury while loading or changing tubing.

A retrofit solution is also available to upgrade existing Masterflex peristaltic pumps.
