8. Pump Head Setup and Operation
8.1 Introduction
The Easy-Load and High-Performance Pump Heads are designed to be used with the TFF systems as a simple peristaltic pump
system. The Pump Heads accept different tubing sizes for a wide range of flow rates, and the unique designs and automatic tubing
retention allow for quick tubing changes.

discharge pressure will vary based on tubing size, formulation, and operating temperature. The tables above are only a guide.
8.3 KR2i Installation and Removal
1. If mounting plate is not attached to the pump drive, attach it using the provided four Phillips head screws (see Figure 7).
WARNING: Stop the pump drive before installing or removing the pump head from the drive.
