Founded in 1955 by JC Pemberton in Seattle, Washington, Scanivalve® is the global pioneer in multi-channel pressure and temperature measurement. The company’s origins lie in the development of a mechanical scanning valve that revolutionized wind tunnel data acquisition by multiplexing multiple pressure signals into a single transducer. As the authorised New Zealandn partner, we provide local aerospace, automotive, and power generation facilities with direct access to these state-of-the-art intelligent instrumentation systems, which are essential for critical workflows in the Test and Measurement and industrial sectors across New Zealand and New Zealand.

Scanivalve engineering is defined by its evolution from mechanical multiplexing to high-speed, all-Ethernet electronic scanners. With over 1,500,000 channels delivered worldwide, their systems are the gold standard for high-accuracy, high-density measurement. We support these advanced technologies with factory-trained technical guidance and local support to ensure your facility maintains the highest standards of analytical integrity and technical precision in demanding environments such as wind tunnel and flight testing.

Technical Applications for Masterflex in New Zealand

In New Zealandn research and industrial manufacturing, achieving precise and repeatable flow rates is essential for process integrity. The range of high-performance Peristaltic pumps provides the flexibility required for everything from delicate cell culture media transfer to aggressive chemical dosing. These systems are often integrated into complex Fluid and gas distribution setups where maintaining a sterile or closed-loop environment is a technical priority.

For applications involving accurate volume delivery, Industrial process machinery and equipment and supplies such as specialized Metering pumps ensure consistent performance under varying pressure conditions. To maintain long-term reliability, it is critical to select the correct Laboratory general purpose tubing based on chemical compatibility and required flow dynamics. By combining these modular components with high-accuracy Flowmeters, we help New Zealandn facilities optimize their liquid handling workflows with verified technical precision.

Why Source Masterflex from John Morris Group?

• Contamination-Free Pumping: Fluid only touches the tubing, making these pumps ideal for high-purity applications in pharmaceuticals, food production, and environmental testing.
• Extreme Configuration Flexibility: With over 10,000 possible combinations of drives, heads, and tubing, the system can be tailored to meet exact flow, pressure, and chemical resistance needs.
• Easy-Load Pump Heads: Patented pump head designs allow for rapid tubing changes in seconds, significantly reducing downtime and simplifying routine maintenance.
• High-Precision Digital Drives: Advanced motor control ensures repeatable flow rates and features such as reversible pumping, remote control, and interval dispensing.
• Broad Tubing Selection: We supply a vast range of Masterflex precision-extruded tubing, including PharMed BPT, Tygon, and silicone, each rigorously tested for durability and flow accuracy.

We back this comprehensive fluid handling range with 70 years of experience, providing New Zealandn customers with ISO 9001 certified support and technical guidance for even the most complex pumping challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the correct tubing for my chemical application?
Tubing selection is based on chemical compatibility, temperature range, and the required life of the tubing under specific pump speeds. We provide comprehensive compatibility charts and technical guidance to ensure the materials used will not degrade or leach into your fluid stream.

Can these pumps be used for high-precision dispensing tasks?
Yes, many digital drives are designed with specific dispensing modes that allow for precise volume delivery with high repeatability. These systems are widely used in New Zealandn laboratories for filling vials, preparing media, and accurately dosing reagents in automated workflows.

What maintenance is required for a peristaltic pump system?
Because the fluid never touches the pump hardware, maintenance is primarily limited to periodic tubing replacement and occasional inspection of the pump head rollers. This simplicity makes these systems much more reliable and cost-effective than traditional diaphragm or gear pumps.

Are there portable options available for field-based sampling?
The range includes battery-operated and compact drives specifically designed for environmental sampling and portable field use. These units maintain the same high precision as laboratory models while being robust enough for New Zealandn outdoor conditions.

How does the "Easy-Load" pump head improve laboratory efficiency?
The Easy-Load design features an over-centre lever that opens the head, allowing tubing to be swapped without tools or disassembly. This reduces the time needed to change fluids or replace worn tubing to just a few seconds, minimising process interruptions.

Does John Morris Group provide local support for pump calibration and repair?
We have a network of factory-trained service engineers across New Zealand and New Zealand who provide installation, technical support, and repair services. Our team can also assist with verifying flow rates and performance to ensure your systems remain compliant with local quality standards.
