MasoSine Sinusoidal Process Pumps
At Process & Power, we offer MasoSine sinusoidal process pumps for the gentle and efficient transfer of viscous, shear-sensitive and solids-containing products.
MasoSine pumps use a sinusoidal rotor to create smooth, low-pulsation flow. Their gentle pumping action helps preserve product texture, appearance and consistency while providing the suction needed to transfer difficult high-viscosity materials.
How MasoSine Pumps Work
A single sinusoidal rotor creates four evenly sized chambers inside the pump. As the rotor turns, each chamber opens at the inlet, carries the product through the pump and contracts at the discharge.
A gate separates the inlet and outlet sides of the pump. This operating principle produces smooth flow with very little pulsation and fewer product-damaging forces than many conventional positive-displacement pump designs.
Certa and Certa Compact Process Pumps
MasoSine Certa pumps are designed for hygienic food, beverage and process applications. They combine low-shear product handling with strong suction, efficient viscous-fluid transfer and a cleanable pump design.
Certa pumps can handle products such as:
Dairy products and cheese curds
Sauces, soups and dressings
Bakery fillings and dough-related mixtures
Fruit concentrates
Meat and poultry products
Brewing ingredients and yeast
Personal-care products
Other viscous or shear-sensitive materials
The Certa range includes several sizes for different flow, pressure and particle-handling requirements. Certa Compact configurations provide the same sinusoidal pumping principle where installation space is limited.
Certa Plus Process Pumps
Certa Plus pumps are designed for pharmaceutical and biotechnology processes that require high-purity materials, cleanability and gentle product handling.
The Certa Plus design provides low-shear, essentially pulse-free transfer along with a self-draining wet end. Available certifications and material options support hygienic and aseptic process requirements.
SPS Process Pumps
MasoSine SPS pumps are designed for industrial transfer applications involving viscous, sensitive or solids-containing materials. The SPS range combines powerful suction with low-shear pumping and can handle products across a wide viscosity range.
Its simple wet-end design allows routine maintenance to be completed in place without removing the entire pump from the process line.

MasoSine Sinusoidal Pumps FAQ
What is a MasoSine pump?
A MasoSine pump is a positive-displacement process pump that uses a sinusoidal rotor to move fluid through four evenly sized chambers. This creates gentle, low-pulsation flow for viscous, sensitive and solids-containing products.
How is a sinusoidal pump different from a rotary lobe pump?
A sinusoidal pump uses one wave-shaped rotor and a gate to separate the inlet and outlet. Its design can provide lower shear, less pulsation and efficient viscous-product handling compared with many conventional rotary lobe applications.
What is the difference between Certa, Certa Plus and SPS pumps?
Certa pumps are primarily designed for hygienic food, beverage and process applications. Certa Plus is designed for pharmaceutical and biotechnology processes, while SPS pumps support a broad range of industrial applications.
Can MasoSine pumps handle high-viscosity products?
Yes. MasoSine pumps are specifically designed to transfer viscous products. The maximum practical viscosity depends on the pump model, speed, temperature, suction conditions and characteristics of the product.
Can MasoSine pumps handle solids?
Yes. Depending on the model, MasoSine pumps can transfer soft solids while helping preserve their shape and product quality. The required pump size should be selected based on the maximum particle dimensions and concentration.
Are MasoSine pumps suitable for food processing?
Yes. Certa pumps are designed for hygienic food and beverage applications and are available with relevant hygienic certifications and food-contact material compliance. The exact model and configuration should be matched to the plant’s sanitation requirements.
What does low shear mean?
Low shear means the pump transfers the product without subjecting it to excessive mechanical force. This helps preserve the texture, appearance and consistency of products such as cheese curds, fruit pieces, sauces, meats and personal-care products.
Do MasoSine pumps create pulsation?
MasoSine pumps produce smooth flow with very little pulsation. This can reduce the need for pulsation-control equipment and provide more consistent product movement through the process.
Can a MasoSine pump run in both directions?
Yes. MasoSine pumps can operate in either direction. Reversible operation may allow product to be returned to the source or assist with certain process and cleaning procedures.
Are MasoSine pumps easy to maintain?
MasoSine pumps are designed so routine wet-end maintenance can be performed in place. Wear components can be replaced without removing the entire pump from the process line.
Why is my MasoSine pump losing flow or suction?
Reduced performance may result from worn internal components, excessive clearances, suction restrictions, air leaks, incorrect speed, improper rotation or changes in product viscosity and temperature.
Can Process & Power repair and service MasoSine pumps?
Yes. Process & Power provides MasoSine pump troubleshooting, preventative maintenance, repair and application support throughout Memphis, Jackson, Little Rock, Springdale, Tupelo and surrounding Mid-South service areas.
