pump set-up
The pump for the Tote Blast Station will have a source hose that is supplied by the customer and a Alfa Laval supplied discharge
hose to deliver the fluid to the Alfa Laval. Both hoses will attach to the pump via a 1-1/4” flange.
NOTE:
Be sure to remove the plastics caps on the flanges of the pump.
The Tote Blast Station comes with one ¾” diameter by 50’ long hose to run from the pump outlet to the Alfa Laval. This hose will
come preassembled from Alfa Laval with a pump flange and reducer bushing on one end. To install to the pump, first remove the
end caps from the pump’s discharge flange which can be determined by the flow arrow located towards the bottom of the pump.
Then, with the flange gasket in-between the two flanges, install the four flange bolts and nuts (NOTE: DO NOT TIGHTEN). All
four flange bolts must be snug first to ensure that the gasket is not cocked or slipping on one side. Once the bolts are snug and
the gasket is in the proper position, tighten the flange bolts using an alternating star pattern. If the gasket is not installed properly
the gasket may tear and the system will leak fluid. If the system leaks, a replacement flange gasket will be needed.
Repeat the same process for the suction flange of the pump after first installing the source hose to the flange provided by
Alfa Laval. Again be sure that the gasket is properly installed to prevent leakage. Snug all flange bolts and tighten in a star
pattern (same process as discharge side of pump).
