Operating Manual

This range of pumps has been designed for
pumping difficult or corrosive fluids and with the

General

1.0

1.1

Pump Limits of Application or Use

1.3

Noise Levels

Depending upon the pumping system and duty
conditions the pump noise levels may vary.
The sound pressure level measurement stated
is given for typical pumps/pump units at
maximum pressures/speeds. The results being
taken on water at ambient temperature:-

Recorded sound pressure level :- 75 dB(A).

Note :- 

Readings taken in accordance with

ISO3746.

1.4

Utility Requirements

Electrical Supply :-

This pump may be supplied bareshaft or coupled
to a drive unit for which a drive unit/electrical
supply will be required.

requirements of hygienic processes.  Typical
areas of application include laboratories, pilot
plants, chemical processing, food processing
electroplating and film processing.

Pressures of up to 7 bar, speeds to 1000rpm
and temperatures to 100°C can be obtained on
this range of pumps depending on type/size.
These conditions cannot always be obtained
simultaneously.  The model type/size will be
shown on the nameplate positioned on the
pump.

The pump/pump unit will have been selected
for the pump users specific application when
known and the pump serial number will relate
to this.

If the user has not specified the pumping
application or needs to change it, it is important
to confirm that the materials of construction
and product seals are compatible with the
pumping application and that adequate NPSH
is available.

For specific guidelines contact your supplier
quoting :- pump model/size, serial number and
system details (e.g. product, pressure, flow
rate).

Where the application requires the pump should
be mounted with ports vertical to ensure self
draining e.g. food media.

1.2

Pump Duty Conditions

The pump should only be used for the duty for
which it has been specified.  The operating
pressure, speed and temperature limits have
been selected at the time of order and MUST
NOT be exceeded for the pump.  These details
are stated on the original documentation and if
not available may be obtained from your supplier
quoting :- pump model and serial number.
