installed before the pump and after the separator outlet. These are not provided as a
standard option by Amiad, but are available if a valve kit is ordered. Loosen the nuts
or threaded stud and remove the lid. Remove the basket and clean. Inspect the '0'
ring or gasket and, if damaged, replace. Replace the lid and tighten the nuts.
B. Pump and Motor
Make sure that there are no leaks in the pump housing. If leaks occur at the back of
the volute casing, you may have a damaged the seal (pump seals are not covered
under warranty) and/or loose bolts. Replace and/or tighten as necessary.
Whenever maintenance or repair is needed for the pump, SHUT-OFF and LOCK-OUT
power into the panel feeding the pump; close the suction and discharge valves, open
drain plug/valve, making sure no air or hydraulic pressure is in the system before
unhooking the pump. Refer to Pump Manual.
Outside air is very important to cool the motor. The TEFC motor has a fan in the back.
Ensure that the fan is rotating when motor is energized. Zerk fittings were installed in
the front and back of the pump shaft/bearing housing. A small amount of grease might
be needed periodically to replenish the old grease in the housing. Whenever new
grease is injected, the old grease will ooze out on the opposite side and wipe clean.
Please see pump and motor manufactures IOM for additional details.
C. Control Panel
See control panel IOM in this manual for details.
D. Periodically check pressure gauges for proper readings. Verify operation by opening
and closing servicing valve installed prior to gauge. Stuck needles or damaged gauges
will need to be replaced.
E. BGFS (Solids Recovery)
These bag filters are in place to recover separated solids from the system from the
purge outlet of the ICS Separator.
Collected solids will need to be periodically removed from the BGFS. The bags can be
used over if clean up to 4-5 times before discarded. The change out of the bags can
be performed without disruption to the filtering process of the system.
The BGFS uses a differential pressure gauge/switch or gauges. The DP gauge will
have a red zone when need to change, gauges will indicate that the filter meets a 12
PSI differential and bag needs to be changed. The electrical contact with the DP
switch gives the ability for remote indication.
Steps for changing/maintenance/operation:
1. Close the manual valve on the purge line from the ICS Separator.
2. Close the valve on the line from the BGFS to pump suction. It is important to only
close this valve after pressure is released.
3. Open the lid on the vessel.
4. Remove the bag retainer from the vessel with the bag filter.
