Introduction
The Diaphragm Pumps of UDOR, with radial
piston kinematic drive, are designed and
manufactured to pump or transfer water or
pesticides and herbicides in water solution
to be used according to the instructions of the
actual producers.
They are generally driven by: electric motors,
endothermic petrol or diesel engines and
hydraulic motors, tractor P.T.O.. Couplings
may be fulfilled by means of transmission
shaft, direct flanging, reduction unit or
multiplier, joints, pulleys and belts.
The Pump is supplied to be installed on
a more complex machine or plant; the
manufacturer of such machine or plant
shall add all the information related to
safety of the assembled machine/plant
fulfilled.
Intended Use
The Diaphragm Pumps of UDOR are designed
for use in machines or systems that transfer
water or pesticides or herbicides, under
pressure, such as the following for example:
Sprayers, Mist Sprayers, Herbicide Spray
Booms, Gardening, Civil and Industrial
Washing Systems, Drain and Pipe Cleaning,
Fire-fighting, Antifreeze Systems.
The temperature of the workplace shall be
between: Min. 0°C (32°F) - Max.45°C (113°F)
The Pump cannot be used submerged under
any type of liquid.
Operational Restriction
The specifications of the liquid to be used
are described in detail herewith: do not use
for different liquids; in particular, it is NOT
possible to use UDOR Pumps in the following
conditions:
- In the presence of water with high salt
content, such as seawater for example.
- In workplaces where there is a corrosive
or explosive atmosphere.
- In the presence of any liquid that is
not compatible with the constructional
material of the Pump.
- To pump paint, solvents, fuel and any
flammable liquid (not suitable for ATEX
workplaces).
- For foodstuffs.
- To wash people, animals, live electrical or
electronic equipment.
- To wash the Pump itself.
General Warnings
- Never start the Pump under pressure.
- Constantly check the state of wear of
the pipes and relevant fittings, especially
those under pressure. Pipes with signs of
abrasion or that do not guarantee a perfect
seal shall be replaced.
- Protect rotating parts with a cover to
prevent contact.
- The Pump is designed to be integrated in
a machine or system, with various supply
systems, which may make the noise
level vary, even quite substantially. The
manufacturer of such machine or system
shall assess the level of noise emitted
by the assembled machine or system
and inform the user appropriately, also
in relation to the use of suitable personal
protection equipment.
Before Start Up
Liquids To Be Pumped
The Pump is designed and manufactured to
transfer water or pesticides and herbicides
in water solution to be used according to the
instructions of the actual producers.
The liquid intake must be free from sand or
other solid particles in suspension.
The liquid intake shall have viscosity and
density similar to water.
The temperature of the liquid to be pumped
must be between 5°C (41°F) and 38°C (100°F).
Any other use is not admitted unless
authorised in writing by the Engineering
