• Required Hardware – Mounting a regulating valve,
pressure gauge and automated block valve be-
tween the water supply and the upper jacket port is
required. The supply valve should be adjusted to al-
low the supply of water to exceed pump discharge
pressure. This assures a positive flow of water into
the pump chamber. The block valve should be auto-
mated to open whenever the pump is operated.
• Start Up Requirements – This jacket must be vented
at start up. Additional venting may be required if cool-
ing water supply is interrupted.
3 - External Fluid Cooled -
This option requires an external flow of water like in option
2 above, but is used where dilution of the pumped product
is not desirable. The supply of water is internally isolated
from the pumped media. The water inlet is routed into the
jacket’s lowest port and returned out of the highest port.
This option does NOT allow water to enter the pumped
media and pump must be ordered from factory this way.
• Required Hardware – Mounting a regulating valve,
pressure gauge and automated block valve between
the water supply and the upper jacket port is re-
quired. The supply valve should be adjusted to allow
for a good supply of water to flow through the jacket.
The block valve should be automated to open when-
ever the pump is operated.
• Start Up Requirements – This jacket must be vented
at start up. Additional venting should not be required.
3.3.7. Volute
The volute may be available rubber-coated inside. Some
volutes are supplied with a cleanout port to easily remove
blockages. The pump may be equipped with a stationary
wear ring which can be found in the intake port. This wear
ring determines the gap between the impeller and the in-
take port. If this gap is too big, the performance of the
pump decreases and it can lead to blockages. The rings
can be replaced due to wear.
3.3.8. Impeller
M:
Enclosed single channel impeller, for liquids containing
impurities and sludge with solid particles or long fibres.
K:
Enclosed multi channel impeller, for liquids containing
impurities and sludge with solid particles.
V:
Vortex impeller, for liquids containing a high level of
impurities or fibrous matter and containing gas.
4. Package, Transport, Storage
4.1. Delivery
On arrival, the delivered items must be inspected for dam-
age and a check made that all parts are present. If any
parts are damaged or missing, the transport company or
the manufacturer must be informed on the day of delivery.
Any claim made at a later date will be deemed invalid.
Damage to parts must be noted on the delivery or freight
documentation.
4.2. Transport
Only the appropriate and approved fastening devices,
transportation means and lifting equipment may be used.
These must have sufficient load bearing capacity to en-
sure that the product can be transported safety. If chains
are used they must be secured against slipping.
The personnel must be qualified for the tasks and must
follow all applicable national safety regulations during the
work. The product is delivered by the manufacturer/ship-
ping agency in suitable packaging. This normally precludes
the possibility of damage occurring during transport and
storage.
Never lift the pump by its power cable!
Ne jamais soulever la pompe par son câble d‘alimen-
tation
!
4.3. Storage
Newly supplied products are prepared that they can be
stored for 1 year. The product should be cleaned thorough-
ly before interim storage.
The following should be taken into consideration for
storage:
• Place the product on a firm surface and secure
it against falling over. Submersible mixers and aux-
iliary lifting devices should be stored horizontally,
submersible sewage pumps and submersible motor
pumps should be stored horizontally or vertically. It
should be ensured that they cannot bend if stored
horizontally.
Falling Hazard!
Never leave the pump unsecured!
Risque de chute !
Ne jamais laisser la pompe sans surveillance !
• The product has to be stored in a place free from
vibrations and agitation to avoid damage to the ball
bearings.
• The device should be stored in a dry place with-
out temperature fluctuation.
• The product may not be stored in rooms where
welding work is conducted as the resulting gases and
radiation can damage the elastomer parts and coat-
ings.
• Be careful to not remove or damage the corro-
sion resistant coatings.
• Any suction or pressure connections on products
should be closed tightly before storage to prevent im-
purities.
