| DESCRIPTION
3 .1 - IDENTIFICATION OF THE PUMP
ALBIN PUMPS are identifiable by the pump plate located on the frame. The plate includes the pump type and serial number of the
pump. This serial number leads to all information concerning building materials, nature of the hose, characteristics of the gearbox
and characteristics of the motor. The gearbox and motor have their own descriptive plate that states the reduction ratio, power,
and electrical voltage.
3 .2 - OPERATION PRINCIPLE
PHASE 1
The pump hose is compressed successively by two rollers
assembled on a rotating wheel. The first roller, by pressing
the walls of the hose, will create a vacuum and attract the
pumped liquid into the hose.
PHASE 2
The pumped liquid has now entered the hose. The
second roller will compress the hose and push the liquid
towards the pump outlet.
PHASE 3
As soon as, at the discharge side, the roller is detached
from the hose, the other roller diametrically opposite is
already in compression thus avoiding an internal product
leakage. The product is then successively sucked and
pushed due to the wheel rotation.
