Commissioning
5.1
Preparing commissioning
Warning!
Risk of injuries through rotating machine parts or from liquids escaping under
high pressure.
Potential consequences: Severe or fatal injuries.
•
Do not perform any work with the pump running!
•
Only let qualified personnel perform commissioning.
5.1.1 Pump
Clean the pump prior to initial commissioning.
5.1.2 Sealing system
1.
Check the shaft seal (version
→
data sheet).
2.
Oil level in the pump gearbox checked?
3.
Auxiliary systems (quench supply of the seals) connected?
Possible damage to property
•
Pressurise double-acting mechanical seals using the counter-pressure system.
•
Operation without quench medium can destroy the seal.
5.1.3 Pumps for handling foodstuffs
Deploying
ViscoTwin
pumps for handling foodstuffs make sure that they are clean before
commissioning and each production cycle. Cleaning can be carried out as follows:
•
Basically by disassembling the pump and manual cleaning of the component parts using
the detergents required for that purpose (hand cleaning).
•
By the so-called C.I.P. - Cleaning (Cleaning in Place) or S.I.P. (Sterilisation in Place),
flushing using appropriate cleaning agents, provided the cleaning method is permissible
for this medium.
A clean in place treatment on the pump should be executed at the following times:
•
When the pump is first commissioned for use
•
When any spare components are fitted into the wetted area of the Pumpenfabrik Wangen
•
After operations, i.e. before a fairly long idleness of the pump
•
After long idleness, before re-operation
With the CIP cleaning process completed, subsequent to initial commissioning, first cleaning cycles,
corresponding periods, and any modifications on the system, cleaning process or detergent, the
cleaning efficiency has to be inspected (i.e. whether the pump is really clean) by disassembling the
pump.
The operator is responsible for securing the cleaning success. The manufacturer cannot assume
any warranty for the cleaning success and does not accept any liability for consequential damage.
