Damage to the pump due to hardening, crystallising media
- The pump must be cleaned prior to long downtimes if products are
conveyed that harden or crystallise, or contain solids, or that may
corrode the pump material due to their chemical or physical
properties.
- The definition of a long downtime depends on the previously
conveyed medium and its change of state from liquid to solid.
- The definition is the responsibility of the operating company and
should be adhered to in any case in order to prevent damage to the
pump.
1.
Clean the pump only with a suitable cleaning agent,
depending on the pump material and the conveyed medium.
Water or solvents may be suitable.
Liquid and solid cleaning agents must not be used at temperatures
exceeding 65 °C / 149°F.
2.
Connect the suction line connection to the cleaning agent.
3. Connect the medium outlet to a suitable container.
4. Pump the cleaning agent until all residues from the pump have
been released.
5.
Completely empty the pump.
6. For this, pull the suction hose far enough out of the cleaning
agent to enable air to be taken in.
7.
Completely disconnect the medium outlets of the pump when
no more cleaning agent is leaking at the outlet.
8.
To empty completely, swivel the pump by 90°, so that the media
connections face downwards.
Note
It is necessary to completely empty the pump prior to
decommissioning and putting into storage, as the
cleaning fluid may possibly accelerate the ageing of the
pump diaphragm.
9.
Operate the pump at an air pressure of approx. 1 bar / 14.5 psi
10. In doing so, move the pump slightly to and fro until the residual
quantity in the pump has fully drained out.
11. Clean the external parts of the pump.
