Operation and Maintenance Guide ADPB 25 Plastic Pump Series
Location selection
Pump location must be easily accessible with reasonable
space around for maintenance operations.
Pump dimensional data for each variant is available in
section showing exploded views
Air supply
Compressed air at 90 PSI ( Stroke pumps can take a max
of 125PSI), free from moisture and having an oil mist is
essential. Use of a filter (50 microns), a lubricator and a
regulator is highly recommended and should be installed
as close as possible to the pump inlet.
Ensure correct grade of oil is used in thelubricator bowl.
Too thick oil may slow down the valve shifting mecha-
nism and affect pump performance. See suggested lubri-
cants on page no 5.
Piping
A minimum number of bends and fittings to be used.
A flexible connection between suction, delivery and air
supply piping is highly recommended such that piping
stresses and loads do not transfer to pump housing.
Select piping materials such that chemical compatibility is
maintained with the fluid being pumped.
Suction
Ensure that the suction head after installation is well
within the pumps suction capabilities
Muffler
Use of supplied muffler is recommended to bring pump
operation sounds down to comfortable levels, in case of
hazardous fluids handling, please read section of safety
regarding piping away of exhaust see
Warning: Pump Exhaust) earlier in this manual.
