SAFETY AND CONTROL MEASURES TO RESPECT IMPERATIVELY
1 - Mechanical risk
Ensure that all protections (cover, sight glass, ventilator hood, coupling protection) are in place
before operating the pump. Disconnect the electricity supply before any mechanical intervention,
except during a hose replacement. Hose replacement must be done with the pump cover closed.
While replacing a hose, wear protective gloves and clothes and keep hands away from the brackets,
suction and discharge flanges.
During the pump maintenance, check that the lifting points are correctly used.
The frame of the pump must be firmly fastened to the ground.
2 - Electrical risk
Ensure that the electrical installation is conforming to the standards required in the country of use
especially regarding earth and thermal protection.
3 - Operational risk
Check the compatibility of the products to be pumped with:
- The peristaltic pump principle.
- The hose material.
- The inserts material.
- The shoe material.
ALBIN PUMP cannot guaranty the hose lifetime or the product loss due to a hose burst. It is the
operator’s responsibility to prevent pumped liquid loss with additional hose rupture detectors and or
automatic shutdown valves. Check §2.4 conditions of guarantee for further information.
Ensure that the pump is compatible with the required process. Ensure that the pressure applied on
the suction side is compatible with the pump. The rupture of the hose and its consequences must
be taken in account:
- The pump casing can be filled with the pumped product.
- If the suction line is on load, this one can empty into the pump casing and leak out of the pump.
- If the discharge line is under pressure, the pumped product may be forced back into the pump
casing and leak out of the pump.
A leakage detector as well as automatic shutdown valves are recommended in order to prevent
such consequences. While draining the pump following a hose rupture, take note of the risk of
pollution caused by the pumped product.
The pump, being volumetric, may suffer dangerously high pressure by even partial blockage of the
discharge line. Ensure that all protections have been made regarding this aspect.
Before each use, check the direction of rotation of the pump. While placing the pump under
vacuum, mount window screws using an airtight glue to avoid air leakage.
