2.2 General information
Ponndorf Hose Pumps are a self-priming positive displacement pumps without any glands
or valves. The pumping medium only comes in contact the inner surface of the pump hose,
but not with the moving parts of the pump. Therefore the pumps are particularly suitable
for pumping aggressive, abrasive and viscous liquids, but as well for pumping liquids
containing coarse-grained solids and sensitive materials which require to be pumped
gently.
Priming and pumping of combustible gases or fumes is prohibited.
Start up and close down operations which require this should only be rarely
and kept as short as possible. A dry run of the pump (operation without
pumping media) has to be avoided generally. Appropriate measures have to
be taken by operator.
Hose pumps are only intended to pump free-flowing liquids but not to pump
gaseous pumping media.
The functioning of a hose pump can lead to abrasion on the pump hose. For
applications in which the possible abrasion is intermittent or not permissible,
appropriate filter technology must be provided by the customer.
To guarantee the tightness and chemical compatibility of the pump hoses, the
manufacturer of the hose pump must be consulted in case of possible
changes of the pumping media unless this information does not appear from
available documents.
