Full drainability: Vertical position of the pump (pump chamber downwards)
To reach a full drainability of Quattroflow Pump chambers there is the possibly to mount the complete pump
drive and pump head in vertically position. There are some figures below which show this orientation
exemplary.
For the reason that the pump chamber shows downwards the medium will flow out of the inlet and outlet
port caused by the gravitation.
For all pump sizes we recommend installing valves both at the inlet and the outlet site of the pump
chamber for draining after the process or cleaning procedure is finished.
For new or existing Quattroflow pump with gear motors, there are some points which have
to be considered for horizontal mounting. Please contact the support team to get further
information.
