Pumps with catchment chamber systems (SKS)
Applies to pump types NB, FB, WP, SM, ZHB
Applies to the arrangement of mechanical seals (GLRD) "Back to Back" and

Please read the relevant manual carefully and follow the instructions in it.
If any of the information is unclear, make certain to contact SCHMALENBERGER!
Every person who is involved with the installation, removal, operation, commissioning and
maintenance of the catchment chamber system (SKS) in the operator's facility must have
read and understood the Operator's Manual and especially the safety instructions. We
recommend to the operator having this confirmed in writing.
The catchment chamber system (SKS) meets very high quality standards (DIN EN ISO
9001) and provides reliable operation. However, the SKS may pose danger if it is not used
properly or is used unprofessionally by untrained personnel.
The operator must determine what effects may be associated with the failure of the SKS
and whether safety measures should be taken to protect persons or the environment.
The pump with integrated SKS (pump unit) must be set up so that failure of the integrated
GLRDs cannot result in any personal injury caused by media spraying out and so that
leakage can be disposed of properly.
Any type of operation that has a detrimental effect on the operating safety of the pump unit
must be avoided.
