Noise level
CTM pumps, including the motor, in normal operating conditions produce a sound level
below 80 dB(A). The major sources of noise are: liquid turbulence in the installation, cavitation
or any other abnormal operation that is independent from the pump construction nor the
pump manufacturer. The user must provide suitable protective means if the sources of noise
could produce a harmful noise level for operators and for the environment (in compliance
with current local regulations).
1.7.6.
Temperature hazards
Raised temperature can cause damage on the pump and/or piping and may also be
hazardous for personnel in the vicinity of the pump/piping. The hot or cold parts of the
machine must be protected to avoid accidental contacts
1.7.7.
Rotating parts
Do not tamper with the protection of the rotating parts, do not touch or approach rotating
parts in movement.
1.7.8.
Powerful magnetic field
Magnetically driven pumps use high intensity magnets. All pacemaker carriers must not
approach magnetic components; intense magnetic field can disturb heart pace.
1.8.
Solids
It is not recommended to use liquid with suspended solids, especially if sensitive to
magnetism. In case dirty liquids are to be pumped and this was not mentioned at the time
of ordering, it is necessary to contact Tapflo technical service before activating the pump.
Acceptable solid size for all CTM pumps is 0,1 mm (100 microns).
Maximum solids concentration by weight is 2%.
