3 Transport, Storage and
Disposal
3.1 Transport
Always transport the pump in a horizontal position and
ensure that the pump is securely packed in the box.
3.1.1 Unpacking and Inspection on
Delivery
1. Report any transport damage to the manufacturer/
distributor immediately.
2. Retain the packing if any further transport is required.
3.1.2 Lifting
Pump damage caused by lifting
u
Do not lift the pump by the Screen Module or the Pump
Head as shown in the following illustration.
3.2 Storage Conditions
Make sure the storage location meets the following
conditions:
–
Dry, humidity not to exceed 80%, non-condensing
–
Out of direct sunlight
–
Frost-free; temperature range -40° to +70°C
– Vibration-free
– Dust-free
Tubing should be stored as supplied in their wrapper
and should be stored away from direct sunlight
and at room temperature.
3.3 Interim Storage After Using the
Pump
u
The tube should be removed from the pump.
u
The pumphead should be washed out, allowed to dry and
any external build up of product removed.
3.4 Interim Storage Before Using
the Pump
Pump damage caused by interim storage
u
Allow the pump to reach ambient temperature before
use.
u
Please observe the storage recommendations and use-
by dates which apply to tubing you may wish to bring into
service after storage.
3.5 Disposal
With prolonged use, pump parts can be contaminated
by hazardous pumped liquids to such an extent that
cleaning may be insufficient.
Risk of poisoning and environmental damage by the
pumped liquid
u
Use suitable personal protective equipment when carrying
out any work on the pump.
u
Prior to disposal of the pump:
– Collect and dispose of any leaking pumped liquid in
accordance with local regulations.
– Neutralize residues of pumped liquid in the pump.
u
Dispose of the pump and associated parts in accordance
with local regulations.
4 Layout and Function
The medium to be pumped does not come into contact
with any moving parts and is totally contained within the
tube. A roller passes along the length of the tube, com-
pressing it. This motion forces the contents of the tube di-
rectly in front of the roller to move forward along the length
of the tube in a ‘positive displacement’ peristaltic move-
ment. In the wake of the roller’s compressing action, the
natural elasticity of the tube material causes the tube to
recover and regain its round profile. This creates suction
pressure which refills the tube.
WARNING
Do not lift the pump from the Screen Module
or the Pump Head
