3OPERATING CONDITIONS
Actual capacity depends on viscosity, specific weight of pumped liquid and plant's load loss.
Capacity and pressure values reported in the tables are
obtained under operating conditions with steady pressure, water
at 15°C and pump installed at 30 cm above water level.
Actual capacity depends on viscosity, specific weight of pumped
liquid and plant’s load loss. Pay attention not to exceed the
project conditions to avoid inconveniences of different kinds.
The power of the motor installed on the pump is suitable for use
at a max altitude of 1,000 m ASL and operating temperature of
+5°C to +40°C.
For operating conditions other than those described, coefficients
vary according to the diagram data. A motor with higher capacity
than the listed type can be installed, if necessary.
4INTENDED AND NON-INTENDED USE OF THE PUMP
The range of applications the pump is intended for includes dosing liquid substances compatible with
the project materials to be used.
Before purchasing the pump, the customer must indicate the type of liquid to be dosed so our
technical office can execute the pumping head according to the data provided.
Should the pump have been used in other processes, the customer must contact our technical office
before use it again to get all information necessary for proper use.
4.1 RESIDUAL RISKS
•A type of risk may result from leakage in the gasket gland due to wear of the sealing gaskets.
Any such liquid must be drained for proper disposal or collection.
•In case of breakage, after emptying the system, depressurise the pump head and do thorough
cleaning using suitable tools (hose) and detergents. Then you can disassemble the pump.
Please note that the operator should always wear suitable protective devices (gloves, goggles,
boots, overall, etc.)
5TRANSPORT, HANDLING, STORAGE
Usually the customer chooses the carrier and they (customer and
carrier) shall be responsible for transportation.
The pump must be transported or handled in an upright position,
do not lay it down.
This type of pump comes in a single package; custom packages can be
provided on demand.
If the pump is to be kept out of use for a long time, fill the reducer with
SAE 85W-140 oil to avoid oxidation of components. This is particularly
necessary before starting the pump again.
The equipment should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated place away
from heat and at a temperature between +5°C and +40°C.
5.1 CHECKING ANY DAMAGE OCCURRED DURING SHIPPING
Before opening the package, check its condition; in case it is damaged, immediately report the
incident to the carrier.
Then thoroughly check the contents to find and readily report any damage due to transportation or
handling.
