SECTION A –INTRODUCTION
The Kamco ‘SCALEBREAKER' range of pumps and chemicals have been specifically designed for the removal
of scale and rust deposits which naturally form in heating and cooling circuits.
Heating and cooling systems using steel pipework and components frequently suffer fouling, and a build-up
of debris as a result of the natural corrosion process by which iron tries to revert to its oxides.
In hard water areas, when water is heated, the natural minerals within the water break down into insoluble
crystals, which deposit out as scale.
These deposits not only restrict water flow, but also act as a very effective insulant, severely reducing heat
transfer and hence efficiency of the equipment, necessitating regular cleaning and descaling.
Applications include:
Heat exchangers and calorifiers.
Boilers and steam generators.
Condensers and chillers.
Injection moulding and extrusion machines.
Catering equipment.
Cooling towers and evaporators.
Precautions should be taken to ensure a safe working environment:
Take care when lifting large or heavy items.
Regularly check power leads for wear or damage, use with a residual circuit breaker.
When handling chemicals wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and goggles.
Use in a well-ventilated area.
PAT test (Portable Appliance Test) the electrics annually.
Read and observe manufacturers’instructions.

SECTION B –SCALEBREAKER PUMP SPECIFICATION
INTRODUCTION
All Kamco pumps are of the self-priming, vertical axis centrifugal type.
Units are built for ease of handling, with hand holds and grips for manoeuvrability and emptying.
Low weight and a wide base aid stability. Models from the C40 upwards are fitted with wheels.
'Standard' model or 'Fresh Water Flush Facility' (FWF) model
The larger Scalebreaker pumps are available in two different formats:
'Standard' format with a two-part hose set: flow and return.
'Fresh Water Flush Facility' format with four-part hose set: flow, return, water inlet and dump.
The 'Fresh Water Flush Facility' format gives the operator the option of introducing fresh water directly into the tank,
and the ability to dump the waste into a nearby drain or disposal vessel without the need to disconnect the flow and
return hoses from the equipment being descaled.
Motors.
Electric motors are totally enclosed fan-cooled type, to IP54 and IP55 protection rating, continuously rated.
Pumps are available with 230v, 50Hz, 110v, 50Hz, or 120v, 60Hz motors, with illuminated, membrane covered
switches. 240v, 60Hz motors are available on larger models.
Flow reversal device.
All units have an instantaneous flow reverser valve to change the direction of flow between clockwise and
anticlockwise directions. The valve can be operated without the need to switch the motor off.
Alternating the flow of the descaling chemical enables deposits to be attacked from different directions and can
drastically reduce the time taken. It is also very effective in flushing out loosened debris.
Operational and temperature capabilities.
All units can operate up to 60°C.
Descaling can be undertaken cold, above 0°C, but chemical performance is enhanced with temperature.
Chemical handling capabilities
Scalebreaker pumps are acid-proof, and may be used with all acids in common descaling use,
i.e. hydrochloric, phosphoric, sulphamic, citric, formic, acetic, etc. as well as alkalis.
Pumps may be used with chlorine solutions for sterilising purposes.
For compatibility with other chemicals, please check with Kamco.
Hoses and connections.
Reinforced PVC hoses with polypropylene chemical resistant BSP threaded female couplings.
