1.0 General
1.1 Pump Limits of Application or Use
This range of pumps has been designed for
pumping a full range of semi-solids, for transfer,
dosing and sampling in the food, chemical and
associated industries.
Pressures of up to 7 bar, speeds to 1360rpm
and temperatures to 60°C can be obtained on
this range of pumps depending on type/size.
These conditions cannot always be obtained
simultaneously. The model type/size will be
shown on the nameplate positioned on the pump.
The pump/pump unit will have been selected for
the pump users specific application when known
and the pump serial number will relate to this.
If the user has not specified the pumping
application or needs to change it, it is important
to confirm that the materials of construction and
product seals are compatible with the pumping
application and that adequate NPSH is available.
For specific guidelines contact your supplier
quoting :- pump model/size, serial number and
system details (e.g. product, pressure, flow rate).
Where the application requires the pump should
be mounted with ports vertical to ensure self
draining e.g. food media.
1.2 Pump Duty Conditions
The pump should only be used for the duty for
which it has been specified. The operating
pressure, speed and temperature limits have
been selected at the time of order and must not
be exceeded for the pump. These details are
stated on the original documentation and if not
available may be obtained from your supplier
quoting :- pump model and serial number.
Under certain operating conditions pumps and/
or drives and/or the systems within which they
are installed can produce sound pressure levels
in excess of 80 dB[A]. When necessary,
protection against noise should be taken.
