Problem
Cause/result
Remedy
Overloaded motor
- Pumping of viscous liquids - Larger motor or smaller impeller
- Pumping of liquids with high density
- Low outlet pressure (counter pressure) - Higher counter pressure (throttling)
- Lamination of precipitates from the
liquid
- Frequent cleaning
- Damage - Low inlet pressure - Increase the inlet pressure
- Pressure reduction (sometimes to
zero)
- High liquid temperature - Reduce the liquid temperature
- Increasing of the noise level - Reduce the pressure drop before the
pump
Leaking shaft seal - Dry run Replace:
All wearing parts
- Incorrect rubber grade If necessary:
- Change rubber grade
- Abrasive particles in the liquid
- Select stationary and rotating seal ring
