7.3 Regular maintenance
The discharge pressure, flow rate and power consumption should be
monitored continuously.
For machines operating continuously (24 hours/day, 7 days/week), a
prescheduled maintenance period every three months is recommended.
During these periods the machine should be shut down, thoroughly
cleaned, and checked for wear.
Machines operating less than 24 hours a day should undergo these
routine checks and be cleaned at each shutdown.
CAUTION
Regular monitoring of operations and performance of the
medium-consistency pump will allow the operator to detect any
need for maintenance and repairs in good time. This guarantees a
high level of efficiency, a trouble-free operating sequence, and
minimises the maintenance costs!
