Section 4: System Maintenance
The sy
stem will require the following items to be maintained on a scheduled basis.
Warning Always disconnect power and relive pressure from the system before performing any
maintenance on this filtration system.
Caution Always follow correct lock out procedures when working on this filtration system.
4.2 Pump Suction Basket
The vacuum gauge located on the pump suction basket should be monitored every time the system is
started and then after every 8 hours of operation to ensure that the suction does not exceed −10 in/hg.
The pum
p suction basket should be removed and emptied every 8 hours of operation. It is important to
check the condition of the gasket on basket’s lid, make sure it is free of dirt and is firmly in place before
turning the system back on.
Ebbco recommends that a preventive maintenance schedule be implemented for this component.
Note: The vacuum gauge must read −3 in.hg – service basket at −10 in.hg.
4.3 System Pump
The centrifugal pump has been tested and greased at the factory; therefore lubrication is not necessary
for a period of approximately six to eight months. Remember that over greasing will cause the bearing to
run hot, so grease bearings sparingly when it is necessary. Ebbco recommends the use of sri # 2
chevron ball bearing grease.
Applications were there is a high abrasion the pump may have to be inspected quarterly for wear on
impeller and impeller housing.
It is recommended that a routine maintenance schedule be set up and followed for the best service of the
pump. A periodic comparison of existing operating conditions and data against data taken when pump
was initially started may indicate a problem developing and allow for a planned maintenance check before
a breakdown occurs.
4.4 Centrifugal Separator
There is no scheduled maintenance on the separator itself.
