Fig.2 – Transport of pump through seats Fig.3 – Transport of complete set with common baseframe
of bearing casings for pump and motor (since there is no possibility of
baseframe deformation due to its excessive
length)
Note: Take care to not lose or damage coupling guard or foundation bolts during transport.
3.2 Interim Storage (indoors) / Preservation
KSB and its Dealer Network perform the following procedures of service and storage until effective delivery of the pump. It is
client responsibility to continue with these procedures after receiving the pump.
When a performance test after the pump sale is not applied, the machined areas in contact with the pumped liquid which are
not painted, receive an application of RUSTILO DW-301 by brush.
When the pump is equipped with gland packing subject to a performance test, it is drained after test without disassembling it,
and then filled up with RUSTILO DW-301 rotating its rotor assembly to improve the RUSTILO application. After that the pump is
drained again.
On the shaft exposed areas, a brush application of TECTYL 506 is made.
On oil lubricated pump bearing brackets, bearings receive a layer of MOBILARMA 524 by spray.
3.2.1 Additional procedure for storage
• Pumps stored for periods exceeding one year should be re-protected every 12 months. They must be disassembled,
cleaned and the whole process described above should be repeated.
• Grease lubricated bearings are charged with grease and do not need maintenance.
• Gland packing equipped pumps should have their packing removed before storage.
• Mechanical seals should be cleaned with dry compressed air. No other liquid or material must be applied to them, in order
to prevent damage to the secondary sealing parts, such as o-rings and gaskets.
• All connections, such as inlets for liquids from external sources, priming, draining, flushing / quench and cooling should be
closed. Suction and discharge flanges should be covered to prevent the entry of foreign bodies.
• Stored pumps should be turned by hand every 15 days. If it is difficult to move them by hand, use a pipe adjustable
spanner wrench, protecting the shaft surface at the place of application.
• Wash exposed surfaces with gasoline or kerosene before applying the protecting liquids.
• Characteristics of the used protecting liquids:
