2.5 WARNING/CONTROL DEVICE
Prior to operating the pump, if any warning or control
devices are fitted these must be set in accordance
with their specific instructions.
2.6 PUMP OPERATING TEMPERATURE
The range of temperatures the pump surfaces will
develop is dependent upon factors such as product
temperature and ambient temperature of the
installation. There may be instances where the
external pump surface can exceed 50
o
C.
In these instances, personnel must be made aware
of this and suitable warnings/guarding used.
2.7 NOISE LEVELS
2.8 LUBRICATION
Pumps fitted with bearings should be inspected
periodically to see if grease replenishment is
necessary, and if so, grease should be added until
the chambers at the ends of the bearing spacer are
approximately one third full.
Periodic bearing inspection is necessary to maintain
optimum bearing performance. The most expedient
time to inspect is during periods of regular
scheduled equipment downtime - for routine
maintenance or for any
other reason.
Under tropical or other arduous conditions, however,
a more frequent examination may be necessary. It
is therefore advisable to establish a correct
maintenance schedule or periodic inspection.
BP LC2 / Mobilgrease XHP 222 or their equivalent
must be used for replenishment.
2.9 PUMP UNITS
Where a pump unit is dismantled and re-assembled,
consideration must be given to ensure that where
appropriate the following steps are covered.
1. Correct alignment of pump/gearbox
2. Use of appropriate couplings & bushes
3. Use of appropriate belts & pulleys correctly
tensioned.
2.10 CLEANING PRIOR TO OPERATION
i. Non Food Use
During the commissioning of a new pump or
recommissioning of an overhauled pump, it is
advisable to clean the pump prior to the initial
operation of the pump in the process.
ii. Food Use
When a pump has been supplied for a food
application, it is important to ensure that the pump is
clean prior
to initial operation of the pump.
Therefore, it is important that a clean-in-place
treatment is executed on the pump at the following
times:-
1. When the pump is first commissioned for use.
2. When any spare components are fitted into the
wetted area of the pump.
A recommended CIP procedure is as follows:
This procedure should not be used on the CP
Pump Range. Please consult our application
engineers for a suitable procedure.
Caustic Wash
LQ94 ex Lever Diversey or equivalent
2% concentration
Acid Wash
P3 Horolith 617 ex Henkel
Ecolab or equivalent 1% concentration
Procedure
1. Caustic wash @ 75°C for 20 mins
2. Water rinse @ 80°C for 20 mins

Installation, Operation & Maintenance Instructions
1. The sound pressure level should not exceed 85dB
at one metre distance from the pump.
2. This is based on a typical installation and does not
necessarily include noise from other sources or
any contribution from building reverberation or
installation pipework
3. It is recommended the actual pump unit noise
levels are ascertained once the unit is installed and
running at duty conditions
