2.5.1 Liquid temperature and impeller life
The service life indicated below is based on several tests with water at 20°C at continuous
duty.
Continuous duty will not effect the service life of the impeller, but in installations with
frequent change of rotation, the service life of the impellers will decrease.
Neoprene end EPDM
• Temperature range +3° to +65°C
• When operating in the lower and upper areas of the indicated temperature range,
performance will be reduced and the service life of the impeller will be shortened
Nitrile
• Temperature range -15° to +65°C
• When operating in the lower and upper areas of the indicated temperature range,
performance will be reduced and the service life of the impeller will be shortened
For higher temperatures please consult your supplier.
2.6 Storage
A pump which is not installed immediately should be stored in a cool and dark room, and
the impeller be removed. The rubber material of the impeller ages and should be treated as
perishables. The storage should not exceed 2 years. If the pump has been out of operation
for a longer period of time, the impeller should be greased (for foodstuff applications use
appropriate food grease) before use, to receive optimal suction ability.
