2.1 Proper use
o Use the pump solely for transporting lubricating liquids that are chemically neutral and that do not
contain gas or solid components.
o Use the pump only within the operating limits specified on the rating plate and in the chapter "Tech-
nical data". In the case of operating data that do not agree with the specifications on the rating
plate, please contact the manufacturer.
o The pump is designed specially for the operating pressure named by the customer. If the actual op-
erating pressure deviates notably from this design pressure, damage to the pump can also arise
within the specified operating limits. This applies both to notably higher as well as to notably lower
operating pressures. Under no circumstances may the minimum pressure lie below 2bar. In case
of any doubt, please contact the manufacturer.

2.4.1 Fundamental safety instructions
o Any use that extends beyond the proper use or any other use is misuse.
o The product is not suitable for pumping liquids outside the operational limits.
o Any bypassing or deactivation of safety equipment during operation is prohibited.
The operator-owner is the person who operates the product commercially or permits a third party to
use it and who bears the legal responsibility for the product, the protection of the personnel and third
parties during its operation.
The product is used in industrial applications. The operator-owner is therefore subject to the statutory
obligations concerning occupational health and safety.
In addition to the safety instructions in these instructions, the regulations on safety, accident prevention

5.3 Functional principle
Screw pumps are rotating pumps. Their displacement effect results from three rotating screws6 and11
and the enclosing pump housing3.
Radial support of the screw set is effected through the sliding contact in the pump housing that depends on lubrication by the pumped liquid. Screw pumps are therefore not suitable for dry running and
can only be used up to specific pressure limits and viscosity limits. Due to the narrow tolerances pumping of suspended solids is not possible.
Axial support of the main screw is effected by a deep-groove ball bearing. In order to reduce the pressure, a balancing cylinder is mounted at the main screw. An integrated overflow valve protects against
excessive pressure that could cause housing parts to burst.
The default direction of the rotation of the screw set is clockwise viewed from the motor and is marked
on the pump flange by an arrow.
The flow direction is marked on the pump housing by two arrows.

1 Screw plug
2 Adjusting screw
3 Pressure spring
4 Valve body
Fig.5: Overflow valve
The integrated overflow valve ensures that very high pressures that could result in housing parts bursting do not arise.
The overflow valve is purely there as a safety element for the pump and should not be used for control
or regulation purposes such as maintaining pressure. If the valve is kept open for too long under adverse operating conditions (high differential pressures and/or low viscosities) it will only take a few
minutes for the overflow valve and the valve seating to become damaged. As a result, the overflow
valve will leak permanently and there will be a corresponding reduction in the delivery rate. In addition
to this, circulation through the overflow valve for too long results in excess heating of the pump. This
reduces viscosity and can ultimately lead to pump failure.
It therefore has to be ensured at the system by a safety valve that the maximum operating overpressure always lies under the opening pressure of the overflow valve.
Notice The opening pressure of the overflow valve is set to 110% of the differential pressure in the factory.
The overflow valve is accessible through a screw plug1 and can be adjusted from the outside Ä During operation,Page24.
Notice o A function test of the overflow valve at least every 5 years is essential for the safe operation Ä Dur-
ing operation,Page24.
o Scope and if necessary shorter test intervals must be specified by the operator-owner in accord-
ance with the requirements and national provisions (for example Austrian Ordinance of Safety and
Health (BetrSichV)).
o The first function test must take place directly after the commissioning.
o After longer downtimes (> 4 weeks) the function of the overflow valve must be tested again.

1. Attach the hoisting equipment to the pump/pump unit and tighten. Ensure that the centre of gravity lies exactly under the crane hook.
2. Lift the pump/pump unit carefully and put it down shock-free.
3. Before loosening the transport belts ensure that the pump/pump unit is secured against tilting.
6.5 Storing the pump
During the test run, the internal components of the pump are wetted with test oil, which has a preservative effect. Pressure connection and suction connection are closed with protective caps. Unless otherwise specified, the outer surfaces of the pump are preserved with a single-coat PU-based two-component paint.
The preservative applied at the factory will protect the pump for about six weeks, if it is stored in a dry
and clean location.
The manufacturer offers a long-term preservation for storage times of up to 60months. The pump is
additionally packed in hermetically sealing anti-corrosion paper.

Set the opening pressure to 110% of the differential pressure Ä During opera-
tion,Page24.
– 2 – – 5 – – Overflow valve leaks
Contact the manufacturer.
– 2 – – – – – Advanced wear of the housing/screw set
Contact the manufacturer.
– – 3 – – – – Pump subject to mechanical stress
Connect the pump correctly to the pipe system Ä Connection,Page18.

Bear the pump unit elastically.
-orMake the connections with hoses.
– – 3 – – – – Flow speed in the pressure line or suction line too high
Set the flow speed in the pressure line so that it does not exceed 3m/s.
-orSet the flow speed in the suction line so that it does not exceed 1m/s.
-orContact the manufacturer.
– – 3 4 – – 7 Ball bearing damaged
Replace the ball bearing Ä Servicing,Page29.
– – – 4 – – 7 Foreign bodies in the pump
Contact the manufacturer.
– – – – – – 7 Differential pressure is too high and has overloaded the idle screws
Contact the manufacturer.
– – – – – – 7 Viscosity is too low and has overloaded the idle screws
Contact the manufacturer.
1 2 3 4 – – 7 Pump damaged through dry running
Contact the manufacturer.
1 – – – – – – Pump does not vent
Vent the pressure line at the highest point.
– 2 3 – – – – Magnetic coupling interrupted
1. Stop the pump immediately and restart it.
2. Avoid excessive differential pressures.
3. At repeated occurrence check whether pump has got stuck.

15.1.1 Possible types of heating
The pump can optionally be equipped with a heating system. The manufacturer recommends a heating
system at high-viscosity pumped liquids that do not flow sufficiently if not heated. This can result in excessive wattage or in problems arising through cavitation or sealing.
Possible types of heating:
o Electrical heating system
o Fluid heating system
o Special heating system

The electrical heating system consists of one or two heating elements481 that are integrated in a heating cover 072 attached additionally to the end cover. The output of the elements corresponds to the radiation losses and convection losses of the pump in the required temperature range so that overheating is not possible.

washers
Notice In the case of galvanised screw plugs and screw plugs made of stainless steel the inner thread and
outer thread have to be greased thorough before mounting in order to prevent threads from seizing.
Notice The manufacturer recommends tightening screws with wedge lock washers according to the table
