Start-Up
Please note:
e direction of fl ow can be adjusted by turning the pump chamber in
90° steps.
e Quattrofl ow 150S is self-priming and can run dry. Inside the pump
chamber there are no rotating parts that might cause heating up of the
product or shed particles.
e pump-motor unit is mounted on a stainless steel base plate. In case
that the pump will not be operated on the base plate but for example in a
frame, a perpendicular mounting position is possible.
Before start-up of the pump one should acquaint oneself with the explanations of the troubleshooting. Only by doing this can defects be quickly
realized and eliminated in case of trouble. Problems which cannot be solved
or with an unknown reason should be passed on to the manufacturer.
Prior to each use we recommend to fl ush the pump with a proper fl uid (e.g.
water or buff er).
Prior to the very fi rst use it might make sense to clean and sanitize the
pump chamber. A commercial caustic clear and/or 0.1 to 0.5N NaOH can
be applied. e chosen cleaning agent can be recirculated and also stored
inside the pump chamber. For Flushing out of any cleaning agent do not
recirculate! Check with appropriate analytical methods the success of the
fl ushing procedure.
Recommendation: Test run prior first use!

A-1299-73682-2
Before using your pump in your process perform a test run to
get used to the specific properties of the pump.
Pay attention to have sufficiently dimensioned piping. Too
small of for the suction line can cause cavitation as well as a
loss of performance.
If hoses are used in the suction line, make sure that they do not
collapse due to the negative pressure.
When installing the pump please insure that around the pump
enough space is available for the operation and maintenance.
Pay attention to the required space needed for assembly and
disassembly of the pump chamber.
During start-up pay attention to the warning and safety instructions of this manual.

Cleaning (CIP)
Autoclave
Depending on the products in contact with the pump and given requirements the cleaning procedure needs to be adapted accordingly. It is the
responsibility of the user to verify the cleaning effi ciency. Safety rules and
safety measures like protective glasses, gloves, and protective clothing
have to be followed and used when working with chemicals like sodium
hydroxide (NaOH).
As a general rule we recommend to clean the pump according to the
following procedure.
1. Pre rinse the pump with pure water, until residual amounts of
product have been removed.
2. Cleaning step with 0.5 M NaOH (ca 50°C) at 80% of the maximum
RPM for approximately 30 min. Check before, if surrounding
conditions (e.g. pipe diameter, system pressure rating) allow to operate
the pump at this speed.
3. Final rinse with pure water, until neutrality has been achieved (e.g. by
measuring conductivity or pH of the rinse water).
For sterilization of the pump chamber we recommend the following steps.
1. CIP of the pump chamber according to 2.5 or any other suitable
process.
2. Empty the pump
3. Remove the pump chamber from the pump drive.
4. Close the in and outlet of the pump (e.g. by connecting hoses). Make
sure that there is free interchange available of gas and steam over a
sterile barrier (e.g. sterile fi lter) at the in and outlet.
5. Autoclave the prepared pump chamber in a vacuum at max 130°C
(266°F) for max 30 min. Follow the instructions from the autoclave
manufacturer.
Please make sure that the pump chamber is not placed on the

applicable. If the pump is being removed from the plant, a reference
about the delivered liquid has to be attached.
• Pumps or aggregates handling noxious fl uids (e.g. caustic, biohazards) must be
decontaminated. Immediately following completion of the work, all safety
relevant and protective devices must be re-installed and/or re-activated before
being put back into operation, take care of the mentioned instructions of the
chapter “start-up” an check the tightness of the pump.
• Please respect the relevant additional security advises, if the pump has been
used for aggressive, dangerous or toxic liquids (e.g. suitable protective
equipment according to the safety data sheet of the liquid). In case of a
diaphragm rupture, it is possible that residues of the liquid remain behind the
diaphragms and in the area of the ring drive. Hence, appropriate safety
equipment according to the safety data sheet of the liquid is indispensable.
Unauthorized

These warning hints are to prevent the user from an inadmissible mode
of operation. These warning hints are to be strictly followed to avoid
any damage to the pump and/or any danger to personnel.
e maximum allowed discharge pressure depends on the temperature of the
fl uid: P max at room temperature = 6 bar (>40°C = 4 bar) [=87 psi (>104°F =
58 psi)]. Exceeding of the maximum allowed discharge pressure must avoided
in any case (do not remove the warning sign at the pump). As a result even if
only temporarily – exceeding the allowed discharge pressure, the diaphragm can
be damaged. e resulting leakage may lead to a loss of the pumping fl uid and
damages of properties and/or persons. Pay attention to a suffi ciently
dimensioned piping on the suction and discharge line to prevent too high of
pressure in the pump. e pump chamber may not be set under pressure when
it is not mounted on the drive.
• e free cross section of the suction side as well as the length must be
measured in such a way to avoid cavitation.
• e use of a safety device (e.g. pressure switch) can be necessary.
• Please make sure that prior to the start of the pump the discharge line is
checked. Make sure that there is no fl ow restriction in the discharge line to
avoid any over pressure (e.g. closed valve).
• Flush the pump prior to use with appropriate fl uid (e.g. buff er).
• Foundation design: e foundation must be designed so that it can take the
weight of the pump aggregate on the entire surface.
• Please make sure that the pump is operated with the proper mains voltage and
frequency to avoid damages and electrical danger.
• Make sure that the slots for the cooling air are not blocked.
• Due to the versatile possibilities to use the Quattrofl ow pump it is highly
recommended to check case by case if the pump will be the right tool for
the specifi c application. e user/operator is responsible to perform a proper
method of testing if the pump should be applied for his specifi c application.
e chemical and thermal compatibility of the elastomeric parts of the pump
with the fl uid that will be pumped are to be checked by the operator before
the fi rst process run. E.g. Oily, fatty fl uids or solvents might cause a swelling
and/or destruction of the elastomeric components. If in doubt, please
contact the manufacturer!
• Operating the pump in humid or aggressive air can cause damages to the
motor and control box.

Additional Safety
Warnings (Continued)
• Depending on the conditions of operation, the liquid conveyed might escape
from the pump in case of a diaphragm rupture. For further safety requirements
the optional equipment diaphragm monitoring is recommended.
• Pools of liquid which appear in the near outer area of the pump have to be
inspected on danger potential, if necessary safety measures are to be taken.
• Chemical and biological reactions in the product chamber of the pump (mixture
of diff erent substances) and the freezing of the liquid have to be avoided.
• To avoid corrosion the contact of aggressive solutions (e.g. NaCl, HCl) with the
outer stainless steel surfaces of the pump (e.g. hood, base plate) has to be
prevented.
• e Quattrofl ow pump is a positive displacement pump and can theoretically
generate an infi nitely high pressure even at low speed (rpm). Prior to each start
of the pump check and make sure that the discharge line is not closed or
restricted. e design of the discharge line must not build up a pressure of > 6
bar (78 psi).
• If suction and/or discharge line are fl exible tubing, then make sure that these
tubing do have the proper pressure rating for the full range of temperatures that
are applied.
• Please follow the general safety guidelines when handling chemical fl uids (wear
gloves and/or glasses) before the pump chamber will be opened.
• Never operate the pump without coupling protection and motor housing.
• Quattrofl ow pumps can lead to bruises when lifting, sinking or assembling them.
Appropriate accessories and safety equipment are to be used. Big and heavy
modules have to fi xed and secured to lifting gears when transporting/replacing
them.
• Disconnect mains before doing any maintenance! e housing of the control
box or the motor is to be opened only by skilled personnel. Check the electrical
cables before connecting to mains supply.
• During all maintenance work it has to be ensured that no explosive atmosphere
can arise. Appropriate protection equipment is recommended. e Quattrofl ow
150S must not be operated in explosion-proof areas. Special versions for

Check suction pipeline and TC-Seals for tightness.
Check suction head-increase suction line cross section.
Check viscosity of liquid pumped.
See Drive Manual
Avoid air inclusions in the liquid to be pumped.
Check pressure head-open valve in discharge line
completely, remove obstruction in discharge line.
Pressure line completely or partly clogged, diaphragm
maybe broken, change diaphragm!
The diameter of the pipes in suction or pressure line
are too small.
Check the coupling halves. They must be fixed with
2-3 mm space.
Check longitudinal play of coupling rod pins. The spider
might be worn.
Check whether foreign bodies in pump. Disassemble
pump, remove foreign bodies, replace defective parts.
