General safety information
WARNING!
Live parts
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries
–Measure: The device must be disconnected from
the power supply before it is opened
Isolate damaged, faulty or manipulated devices
–
from the mains in order to de-energise.
WARNING!
Emergency stop switch
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries
An emergency stop switch is to be connected for the
entire plant. This should enable the entire plant to be
shut down in the event on an emergency in such a way
that the overall plant can be brought into a safe condi‐
tion.
WARNING!
Unauthorised access
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries
–Measure: Ensure that there can be no unauthor‐
ised access to the unit
WARNING!
Hazardous media / contamination of persons and
equipment
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries.
material damage
–Ensure that the pump hoses are resistance against
the media being conveyed
Always observe the the safety data sheets for the
–
media to be conveyed. The system operator must
ensure that these safety data sheets are available
and that they are kept up-to-date
–The safety data sheets for the media being
conveyed are always decisive for initiating counter
measures in the event of leakage to the media
being conveyed
–Observe the general restrictions in relation to
viscosity limits, chemical resistance and density
–Always switch the pump off before exchanging the
pump hose
16

Safety and responsibility
WARNING!
Correct and proper use
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries
–The unit is not intended to convey or regulate
gaseous or solid media
Do not exceed the rated pressure, speed or
–
temperature for the pump
–The unit may only be used in accordance with the
technical data and specifications provided in these
operating instructions and in the operating instruc‐
tions for the individual components
–The system is not designed for use in areas at risk
from explosion
–Only switch the pump on if it has been properly
fastened to the floor
–Only switch the pump on if it the front cover has
been attached.
WARNING!
Operational lifetime of the pump hoses
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries
The operational lifetime of the pump hoses cannot be
precisely specified. For this reason, the possibility of
fracture and consequential leakage of liquids must be
accounted for. If the hose rupture alarm (optional) is
fitted, then the pump can be stopped and / or an elec‐
trical valve can be actuated.
In addition, you must avoid particles from untight
hoses being introduced into the media being
conveyeed. This can be achieved e.g. by means of
filtration, a hose rupture alarm or other means suitable
for the respective process.
CAUTION!
CIP cleaning
In the event of CIP cleaning, it is necessary to obtain
information from the manufacturer about correct instal‐
lation of the pump (a special installation is required),
as well as regarding the compatibility of the cleaning
agents with the pump hoses of the pump and the other
hydraulic connections.
Cleaning should be undertaken at the recommended
maximum temperature.
CAUTION!
Direction of rotation / flow direction
Possible consequence: Material damage right through
to destruction of the unit
–The pump's direction of rotation in relation to the
desired flow direction must be checked prior to
every start.

Brief functional description
3.1
Construction
The package contents supplied with the DULCO®flex DFBa is
selectable via the identcode.
The DULCO®flex DFBa is a displacement pump. The feed chem‐
ical is conveyed by the rotor squeezing the hose in the direction of
flow. No valves are needed for this. This ensures gentle handling
of the metered media.
The DULCO®flex DFBa has been designed for safe and uncompli‐
cated operation, as well as straightforward maintenance.
The DULCO®flex DFBa can be used for many different media.
However, this pump type is often the optimal solution for abrasive,
shear-sensitive and viscose media.
Typical areas of use include processes where only a low discharge
pressure is required (max. 8 bar).
Main modules:
n Drive Unit
n Housing
n Base frame
The pump housing is closed off with a screwed front cover in order
to avoid the risk of injury.
The motor serves to drive the rotor. Two rollers at the ends of the
rotor serve to press the pump hose against the pump housing.
The rotary movement of the rotors alternately press and relax the
rollers in relation to the pump hose. This serves to suck the media
in and convey it into the metering line.

4.3.2 Alignment of the suction side
The pump is to be positioned as near as possible to the liquid
container, so that the suction side is kept as short and straight as
possible.
The suction line must be absolutely airtight and made of a suitable
material, so that it is not squeezed together under vacuum.
The diameter must correspond to the rated diameter of the pump
hose. A larger diameter is recommended in the event of viscose
liquids.
max. pressure (bar)
The pump is self-priming and does not require an admission valve.
The pump is reversible and the suction connection can therefore
comprise of one of two options. Normally the option is selected
which is best suited to the physical conditions of the installation.
It is recommended to use a flexible transition between two fixed
pipes and the hydraulic connection of the pump, in order to avoid
the transmission of vibrations.

4.3.3 Alignment of the discharge side
P_DX_0013_SW
The discharge line is to be kept as straight and short as possible,
in order to avoid performance reduction.
The diameter must correspond to the rated diameter of the pump
hose. A larger diameter is recommended in the event of viscose
liquids.
It is recommended to use a flexible transition between two fixed
pipes and the hydraulic connection of the pump, in order to avoid
the transmission of vibrations.
