SECTION I

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Neptune Series 7000 Mechanical Diaphragm metering pump is a reliable me tering pump of the Low-pressure
diaphragm type. Under constant conditions of temperature, pressure, and capacity adjustment settings, a +/- 2%
metered discharge volume is maintained. Rugged contoured composite diaphragm designed for high mete ring
accuracy over a full 10:1 turndown range.

A plunger reciprocating at a set fixed stroke, actuates a flexible, chemically inert, Teflon faced diaphragm, to create
pumping action. Screwing in and out a hand knob regulates the capacity of the pump. Screwing in (shortens the
stroke length) reduces the volume and screwing out increases it. A percentage of flow is read on the scale.

Precision-engineered liquid ends meters mild solutions, aggressive chemicals, high viscosity polymers (up to
5000cP) and slurries (hydrated lime slurries up to 4 lbs of /gallon of water, activated carbon slurries up to 1 lbs
/gallon of water)

Metering accuracy is maintained by the ball check valves at the suction and discharge of the pump. The use of screw
in cartridge ball check valves eases maintenance.

Temperature limitations on the plastic heads are 36 – 125°F (2 - 52°C)
Mechanical diaphragm pumps are positive displacement reciprocating pump s. Each pump consists of a power end

and a process end separated by mechanically operated Teflon faced diaphragm. Individual pumps will vary in
appearance due to various liquid ends; however, the basic principles of operation remain the same.

1.0 GENERAL

1.0.1 UNPACKING & INSPECTION
When unpacking a pump or chemical feed system, be certain that no parts are thrown away.

Examine the equipment for possible damage. If damage has occurred, file claim with the common
carrier within 24 hours. Neptune will assist in estimating the repair costs.

1.0.2 The Mechanical Diaphragm metering pumps should be located on a level surface. Three mounting
holes are provided to anchor the pump securely to the mounting surface. All piping to the pump
should be supported to prevent stress on the pump input and output fittings.

1.0.3 Before connecting the pump make sure that all fittings are completely clean by flushing thoroughly.
Foreign matters with sharp edges entering the pump can damage the diaphragm and severely limit
the life of the pump.

1.0.4 A “Y” STRAINER (AT LEAST ONE PIPE SIZE LARGER THAN SUCTION INLET SIZE OF THE
PUMP) MUST BE INSTALLED IN THE SUCTION LINE OF THE PUMP TO INSURE AGAINST
FOREIGN MATTER ENTERING THE PUMP

1.0.5 It is recommended that shut-off valves and unions be placed in the suction and discharge lines if
possible. Such an arrangement will facilitate servicing the pump.

1.0.6 The electrical supply to the pump must match the motor nameplate characteristics. The motor
rotation is counter clockwise when viewed from the top of the motor or looking down on the pump.
An arrow mark on the gearbox shows the rotation (See Figure 1)

On single-phase units, the rotation is set at the factory and must not be changed.

SECTION II

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT

FIGURE 1

Please note Figure 1, indicating the correct rotation. Operation with the incorrect rotation will
damage the pump and motor.

1.0.7 Fill gearbox and pump by pouring the specified gear oil (drive lubricant) supplied through the

Breather (see note) at the rear of the pump. Pour fluid in slowly until it covers the worm gear.

PLEASE NOTE: Oil may be poured through breather. Snap off the breather top and remove the breather

sponge to fill oil and then reinstall sponge and breather top.

contaminants unless designed for that service, and any accumulation can cause malfunction. The
strainer should be located between the suction shutoff valve and the pump suction valve. It must be
sized to accommodate the flow rate and the anticipated level of contamination. A 100-mesh screen
size is recommended.

stresses can cause leaks. In piping assembly, use a sealing compound chemically compatible with
the process material.

Although Mechanical Diaphragm metering pumps have suction lift capability, a flooded suction is
preferable whenever possible. The pump should be located as clo se a s po ssible to the suction side
reservoir or other source.

The pump will self-prime with 10 ft (3 meters) of water suction lift (wetted valves, zero back pressure,
full stroke and speed, water like solutions). Once primed, the pump is capabl e of up to 10 feet (3
meters) of water suction lift.

All Mechanical Diaphragm metering pumps are designed for continuous service at the rated
discharge pressure. The discharge pressure must exceed suction pressure by at least 6 Psia (or

0.41 Bar). This can be achieved where necessary by the installation of a backpressure valve in the
discharge line.

suction line will reduce pumping capacity. Pipe should be one size larger than suction inlet size of
the pump. It is suggested that the suction piping be tested with low air pressure and a soap sol ution
to assure that no leaks exist. Limit the total length of the suction line to 5-8 feet for suction lift or 8-10
feet for flooded suction. Minimize bends, elbows, or other restrictions for better pumping efficiency.

WITH A FLOODED SUCTION, AS THIS WILL FACILITATE START UP AND INCREASE THE
SERVICE LIFE OF THE PUMP.

2.0.3 It is recommended that all solution tanks be furnished with a low level cut off switch or low-level
alarm and cut off switch to prevent the pump from running dry. Although the pump can run dry for a
few minuets. OPERATION AGAINST A DRY SYSTEM FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE PUMP DIAPHRAGM AND REDUCE THE OPERATING LIFE OF THE PUMP.

3.0 DISCHARGE PIPING

3.0.1 It is recommended that the Mechanical Diaphragm metering pump o perate against a suitable back
pressure to facilitate better operation of the check valves.

3.0.3 To protect the pump, it is recommended that an external relief valve as manufactured by Neptune
Chemical Pump Company, or equal, be placed in the discharge line of the pump to avoid over pressure.

3.0.4 Discharge piping should equal discharge port size.

NOTE: All parts must have a working pressure rating above the required set pressure.

3.0.5 Start and run the pump.

3.0.6 Adjust the required percentage of flow required.

Do not attempt to run the pump in excess of its nameplate rating.

4.0 INSTALLATION OUTDOORS

The Mechanical Diaphragm metering pump is a totally enclosed pump, which can be used o utdoors or
indoors. When installed outdoors, make sure that the pump is protected against extremes of nature as
follows:

4.0.1 Running of the pump when exposed to tropical sunshine with ambient temperature above 90°F
(32°C) would cause excessive oil and motor temperatures. The pump should be shaded and located
in such a way as to permit an ample degree of air circulation.

4.0.2 Under cold conditions, the pump should be insulated and a heater should be supplied in order to

maintain the hydraulic fluid at an ambient temperature above 36°F (2°C.)

5.0 START UP PROCEDURE
The following start up procedure is complete and does repeat instructions on filling the gearbox and pump.

5.0.1 Open suction and discharge valve. (See recommendation 1.0.5)

5.0.2 Set capacity indicator to zero by turning hand knob clockwise.

5.0.3 Adjust backpressure close to zero.

5.0.3 Start pump.

5.0.4 On initial start-ups: Check for proper motor rotation (Refer to Paragraph 1.0.6). Listen for any

abnormal motor or crank noises, and if present, refer to trouble shooting chart.

5.0.5 Adjust pump to required capacity by turning hand knob anticlockwise.

5.0.6 Adjust pressure to requirement.

CAUTION

6.0 MAINTENANCE
Under normal conditions, the Mechanical Diaphragm metering pumps should not require any significant

amount of maintenance. It is advised that periodic visual observations be made of the oil level to make sure
that it is over the worm gear. The liquid end of the pump should also be inspected for leakage. These
observations should be made regularly.

The Gear oil should be drained and replaced when necessary, removing the drain plug at the side of the
pump. This change can be scheduled with the normal factory maintenance at seasonal periods.

6.1.0 OIL CHANGE

6.1.1 Disconnect the power source to the drive motor

6.1.2 Relieve all pressure from the piping system.

6.1.3 Drain the oil by removing the drain plug at the lower rear side of the gearbox.

6.1.4 Replace the drain plug.

6.1. 5 Remove breather on the gearbox cover. (Or snap off the breather top and remove sponge)

6.1.6 Fill with oil.

6.1.7 Replace breather. (Or snap on the breather top after replacin g sponge)

6.2.0 CHECK VALVE REMOVAL CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT.
Should the valves need cleaning, remove as follows:

6.2.1 Disconnect the power source to the drive motor.

6.2.2 Relieve all pressure from the piping system.

6.2.3 Close the inlet and outlet shutoff valves.

6.2.4 Loosen and remove the suction and discharge valve cartridges slowly to drain any

6.3.0 LIQUID HEAD REMOVAL, INSPECTION, AND REINSTALLATION

CAUTION

If the diaphragm has failed, any process fluid would pass through the bleed hole located
behind the diaphragm. Handle any liquid with appropriate care.

Mechanical diaphragms should operate for approximately 2000 ho urs under normal operating
conditions; however, the accumulation of foreign material or debris and abnormal operating condition
or simply age can cause failure. Failure can also occur as a result of system over pressure. Periodic
diaphragm inspection and replacement are recommended.

6.3.1 Adjust the stroke setting to “0” percent and disconnect the power source to the drive
motor

6.3.2 Relieve all pressure from the piping system.

6.3.3 Take all precautions described under “Caution” to prevent environmental and personnel
exposure to hazardous materials.

6.3.4 Disconnect piping to the reagent head and drain any process liquid.

6.3.5 Place a pan underneath the pump head adaptor to catch any liquid leakage.

6.3.6 Remove all but two top reagent head bolt. Product will leak out between the pump head
adaptor and reagent head as the bolts are loosened.

6.3.7 Tilt the head and pour out any liquids retained by the check valves into a suitable
container, continuing to follow safety precautions as appropriate.

6.3.8 Remove the final bolt and rinse or clean the reagent head with an appropriate material.

6.3.9 Inspect the diaphragm and remove the diaphragm if necessary, by turning counter­clockwise. The diaphragm must be replaced if it is cracked, separated, or obviously
damaged.

6.3.10 To install a diaphragm, first ensure that the critical sealing areas of diaphragm, reagent
head, and pump head are clean and free of debris. Then lubricate the elastomer side of
the diaphragm liberally, where it is in contact against the intermediate chamber wall and
backup plate, with a lubricant (silicone grease is preferred).

6.3.11 Thread the diaphragm (clockwise) fully onto the shaft.

6.3.12 Install the reagent head bolts and tighten in an alternating pattern to ensure an even

pressure on all bolts.
