Quattroflow quaternary diaphragm pumps are constructed according to the state of the art and they are
reliable. Imminent danger by operating error or misuse can lead to damages of properties and/or
persons. The pumps are to be applied for the intended use and in a safety-related proper condition only.
1.2. Storage
In general the Quattroflow pump is delivered operational and packaged. If the unit is not installed right
away, proper storage conditions are important for a trouble free operation later. The pump has to be
protected from wetness, coldness, dirtying, UV-radiation and mechanical influences. The following
storage conditions are recommended:
- Steady ventilated, dust and vibration free storage room
- Ambient temperature between 15°C (59°F) and 25°C (77°F) with a relative humidity below 65%
- Prevention of direct thermal influences (sun, heating)
1.3. Labelling of the pump
The ALMATEC Maschinenbau GmbH is certified as a modern, quality-orientated enterprise according
to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and 14001:2015. Before release for dispatch, any Quattroflow pump has to
undergo an extended final control. The performance data registered during this are archived in our
records and can be read back at any time.
As a general rule in the countries of the EU only such machines are allowed to take into operation, which
are determined to meet the regulations of the EU machinery directive, the harmonized standards,
European standards and the respective national
standards. Hence the operator has to verify whether
the Quattroflow pump manufactured and delivered
properly according to the customers order meets
the mentioned requirements.
Therefore make sure, before putting the pump into
operation, that the pump and the used materials of
construction are suitable for the provided
application and the installation site.
The type label of each Quattroflow pump can be
seen on the bottom of the base plate. Besides the
serial number of the pump head is fixed at the front
cover.
QF4400SU; edition 2018-11; page 3 of 19
2. Description of the QF4400SU pump
2.1. Appropriate use
The Quattroflow 4400SU is a 4-piston Diaphragm pump, which is mainly used to pump water-like fluids
that are typically handled in research-, pilot plant- or production facilities of the pharmaceutical, biotech,
food or cosmetic research centers or plants.
Examples:
Solutions containing proteins (albumin, IgG, Clotting factors, monoclonal antibodies, enzymes,
vaccines.)
Solutions of polymers or suspensions (silicon, latex, chromatography media)
Cell suspensions (bacteria, yeast, algae, fungi, mammalian cells)
Colloidal solutions
Suspensions of viruses or phage
Dairy products
Gelatine
Supplements and ingredients for cosmetic and food
Typical applications for the QF4400SU
- Filtration technology:
To recirculate feed/retentate (e.g. membrane cassettes, hollow fibre, spiral wound, ceramic
elements)
Feed pump for filter cartridges or plate and frame depth filters
- Chromatography:
Packing of chromatography columns
Feed pump to mix gradients
- Feed pump for centrifuges or separators
- Feed pump for homogenizers
- Feed pump for filling machines
2.2. General description of the machine
The Quattroflow 4400SU pump is a 4-piston diaphragm pump. The four segments of the pump
diaphragm oscillate back and forth. This alternate movement is created by a connector plate that is
arranged on a ball bearing. The ball bearing sits on an eccentric shaft. The connector plate does not
turn!
The stroke of the pistons is determined by the angle of the eccenter. There are eccentric shafts with 6°
available.
Range of flow rate: 150-5000 L/h (40-1321 gph). For the compact model QF 4400 HT with integrated
controller please see chapter 2.4.
Please note:
The orientation of in- and outlets can be adjusted by turning the pump chamber in 90° steps.
The Quattroflow 4400SU 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.
QF4400SU; edition 2018-11; page 4 of 19
The pump-motor unit is mounted on a stainless steel base plate. In case that the pump will not be
mounted on the base plate but in a frame or any other base measures have to be taken that there will
be a proper alignment of the motor and the pump.
2.3. Start-up
Before start-up of the pump anyone should acquaint oneself with the explanations of the chapter
troubleshooting (see page 15). Only by this the defect quickly can be 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 flush the pump with a proper fluid (e.g. water or buffer).
Prior to the very first use it might make sense to sanitize the pump chamber. A commercial caustic
solution 0.1N to 0.5N NaOH can be applied. The solution can be recirculated and also stored inside the
pump chamber. Check with appropriate analytical methods the success of the flushing procedure..
Recommendation: Test run prior first use!
Before using your pump in your process perform a test run to get used to the specific
properties of the pump.
Please note: ALMATEC Maschinenbau GmbH is also building custom-made pumps and set-ups.
These modified pumps can be different from this one that is described in here. However the basic
information is applicable to all of the Quattroflow 4400SU Series pumps. Please do not hesitate to
contact us for further information.
Pay attention to a sufficiently dimensioned piping. A too small piping of the
suction line can cause cavitation as well as a loss of performance.
If hoses were used in the suction line, make sure that they do not collapse due
to the negative pressure.
When installing the pump please consider that around the pump enough space
is available for operation and maintenance. Pay attention to the required space
needed for assembly and disassembly of the pump chamber (see 4.1.1.).
During start-up pay attention to the warning and safety instructions of the
following chapter 3 of this manual.

2.5. Cleaning
Cleaning of the single-use pump chamber is not provided, since they are replaced after use.
2.6. Autoclave
To autoclave a non-installed pump chamber we recommend the following steps.
1. Removal of the single use pump chamber from the package.
2. Close in and outlet of the pump e.g. by connecting hoses. Ensure that a free interchange of
gas and steam over a sterile barrier (e.g. sterile filter) at in- and outlet is available.
3. Autoclaving of the prepared pump chamber in a vacuum autoclave at max. 130°C (266°F) for
max. 30 min. Follow instructions of the autoclave manufacturer.
4. After cooling down, the screws of the membrane housing cover and the connectors should be
verified and retorqued if necessary. The corresponding screws are marked and shown in the
attached picture. The screw below the clamp ring (see dashed arrow) is accessible using a
short allen key (5 mm; e.g. from Wera Tools, Code 05022045001).
Please make sure that the pump chamber is not placed on the clamp ring during the
autoclave process. The clamp ring should not be loaded during autoclaving.
2.7. Gamma Irradiation
The single use pump chamber can be gamma irradiated with a maximum dose of 50 kGy.
QF4400SU; edition 2018-11; page 7 of 19
3. Safety
These operating instructions contain basic hints to be observed during installation, operation and
maintenance. Therefore, prior to mounting and commissioning, these operating instructions must by all
means be read by the fitter as well as the pertinent expert personnel/customer and must always be
available at the place of installation of the pump. Not only are the general safety hints listed under this
item “Safety” to be observed, but also the special safety hints in other chapters.
3.1. Labels at the pump
Marking labels at the pump e.g.
- pmax 4 bar
- Fluid connections
- Direction of flow
must not be removed and has to be readable.
3.2. Qualification of the personnel
The customer is responsible for ensuring that all maintenance, inspection and mounting
operations are performed by authorized and qualified expert personnel who have
sufficiently informed themselves by thoroughly studying the operating instructions.
3.3. Responsible working
Please follow strictly the safety guidelines of this manual, as well as all national and
possible internal regulations (e.g. the handling of chemicals, like caustic or acid, the
handling of biological materials, the handling of tubing, piping, instrumentation, fittings
etc.
3.4. Dangers in case of noncompliance with the safety instructions
In case of non-compliance with the safety instructions may cause danger to personnel,
equipment and environment.
It can cause for example:
o Failure of the proper function of the pump/system
o Failure of required procedures for maintenance
o Danger to personnel by electrical, mechanical, chemical, biological impacts
o Danger to equipment and environment through leakage of dangerous substances
3.5. Safety hints for the operator
o In case of hot parts protective measures have to be taken.
o Protecting covers of moving parts (e.g. coupling, cover of motor) must not be
removed.
o Leakages of dangerous products have to be handled without any danger for
persons and environment. Statutory regulations must be observed.
o Dangers by electrical energy are to be excluded (for details please refer to the
regulations of the VDE and the local energy supply associations)
QF4400SU; edition 2018-11; page 8 of 19
3.6. Safety instructions for maintenance, inspection and mounting
operations
o Basically, operations at the pump must be performed during standstill only.
The motor has to disconnect from the power supply, e.g. by pulling out the
power plug or using a repair switch, and has to secure against unintentional
switch-on. This can be realized by a lockable emergency switch. To prevent
an accidental re-starting a danger sign should be installed.
o The operator must ensure that all maintenance, inspection and installation work is
performed by authorized and qualified skilled personnel acquainted themselves
with this manual.
o Before starting to disassemble the pump, take care that the pump has been
emptied, rinsed, depressurized and disconnected at all phases of the power
supply. Both ports piping are to be closed and drained if applicable. If the pump is
being deported from the plant, a reference about the delivered liquid has to be
attached.
o Pumps or aggregates handling noxious fluids (e.g. caustic, bio hazardous) must
be decontaminated. Immediately following completion of the work, all safetyrelevant and protective devices must be re-installed and/or re-activated. Before
putting the pump back into operation, take care of the mentioned instructions of
the chapter “start-up” and check the tightness of the pump.
o Please respect the relevant additional security advices, 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.
o Especially when deliver critical liquids, wear parts, like diaphragms, should be
replaced within a preventive maintenance.
o Procedure for pump return: According to the requirements of our 14001-
certification, every unit which is send to ALMATEC for diagnosis or maintenance
reasons has to be accompanied by a filled out decontamination-sheet. Otherwise
a processing is not possible. The decontamination-sheet is enclosed to this
manual. Please pay attention to the further safety regulations.
3.7. Unauthorized reconstruction and spare part usage
The use of non-original Quattroflow spare parts or not authorized accessories and
reconstructions lead to the lapse of the warranty immediately. When operating such a
pump, damages of properties and/or persons cannot be excluded..
3.8. Inadmissible modes of operation
A safety operation of the pump is ensured only by an appropriate use according to the
specific data of the enclosed pump data sheet. The values limitations given in the data
sheet must not be exceeded.
QF4400SU; edition 2018-11; page 9 of 19

3.9. Further warning and safety instructions
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 of the pump and/or any danger to
personnel
The maximum allowed discharge pressure depends on the temperature of the fluid:
pmax at room temperature = 4 bar (>40°C = 4 bar). An exceeding of the maximum
allowed discharge pressure must avoid in any case (do not remove the warning sign
at the pump). As a result – if only temporarily – of an exceeding of the allowed
discharge pressure the diaphragm can be damaged. The resulting leakage may lead
to a loss of the pumping fluid and damages of properties and/or persons. Pay
attention to a sufficiently dimensioned piping on the suction and discharge line to
prevent a too high pressure in the pump. The pump chamber may not be set under
pressure when it is not mounted on the drive.
The free cross section of the suction side as well as the length must be measured in
such a way to avoid cavitation.
The 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 flow restriction in the discharge line to avoid any over
pressure (e.g. closed valve).
Flush the pump prior to use with appropriate fluid (e.g. buffer).
Foundation design: The 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 Quattroflow pump it is highly
recommended to check case by case if the pump will be the right tool for the specific
application. The user/operator is responsible to perform a proper method of testing if
the pump should be applied for his specific application. The chemical and thermal
compatibility of the elastomeric parts of the pump with the fluid that will be pumped
are to be checked by the operator before the first process run. E.g. Oily, fatty fluids 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.
The control box should not be exposed to spray/splash water or to heat sources.
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
different 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.
The Quattroflow pump is a positive displacement pump and can theoretically generate
an infinitely 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. The design of
the discharge line must not build up a pressure of > 4 bar (58 psi).
If suction and/or discharge line are flexible 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 fluids (wear
gloves and/or glasses) before the pump chamber will be opened.
Never operate the pump without coupling protection and motor housing.

4. Maintenance/Servicing of the QF4400SU
Due to the robust construction the Quattroflow pump are widely maintenance-free. The ball bearings do
not need any extra lubrication.
We recommend the following maintenance intervals for the different pump parts:
In case of a broken diaphragm the complete pump chamber should be replaced. In this case the ball
bearings of the drive shaft should be verified. For corrosion reasons or a clearly audible operating noise
the parts of the bearing service kit should be also replaced. (PSKITWLC44).
Please follow the general guidelines and safety advices when
handling with chemicals.
Disconnect mains supply before opening the pump housing!
Basically, operations at the pump must be performed during standstill only. The motor
has to disconnect from the power supply, e.g. by pulling out the power plug or using a
repair switch, and has to secure against unintentional switch-on. This can be realized by
a lockable emergency switch. To prevent an accidental re-starting a danger sign should
be installed..
After purging the pump with air there might be a small residual
amount of fluid inside the pump chamber.
Flush the pump chamber thoroughly and check the rinse fluid.
The dismounting and mounting of the pump should be done on a
rigid table or work bench. Please note: the pump is heavy.
All further warning and safety instruction of chapter 3 has to be
respected.
