1.0 Introduction
1.1 General
This instruction manual contains necessary information on the TopGear pumps and must be read
carefully before installation, service and maintenance. The manual must be kept easily accessible to
the operator.
Important!
The pump must not be used for other purposes than recommended and quoted for without
consulting your local supplier.
Liquids not suitable for the pump can cause damages to the pump unit, with a risk of personal injury.
1.2 Reception, handling and storage
1.2.1 Reception
Remove all packing materials immediately after delivery. Check the consignment for damage
immediately on arrival and make sure that the name plate/type designation is in accordance with the
packing slip and your order.
In case of damage and/or missing parts, a report should be drawn up and presented to the carrier at
once. Notify your local supplier.
All pumps have the serial number
stamped on a name plate.
This number should be stated in
all correspondence with your local
supplier.
The first digits of the serial number
indicate the year of production.
Check the mass (weight) of the pump unit. All parts weighing more than 20 kg must be lifted using
lifting slings and suitable lifting devices, e.g. overhead crane or industrial truck. See section 6.6
Weights – Mass.
Always use two or more lifting slings. Make sure
1.2.3 Storage
If the pump is not commissioned immediately, the shaft should be turned a full turn once every week.
they are secured in such a way as to prevent
them from slipping. The pump unit should be in a
straight fashion.
This ensures a proper distribution of the conservating oil.
Never lift the pump unit with only two fastening points. Incorrect lift can cause personal injury and/or damage to the pump unit.

1.3 Safety
1.3.1 General
Important!The pump must not be used for other purposes than recommended and quoted for without
consulting your local supplier.
A pump must always be installed and used in accordance with existing national and local sanitary
and safety regulations and laws.
When ATEX pump/pump unit is supplied, the separate ATEX manual must be considered
• Always wear suitable safety clothing when handling the pump.
• Anchor the pump properly before start-up to avoid personal injury and/or damage to the pump
unit.
• Install shut-off valves on both sides of the pump to be able to shut off the inlet and outlet before
service and maintenance. Check to see that the pump can be drained without injuring anyone
and without contaminating the environment or nearby equipment.
• Make sure that all movable parts are properly covered to avoid personal injury.
• All electrical installation work must be carried out by authorized personnel in accordance with
EN60204-1 and/or local regulations. Install a lockable circuit breaker to avoid inadvertent
starting. Protect the motor and other electrical equipment from overloads with suitable
equipment. The electric motors must be supplied with ample cooling air.
In environments where there is risk of explosion, motors classified as explosion-safe must be
used, along with special safety devices. Check with the governmental agency responsible for
such precautions.
• Improper installation can cause fatal injuries.
• Dust, liquids and gases that can cause overheating, short circuits, corrosion damage and fire
must be kept away from motors and other exposed equipment.
• If the pump handles liquids hazardous for person or environment, some sort of container must
be installed into which leakage can be led. All (possible) leakage should be collected to avoid
contamination of the environment.
• Keep arrows and other signs visible on the pump.
• If the surface temperature of the system or parts of the system exceeds 60°C, these areas must
be marked with warning text reading ”Hot surface” to avoid burns.
• The pump unit must not be exposed to rapid temperature changes of the liquid without prior pre-
heating/pre-cooling. Big temperature changes can cause crack formation or explosion, which in
turn can entail severe personal injuries.
• The pump must not operate above stated performance. See section 3.5 Main characteristics.
• Before intervening in the pump/system, the power must be shut off and the starting device be
locked. When intervening in the pump unit, follow the instructions for disassembly/assembly,
chapter 4.0. If the instructions are not followed, the pump or parts of the pump can be damaged.
It will also invalidate the warranty.
• Gear pumps may never run completely dry. Dry running produces heat and can cause damage to
internal parts such as bush bearings and shaft seal. When dry running is required, the pump has
e.g. to be run a short time with liquid supply.
Note! A small quantity of liquid should remain in the pump to ensure lubrication of internal parts.
If there is a risk for dry running for a longer period, install a suitable dry running protection.
Consult your local supplier.
• If the pump does not function satisfactorily, contact your local supplier.

1.3.2 Pump units
1.3.2.1 Pump unit handling
Use an overhead crane, forklift or other suitable lifting device.
Secure lifting slings around the
front part of the pump and the
back part of the motor. Make sure
that the load is balanced before
attempting the lift.
NB! Always use two lifting slings.
If there are lifting rings on both
the pump and the motor the slings
may be fastened to these.
NB! Always use two lifting slings.
Warning
Never lift the pump unit with
only one fastening point.
Incorrect lifts can result in
personal injury and/or damage
to the unit.
1.3.2.2 Installation
All pump units should be equipped with a locking safety switch to prevent accidental start during
installation, maintenance or other work on the unit.
Warning
The safety switch must be turned to off and locked before any work is carried out on the pump unit.
Accidental start can cause serious personal injury.
The pump unit must be mounted on a level surface and either be bolted to the foundation or be fitted
with rubber-clad feet.
The pipe connections to the pump must be stress-free mounted, securely fastened to the pump and
well supported. Incorrectly fitted pipe can damage the pump and the system.
Warning
Electric motors must be installed by authorized personnel in accordance with EN60204-1. Faulty
electrical installation can cause the pump unit and system to be electrified, which can lead to fatal
injuries.
Electric motors must be supplied with adequate cooling ventilation. Electric motors must not be
enclosed in airtight cabinets, hoods etc.
Dust, liquids and gases which can cause overheating and fire must be diverted away from the
motor.
Warning
Pump units to be installed in potentially explosive environments must be fitted with an Ex-class
(explosion safe) motor. Sparks caused by static electricity can give shocks and ignite explosions.
Make sure that the pump and system are properly grounded. Check with the proper authorities
for the existing regulations. A faulty installation can lead to fatal injuries.

1.3.2.3 Before commissioning the pump unit
Read the pump’s operating and safety manual. Make sure that the installation has been correctly
carried out according to the relevant pump’s manual.
Check the alignment of the pump and motor shafts. The alignment may have been altered during
transport, lifting and mounting of the pump unit. For safe disassembly of the coupling guard see
below: Disassembly/assembly of the coupling guard.
Warning
The pump unit must not be used with other liquids than those for which it was recommended and
sold. If there are any uncertainties contact your sales representative. Liquids, for which the pump is
not appropriate, can damage the pump and other parts of the unit as well as cause personal injury.
1.3.2.4 Disassembly/assembly of the coupling guard
The coupling guard is a fixed guard to protect the users and operator from fastening and injuring
themselves on the rotating shaft/shaft coupling. The pump unit is supplied with factory mounted
guards with certified maximum gaps in accordance with standard DIN EN ISO 13857.
Warning
The coupling guard must never be removed during operation. The locking safety switch must be
turned to off and locked. The coupling guard must always be reassembled after it has been removed.
Make sure to also reassemble any extra protective covers. There is a risk of personal injury if the
coupling guard is incorrectly mounted.
a) Turn off and lock the power switch.
b) Disassemble the coupling guard.
c) Complete the work.
d) Reassemble the coupling guard and any other protective covers. Make sure that the screws are
properly tightened.
1.3.2.5 Name plate – CE Declaration of Conformity
Always quote the serial number on the name plate together with questions concerning the pump unit,
installation, maintenance etc.
When changing the operating conditions of the pump please contact your supplier to ensure a safe

3.2 Operating principle
Pump casing
As the rotor and idler gear unmesh, an underpressure
is created and the liquid enters the new created cavities.
Liquid is transported in sealed pockets to the discharge side.
The walls of the pump casing and the crescent are creating
a seal and separate suction from discharge side.
The rotor and idler gear mesh and liquid is being pushed
into the discharge line.
Reversing the shaft rotation will reverse the flow through the pump as well.
A.0500.351 – IM-TGH/07.02 EN (10/2015)
15
Page 16
3.2.1 Self-priming operation
TopGear pumps are self-priming when sufficient liquid is present in the pump to fill up the
clearances and the dead spaces between the teeth. (For self-priming operation see also section
3.18.6.2 Piping).
3.2.2 Safety relief valve – Working principle
The positive displacement principle requires the installation of a safety relief valve
protecting the pump against overpressure. It can be installed on the pump or in the installation.
This safety relief valve limits the differential pressure (∆p) between suction and discharge, not the
maximum pressure within the installation.
For example, as media cannot escape
when the discharge side of the pump is
obstructed, an over-pressure may cause
severe damage to the pump.
The safety relief valve provides an escape
path, rerouting the media back to the
suction side when reaching a specified
pressure level.
• The safety relief valve protects the pump against over-pressure only in one flow direction.
The safety relief valve will not provide protection against over-pressure when the pump rotates
in the opposite direction. When the pump is used in both directions, a double safety relief valve
is required.
• An open safety relief valve indicates that the installation is not functioning properly. The pump
must be shut down at once. Find and solve the problem before restarting the pump.
• When the safety relief valve is not installed on the pump, other protections against over-pressure
have to be provided.
• Note! Do not use the safety relief valve as a flow regulator. The liquid will circulate only through
the pump and will heat up quickly.
Contact your local supplier if a flow regulator is required.
3.3 Sound
TopGear pumps are rotary displacement pumps. Because of the contact between internal parts
(rotor/idler), pressure variations etc. they produce more noise than for example centrifugal pumps.
Also the sound coming from drive and installation must be taken into consideration.
As the sound level at the operating area may exceed 85 dB(A), ear protection must be worn.
See also section 3.7 Sound level.
3.4 General performance
Important!
The pump is calculated for the liquid transport as described in the quotation. Contact your local
supplier if one or several application parameters change.
Liquids not suitable for the pump can cause damages to the pump unit and imply risk of personal
injury.
Correct application requires that consideration be given to all of the following:
Product name, concentration and density. Product viscosity, product particles (size, hardness,
concentration, shape), product purity, product temperature, inlet and outlet pressure, RPM, etc.

3.6 Pressure
For performance on pressure, three kinds of pressures must be considered:
Differential pressure or working pressure (p) is the pressure on which the pump normally
operates. The maximum differential pressure for all TopGear H-range pumps is 16 bar.
Maximum allowable working pressure (p.m) is the pressure on which the pump casing is
designed and that can been achieved occasionally when the operating pressure rises over the
normal operating pressure e.g. when the pump run with open relief valve.
In the TopGear H-range the design pressure is 20 bar i.e. 4 bar higher than the maximum
differential pressure. It ensures higher safety such as is required in API676 for rotary positive
displacement pumps.
The hydrostatic test pressure = 30 bar is the pressure on which the pump casing is tested.
The test pressure is 1.5 times the design pressure.
Following figure gives a graphical presentation of the several kind of pressures.
30 bar
20 bar
16 bar
3.7 Sound level
3.7.1 Sound level of a pump without drive
Sound pressure level (LpA)
The following table gives an overview of the A-weightened sound pressure level, L
a pump without drive, measured according to ISO3744 and expressed in decibels dB(A). The
reference sound pressure is 20µPa.
The values depend on the position from where one measures and were therefore
measured at the front of the pump, at distance of 1 meter from the pump cover and
were corrected for background noise and reflections.
The values listed are the highest measured values under following operating conditions.
Sound power level (LWA)
The sound power LW is the power emitted by the pump as sound waves and is used to compare
sound levels of machines. It is the sound pressure Lp that act on a surrounding surface at distance of
1 meter.
LWA = LpA + Ls
The A-weightened sound power level LWA is also expressed in decibels dB(A).
The reference sound power is 1 pW (= 10
distance of 1 metre from the pump, expressed in dB(A) and is listed in the last column of above
table.
3.7.2 The sound level of the pump unit
The sound level of the drive (motor, transmission, . . .) must be added to the sound level of the pump
itself to determine the total sound level of the pump unit. The sum of several sound levels must be
calculated logarithmically.
For a quick determination of the total sound level the following table can be used:

For more than two values this method can be repeated.
Example:Drive unit : L1 = 79 dB(A)Pump : L2 = 75 dB(A)

According to the table : L

3.7.3 Influences
The real sound level of the pump unit can for several reasons deviate from the values listed in the
tables above.
• Noise production decreases when pumping high viscosity liquids due to better lubricating and
damping properties. Moreover the resistance torque of the idler is increasing due to higher liquid
friction which results in lower vibration amplitude.
• Noise production increases when pumping low viscosity liquids combined with low working
pressure because the idler can move freely (lower charge, lower liquid friction) and the liquid
does not damp much.
• Vibrations in piping, vibrating of the base plate etc. will make the installation produce more noise.

3.10.2 Maximum temperature of internals
For some material combinations the general temperature performances must be limited.
The maximum allowable working temperature of internals depends on the combination of used
materials and their thermal expansions and the interference fit to hold the bearing bush fixed.
• Some bush bearings have an extra locking screw. In this case the maximum allowable
temperature is based on the most probable interference fit.
• In case the bearing bush has no locking screw because material and construction do not allow
concentrated stress the maximum allowable temperature is based on the minimum interference
fit.

3.10.3 Operation under hydrodynamic lubrication conditions
Hydrodynamic lubrication could be important criteria for bush material selection.
If the bush bearings are running under the condition of hydrodynamic lubrication there is no more
material contact between bush and pin or shaft and the lifetime cycle is increased importantly.
If there is no condition for hydrodynamic lubrication, the bush bearings make material contact with
pin or shaft and the wear of these parts is to be considered.
The condition of hydrodynamic lubrication is fulfilled
with the following equation:
Viscosity * shaft speed / diff.pressure ≥ K.hyd
with: viscosity [mPa.s]
shaft speed [rpm]
diff.pressure [bar]
K.hyd = design constant for each pump size.
3.10.4 Maximum torque of pump shaft and rotor material combination
The maximum allowable torque is a constant independent from speed and may not be exceeded to
avoid damaging the pump i.e. pump shaft, rotor/shaft fitting and rotor teeth.
Mn (nominal torque) in NmMd (starting torque) in Nm
The nominal torque (Mn) has to be checked for the normal working conditions and the installed
nominal motor torque (Mn.motor) but converted to the pump shaft speed.
The starting torque (Md) may not be exceeded during start up. Use this value for the maximum torque
set of a torque limiter if installed on the pump shaft.

3.16.3 Mechanical seals
3.16.3.1 Mechanical seals according to EN12756 (DIN24960) – General information
In TopGear TG H version GS, short type KU or long type NU mechanical seals can be built in.
In the smallest pump sizes H2-32 and H3-32 only the short type KU can be built in.
In the double seal versions GG and GD only the short type KU can be built in. A double
mechanical seal consist of two separately chosen single mechanical seals.
If GD type back-to-back double mechanical seal is chosen, attention must be paid for axial
securing of the first stationary seat. Our pumps are provided for built in the axial securing of the
stationary seat according to EN12756 (DIN24960). The exact securing ring must be delivered by
the mechanical seal manufacturer together with the seals because the dimensions must be adapted
to the form of the seat.

Performance
Maximum performance such as viscosity, temperature and working pressure depends on the make of
the mechanical seal and the used materials.
The following basic values can be taken into consideration.
* Kalrez® is a registered trademark of DuPont Performance Elastomers
Maximum viscosity for GS and GG type
3000 mPas: For single mechanical seals of light construction e.g. Burgmann MG12
5000 mPas: For mechanical seals of strong torque construction (consult manufacturer).
The maximum allowed viscosity between the sliding faces of the mechanical seal depends on the
nature of the liquid (Newtonian, plastic etc.), the sliding speed of the seal faces and the mechanical
construction.
Maximum viscosity for GD type back-to-back double seal
In contrast to single mechanical seals (GS) or double seals in tandem arrangement (GG) the sliding
faces of the GD mechanical seal are lubricated by a barrier fluid under pressure which allows high
viscous liquids to be pumped.
Second sealing box type GG and GD maximum temperature and pressure
Maximum temperature of the second mechanical seal box: 250°C
Maximum allowable pressure of the second mechanical seal box: 16 bar.
Note! The pressure before the first mechanical seal at pumped medium side is lower than the
discharge pressure.
Food applications
Special demanded Burgmann M7N (SiC-SiC seal faces and FDA approved FPM o-rings) seals can
be used in food applications. Each one of these special demanded Burgmann M7N seals have a
“confirmation for FDA-requirements” like the one in the “Declaration of Compliance for food contact
materials” (see last pages of this manual).
3.16.3.2 Cartridge mechanical seals
In TopGear H ranges Universal Cartridge mechanical seals could be built in from pump size
H6-40 to H360-150.
Several functions and more complicated constructions e.g. gas seals, API conformity etc. are
possible. Contact your local supplier if you have a special application or special questions.
The end plate or the gland of the cartridge mechanical seal must be adapted to the built in
dimensions of the TopGear pump. See figure next page.
3.16.4 Reverted packing execution for e.g. chocolate application
For chocolate pumping applications the PR version is designed.
The pump shaft is sealed by means of packing rings and the bronze shaft bearing is placed outside
the pumped medium and is designed to work as a packing gland. Because of the fact that, under
normal conditions, the shaft bearing does not come into contact with the pumped medium, bronze
can be used as material.
The bush bearing is greased by an external grease supply. The grease has to be provided by the end
user because of compatibility with the pumped liquid.
Depending of the type of chocolate extra clearances are given on Rotor, Idler, Pump cover and Idler
bush bearing. For extra clearances see 3.13.

Reverted packing (improved execution)
On this improved execution, the gland packing area can be filled with grease from the outside before
the pump is actually started. This prevents the chocolate from entering this area until the packing is
properly adjusted. Otherwise, in case chocolate with sugar content is entering the gland packing
area, it would caramelize/burn at the inside and the shaft sealing would become immediately uneffective even if the gland is tightened harder afterwards. To allow this pre-lubrication of the gland
packing area, we have added a lantern ring with external grease nipple behind the first packing ring.
Please note that the lubricant must be food-approved and compatible with the product pumped.
Note! The packing is lightly tightened by hand at the factory. When pumping chocolate, the packing
needs to be tightened bit by bit at the initial start-up in order to achieve the utmost minimum
of leakage, just enough to lubricate the packing rings. Excessively leaking chocolate can
overheat in the packing, causing caramelisation, resulting in extra wear of the packing.

3.17.3 Safety relief valve – Relative adjustment
Adjustment of the standard setting pressure is performed at the factory.
Note! When testing the safety relief valve mounted on the pump, make sure the pressure never
exceeds the set pressure of the valve + 2 bar.
To adjust the standard opening pressure, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the tap bolts (7310).
2. Remove cover (7050).
3. Take the measurement of dimensions of H.
4. Read spring ratio in the below table and determine the distance over which the adjusting bolt
(7320) must be loosened or tightened.
Example: adjust the standard set pressure of a V35-G10 valve (for pump size 58-80) to 8 bar.
F Standard set pressure of V35-G10 = 11 bar (see table under 3.18.1)F Difference between actual set pressure and desired set pressure = 11 - 8 = 3 barF ∆H to loosen the adjusting bolt = 3 x 1.52 mm (see table above) = 4.56 mm
Note!
The spring ratio p/f depends upon the dimensions of the spring. Check these dimensions if
necessary (see table above).
When the safety relief valve is not functioning properly, the pump must immediately be taken out of
service. The safety relief valve must be checked by your local distributor.
This manual gives basic instructions which are to be observed during installation of the pump. It
is therefore important that this manual is read by the responsible personnel prior to assembly and
afterward to be kept available at the installation site.
The instructions contain useful and important information allowing the pump/pump unit to be properly
installed. They also contain important information to prevent possible accidents and serious damage
prior to commissioning and during operation of the installation.
Non-compliance with the safety instructions may produce a risk to the personnel as well as to the
environment and the machine, and results in a loss of any right to claim damages.
It is imperative that signs affixed to the machine, e.g. arrow indicating the direction of rotation or
symbols indicating fluid connections is observed and kept legible.
3.18.2 Location
3.18.2.1 Short suction line
Locate the pump/pumpunit as close as possible to the liquid source and if possible below the liquid
supply level. The better the suction conditions, the better the performance of the pump. See also
section 3.18.6.2 Piping.
3.18.2.2 Accessibility
Sufficient room should be left around the pump/pump unit to allow proper inspection, pump
isolation and maintenance.
Sufficient space should be left in front of the pump to enable disassembly of the pump cover, idler
and idler pin.
• For loosening pump cover refer to ma
• For disassembling rotating parts (pump shaft and sealing) refer to mb
• To adjust pressure of safety relief valve refer to mc
For dimensions of ma, mb, mc see chapter 6.0.

3.18.2.3 Outdoor installation
The TopGear pump may be installed in the open, the ball-bearings are sealed by rubber V-joints
protecting the pump against dripping water. In very wet conditions we advice to install a roof.
A.0500.351 – IM-TGH/07.02 EN (10/2015)
35
Page 36
3.18.2.4 Indoor installation
Locate the pump so that the motor can be vented properly. Prepare the motor for operation
according to instructions provided by the motor manufacturer.
When flammable or explosive products are pumped, a proper earthing should be provided. The
components of the unit should be connected with earthing bridges to reduce the danger arising from
static electricity.
Use explosion free or explosion proof motors according to local regulations. Provide suitable
coupling guards and suitable couplings.
Excessive temperatures
Depending on the fluid being pumped, high temperatures may be reached inside and around the
pump. From 60°C onwards the responsible person must provide the necessary protective means
and place “Hot surfaces” notices.
When insulating the pump unit, ensure that adequate cooling is allowed from the bearing housing.
This is required for cooling of the bearings and grease of the bearing bracket
(see 3.18.9.7 Guarding of moving parts).
Protect the user against leakages and possible liquid streams.
3.18.2.5 Stability
Foundation
The pump unit must be installed on a base plate or on a frame placed exactly level on the foundation.
The foundation must be hard, level, flat and vibration free to guarantee correct alignment of the
pump/drive while operating. See also section 3.18.9 Guidelines for assembly and section 3.18.9.6
Shaft coupling.
Horizontal mounting
Pumps are to be mounted horizontally on the integral feet. Other kinds of installation have an
influence on draining, filling and functioning of the mechanical seal, etc. If the pump/pump unit is
installed differently, contact your local supplier.
Support
Nevertheless the feet underneath the pump
casing make the pump very stable, an extra
support is placed under the bearing bracket.
Especially when driven by V-belt and/or a
combustion engine this extra support close to
the coupling is needed. It is designed to absorb
the belt forces and vibrations whilst letting the
pump shaft expand freely along its axis.
3.18.3 Drives
If a bare shaft pump is supplied, the user is responsible for the drive and the assembling with the
pump. The user also must provide guarding of moving parts. See also section 3.18.9 Guidelines for
assembly.
3.18.3.1 Starting torque
• The starting torque of internal gear pumps is almost identical to the nominal torque.
• Take care that the motor has a sufficiently large starting torque. Therefore choose a motor with a
capacity 25% higher than the pump power consumption.
Note! A mechanical variable speed drive requires checking of the available torque at low and high
speed.
• Frequency invertors may have limited the starting torques.
• Also verify that the maximum allowable torque at the pump shaft is not exceeded (see section
3.10.4). In critical cases a torque-limiting device such as a slip or break coupling can be
provided.

Fr
3.18.3.2 Radial load on shaft end
The shaft end of the pump shaft may be loaded in radial sense with the maximum radial force (Fr).
See table.
• This force is calculated on the maximum allowable torque and the maximum allowable working
pressure of the pump.
• In case a direct drive with a flexible coupling is used, the indicated force will not be exceeded
when pump and drive are well aligned.
• Starting with the TG H15-50, V-belt drive can be used.
In case of V-belt driveThe maximum allowable radial force Fr as indicated in the table may be chosen higher but
must be calculated case by case in function of pressure, torque and size of the pulley. Consult
your local supplier for advice.
3.18.4 Shaft rotation for pump without safety relief valve
The shaft rotation determines which port of the pump is suction and which is discharge.
The relation between the shaft rotation and the suction/discharge side is indicated by the rotation
arrow plate attached at the top cover of a pump without safety relief valve.
132
1 Direction of rotation of pump shaft
2 Suction side
3 Discharge side
Note! Shaft rotation is always viewed from the shaft end towards the pump.
Unless otherwise specified on the order, TopGear pumps are built at the factory for clockwise
rotation (left figure above), which we define as the standard direction of rotation.
The small arrows 2 and 3 indicate the flow direction of the pumped liquid.
Always make sure that shaft rotation corresponds with the position of the discharge and suction
ports and the direction indicated by the rotation arrow plate.
If the shaft rotation is correct in relation to the port position but different from the direction indicated
by rotation arrow plate, the top cover must be disassembled and turned around by 180°. The two
suck-back grooves will help to evacuate air or gases during start-up or whilst running. As they only
function in one direction of rotation, the
top cover should be positioned in such
a way that the suck-back grooves are
placed towards the suction side.In case
of doubt, contact your local distributor.
If the pump rotates in both directions,
the top cover should be positioned in
such a way that the suck-back grooves
are placed towards the most used
suction side.

If the shaft rotation is correct in relation to the port position but different from the direction indicated
by rotation arrow plate, the safety relief valve must be disassembled and turned around by 180°.
If the pump rotates in both directions, a double safety relief valve is required.
When a double safety relief valve is installed three arrow plates are attached – one on each valve

The two suck-back grooves will help to evacuate air or gases during start-up or whilst running. As
they only function in one direction of rotation, the Y-casing should be positioned in such a way that
the suck-back grooves are placed towards the most used suction side.
In case of doubt, contact your local distributor.
Be sure that the safety relief valves are mounted opposite each other so that the arrow plates on the
safety relief valves (A and B) are indicating opposite liquid flow directions.

3.18.6 Suction and discharge pipes
3.18.6.1 Forces and moments
Note! Excessive forces and moments on the nozzle flanges derived from piping can cause
mechanical damage to pump or pump unit.
Pipes should therefore be connected in line, limiting the forces on the pump connections.
Support the pipes and make sure they remain stress-free during operation of the pump.
on a solid foundation (e.g. grouted base plate or solid frame).
When pumping hot liquids attention should be given to forces and moments caused by thermal
expansion in which case expansion joints should be installed.
Check after connecting whether the shaft can move freely.
3.18.6.2 Piping
• Use piping with an equal diameter than the connection ports of the pump and shortest possible.
• The pipe diameter has to be calculated in function of the liquid parameters and the installation
parameters. If necessary use larger diameters to limit pressure losses.
• If the fluid to be pumped is viscous, pressure losses in the suction and discharge lines may
increase considerably. Other piping components like valves, elbows, strainers, filters and foot
valve also cause pressure losses.
• Diameters, length of piping and other components should be selected in such a way that the
pump will operate without causing mechanical damage to the pump/pump unit, taking into
account the minimum required inlet pressure, the maximum allowable working pressure and the
installed motor power and torque.
• Check the tightness of the pipes after connection.
Suction piping
• Liquids should preferably enter the pump from a level higher than the pump level. In case the
liquid should be sucked from a level lower than the pump level, the inclining suction pipe should
rise upwards towards the pump without any air pockets.
• A too small diameter or a too long suction pipe, a too small or blocked strainer will increase
pressure losses so that the NPSHa (NPSH available) becomes smaller than the NPSH
(NPSH required).
Cavitation will occur, causing noise and vibrations. Mechanical damage to pump and pump unit
is not excluded.
• When a suction strainer or filter is installed pressure losses in the suction line must be checked
constantly. Also check if the inlet pressure at the suction flange of the pump is still sufficiently
high.
• When the pump works in both directions, pressure losses must be calculated for both directions.

Self-priming operation
At the start sufficient liquid must be available in the pump filling up the internal clearance volume and
the dead spaces, allowing the pump to build up a pressure difference.
Therefore, for pumping low viscosity fluids, a foot valve with the same or larger diameter than the
suction pipe must be installed or the pump can be installed without foot-valve but in U-line.
Note! A foot valve is not recommended when pumping high viscous liquids.
• To remove air and gases from suction line and pump, counter pressure at the discharge side
must be reduced. In case of self-priming operation, start-up of the pump should be performed
with open and empty discharge line allowing air or gases to escape at low back pressure.
• Another possibility in case of long lines or when a non-return valve is installed in the discharge
line, is to install a by-pass with isolating valve close to the discharge side of the pump. This valve
will be opened in case of priming and allows air or gas evacuation at low back pressure.
The bypass should be lead back to the supply tank – not to the suction port.
3.18.6.3 Isolating valves
To allow proper maintenance it is necessary to be able to isolate the pump. Isolation can be done by
installing valves in suction and discharge lines.
• These valves must have a cylindrical
passage of the same diameter of the
piping (full bore). (Gate or ball valves
are preferable).
• When operating the pump, the valves
must be opened completely. The
output must never be regulated by
means of closing valves in suction or
discharge pipes.
It must be regulated by changing shaft
speed or by re-routing the media over
a by-pass back to the supply tank.

By-pass

Piping
3.18.6.4 Strainer
Foreign particles can seriously damage the pump. Avoid the entry of these particles by installing a
strainer.
• When selecting the strainer attention should be given to the size of the openings so that
pressure losses are minimised. The cross-sectional area of the strainer must be three times that
of the suction pipe.
• Install the strainer in such a way that maintenance and cleaning are possible.
• Make sure that the pressure drop in the strainer is calculated with the right viscosity. Heat the
strainer if necessary to reduce viscosity and pressure drop.
For the maximum allowable particle size see section 3.15.

4. Jacket around the shaft seal
Connect the supply and the return line to both connections on the intermediate casing. A drain plug
is provided in the intermediate casing at the bottom side (Bg). In case of steam supply this drain can
be connected to a drain line to evacuate condensed water.
Note!After connection check the tightness of the heating circuit and vent it properly.
5. Jackets on safety relief valve – around spring casing
The jackets on the safety relief valve are designed for
use with saturated steam (max 10 bar, max 180°C) or with
non-dangerous media (max 10 bar, max 200°C). They are
provided with threaded connections Bo (see chapter 6.0
for dimensions). The connection can be done with threaded
pipes or pipe connections with sealing in the thread (conical
thread applying ISO 7/1). Thread type see section 3.21.7.
In case of steam supply, connect the supply line at the highest position and the return line to the
lowest position so that condensed water will be drained via the lowest line. In case of liquid supply,
the positions are not important.
3.18.8 Flush/quench media
When the shaft sealing needs flushing or quenching, it is the responsibility of the user to select the
appropriate media and to provide the necessary piping and accessories (valves, etc.) which are
necessary to ensure a proper functioning of shaft seal.
When installing a flush or quench circuit always use the lowest connection as inlet and the highest
one as outlet (in case of two side connection). This will facilitate the evacuation of air or gases if any.
Bo
3.18.8.1 Packing
Flush/Quench media selection
Attention should be given to the compatibility of the pumped liquid with the flush/quench media.
Choose the sealing liquid so that unwanted chemical reactions are avoided. Also check the
chemical resistance and the maximum allowable temperature of the materials of construction
and the elastomers. In case of doubt, contact your local supplier.
Shaft gland packing can be quenched using one connection or flushed using two connections via
the lantern ring of the stuffing box.
One quenched connection
Quench media is fed to one connection when:
• In the case of a self-priming pump air suction through the packing (3000) has to be avoided
or when packing rings need lubrication in order to avoid running dry. Connect the lantern ring
(2020) to the discharge flange or to another liquid via Bd or Bi.

• When at a high discharge pressure packing (3000) must be relieved. Connect the suction flange
via Bd or Bi.
Be sure the pressure in the lantern ring area is above atmosphere pressure to avoid air sucking
through the last packing rings which makes the packing running dry.
• The pumped liquid must be quenched to avoid contact with the atmosphere (when this liquid
is corrosive or poisonous) or when build up of residues of abrasive liquids against the packing
must be avoided.
Connect a clean, different liquid (e.g. water) via Bd or Bi at a pressure which is higher than the
pressure existing before the packing.
A slight quantity of this liquid will leak into the process liquid.
Two flushed connections
Flushing media requires two connections to provide in and out. This arrangement is used:
• To drain leaking or to cool or heat packing (3000). Connect inlet with Bc or Bi and outlet with
Bd or Bj. Both pumped liquid and another media can be used as flush media.
3.18.8.2 Single Mechanical seal
To guarantee lubrication and cooling of the sliding faces, let a media circulate along the mechanical
seal. Proceed as follows:
One connection point
• Connect suction or discharge flange with connection Bd or Bi.
Two connection points
• Connect discharge flange with connection Bd or Bi and suction flange with connection Bc.
• Provide piping with accessories to reduce flow.
• In case of either one or two connection points, Bc can be used as filling and air release plug.

Axial locking ring at the first mechanical seal
This locking ring prevents the static part of the mechanical seal from being pushed out of its seat
in case quench pressure (B) falls back or drops out.
This locking ring must be adapted to the static ring and must be delivered together with the
mechanical seal.
Some mechanical seals are designed in such a way that the stationary ring can not be pushed out
of its seat. In that case, there’s no need to fit a locking ring.

3.18.9 Guidelines for assembly
When a bare shaft pump is delivered, the assembly with drive is the responsibility of the user.
The user also must provide all necessary devices and equipment allowing a safe installation and
commissioning of the pump.
3.18.9.1 Transport of pump unit
• Prior to lifting and transporting a pump unit, make sure that the packaging is of sturdy enough
construction is and will not be damaged during transport.
• Use crane hooks in the base plate or the frame. (See chapter 1.0.)

3.18.9.2 Foundation pump unit
The pump unit must be installed on a base plate or on a frame placed exactly level on the foundation. The foundation must be hard, level, flat and vibration free in order to guarantee the alignment of
pump/drive while operating. (See section 3.18.2.5)
3.18.9.3 Variators, Gear box, Gear motors, Motors
Consult the supplier’s instruction manual included with the delivery.
Contact the pump supplier if the manual is not included.
A.0500.351 – IM-TGH/07.02 EN (10/2015)
47
Page 48
3.18.9.4 Electric motor drive
• Before connecting an electric motor to the mains check the current local regulations of your
electricity provider as well as the EN 60204-1 standard.
• Leave the connecting of electric motors to qualified personnel. Take the necessary measures
to prevent damage to electrical connections and wiring.
Circuit breaker
For safety work on a pump unit, install a circuit breaker as close as possible to the machine. It also
is advisable to place an earth leakage switch. The switching equipment must comply with current
regulations, as stipulated by EN 60204-1.
Motor overload protection
To protect the motor against overloads and short-circuits a thermal or thermo-magnetic circuit
breaker must be incorporated. Adjust the switch for the nominal current absorbed by the motor.
Connection
• Do not use a star-delta circuit with electric motors due to the required high starting torque.
• For single-phase alternating current, use motors with a “reinforced” starting torque.
• Ensure a sufficiently high starting torque for frequency-controlled motors and adequate
cooling of the motor at low speeds. If necessary, install a motor with forced ventilation.
Electrical equipment, terminals and
components of control systems may
still carry live current when at rest.
Contact with these may be fatal,
resulting in serious injury or cause
irreparable material damage.

3.18.9.5 Combustion engines
When using a combustion engine in the pump unit, see the engine instruction manual included in the
delivery. Contact the pump supplier if the manual is not included.
Irrespective of this manual the following must be respected for all combustion engines:
• Compliance with local safety regulations
• The exhaust of combustion gases must be screened to avoid contact
• The starter must be uncoupled automatically once the engine has started
• The pre-set maximum number of engine revolutions may not be modified
• Before starting the engine, the oil level must be checked

Page 49
3.18.9.6 Shaft coupling
Internal gear pumps demand a relatively high starting torque. During the operation shock loads are
occurring due to pulsations inherent to the gear pump principle. Therefore, choose a coupling which
is 1.5 times the torque recommended for normal constant load.
Alignment
The pump and motor shafts of complete units are accurately pre-aligned in the factory.
After installation of the pump unit, the pump and motor shaft alignment must be checked and
re-aligned if necessary.
Alignment of the coupling halves may only take place by moving the electric motor!
1 Place a ruler (A) on the coupling. Remove or add as many shims
as is necessary to bring the electric motor to the correct height so
that the straight edge touches both coupling halves over the entire
length, see figure.
2 Repeat the same check on both sides of the coupling at the height of
the shaft. Move the electric motor so that the straight edge touches
both coupling halves over the entire length.
3 To be certain the check is also undertaken using external callipers
(B) at 2 corresponding points on the sides of the coupling halves,
see figure.
4 Repeat this check at operating temperature and spend time achieving minimum alignment
deviation.
5 Fit the protecting guard. See the figure below and the corresponding table for the maximum
allowed tolerances for aligning the coupling halves.
Belt drive
Belt drives also increase the loading on the shaft end and the bearings. Therefore, certain limitations
must be imposed on the maximum load of the shaft, viscosity, pumping pressure and speed.
3.18.9.7 Guarding of moving parts
Before commissioning the pump, place a protective guard over the coupling or belt drive. This guard
must comply with the EN 953 design and construction standard.
For pumps operating at temperatures above 100°C, ensure that bearing bracket and bearings are
cooled sufficiently by the surrounding air. Openings in the bearing bracket must not be guarded
if the rotating parts do not have any projections (keys or keyways) which could cause injury (see
prEN809). This simplifies the inspection and maintenance of the shaft seal.

3.19 Instructions for start-up
3.19.1 General
The pump can be put into service when all arrangements described in chapter 3.18 Installation have
been made.
• Prior to commissioning, responsible operators have to be fully informed on proper
operation of the pump/pump unit and the safety instructions. This instruction manual
must at all times be available to the personnel.
•Prior to commissioning, the pump/pump unit must be checked for visible damage.
Damage or unexpected changes must be reported immediately to the plant operator.
3.19.2 Cleaning the pump
There may be residual mineral oil inside the pump deriving from the pump testing and the initially
lubricating of the bearing bushes. If these products are not acceptable for the pumped liquid, the
pump should be cleaned thoroughly. Proceed as described in section 3.21.2.8 Draining of fluid.
Remark: pumps made for food applications are preserved with a food grade oil. The oil used is
a NSF H3 approved oil (soluble). Nevertheless the oil is NSF H3 approved, the pump
should be cleaned thoroughly before the initial start-up.
3.19.2.1 Cleaning suction line
When the TG pump is put into service for the first time, suction line must be cleaned thoroughly.
Do not use the pump. The TG pump is not meant to pump low viscosity liquids with impurities.
3.19.3 Venting and filling
To operate properly the pump should be vented and filled
with the liquid to be pumped before the initial start-up:
• Unscrew the filling plug Bb, Bc, Be and Bd.
Fill up the pump with the liquid to be pumped.
At the same time the pump will be vented.
• Tighten the filling plugs.
• When the TG pump is brought into service
for the first time or in case new gaskets are
mounted, bolts that compress gaskets must
after 3 - 4 days be tightened again
(for tightening torques see section 3.21.3.1).

3.19.4 Checklist – Initial start-up
After thorough servicing or when the pump is to be put into service for the first time
(initial start-up) the following checklist must be observed:
Supply and discharge line
c Suction and discharge pipes are cleaned.
c Suction and discharge pipes are checked for leaks.
c Suction pipe is protected properly to prevent the ingress of foreign bodies.
Characteristics
c The characteristics of the pump unit and safety relief valve to be checked
(pump type – see name plate, RPM, working pressure, effective power, working
temperature, direction of rotation, NPSHr etc.).
Electrical installation
c Electrical installation complies with local regulations
c Motor voltage corresponds with mains voltage. Check terminal board.
c Make sure that the starting torque is sufficiently high (no star/delta starting will be used).
c Motor protection is adjusted properly.
c Direction of motor rotation corresponds with direction of pump rotation.
c Motor rotation (detached from unit) is checked.
Safety relief valve
c Safety relief valve (on pump or in piping) is installed
c Safety relief valve is positioned correctly. Flow direction of safety relief valve
corresponds with suction and discharge lines.
c Make sure a double safety relief valve is installed when the pump has to operate in two
directions.
c The set pressure of the safety relief valve is checked (see nameplate).
Jackets
c Jackets are installed.
c Maximum pressure and temperature of the heating/cooling media have been checked.
c The appropriate heating media or coolant is installed and connected.
c The installation complies with the safety standards.
Shaft sealing
c Heating or cooling circuit has been checked for leakages.
c Pressure, temperature, nature and connections of flush or quench media has been checked.
c If a double mechanical seal mounted in back-to-back configuration, buffer media must be
pressurized prior to starting the pump.
c When using the PR-version (reverted packing) for chocolate applications:
The packing is lightly tightened by hand at the factory. When pumping chocolate, the packing
needs to be tightened bit by bit at the initial start-up in order to achieve the utmost minimum of
leakage, just enough to lubricate the packing rings. Excessively leaking chocolate can overheat in
the packing, causing caramelisation, resulting in extra wear of the packing. Check if the external
grease supply is into service in order to lubricate the bush bearing at the start-up.
Drive
c Alignment of pump, motor, gearbox etc. is checked.
A.0500.351 – IM-TGH/07.02 EN (10/2015)
51
Page 52
Protection
c All guards and safety devices (coupling, rotating parts, excessive temperature) are in place
and operative.
c In case of pumps that may reach working temperatures of 60°C or more, ensure sufficient safety
guards against occasional touching are in place.
3.19.5 Start-up
When the pump is to be put into service the following checklist and procedure must be observed:
c Pump is filled with liquid.
c Pump is sufficiently preheated.
c Quench media is present. Can it circulate freely?
(Attention: If you have a GD-configuration, is the seal pressurized?)
c Suction and discharge valves are fully open.
c Start the pump for a short while and check the direction of rotation of the motor.
c Start the pump and check suction of liquid (suction pressure).
c RPM of the pump is checked.
c Discharge pipe and seal are checked for leaks.
c Proper operation of the pump is verified.
c If leakage (PO and PQ versions) of gland packing is too heavy, adjust (tighten) the gland
pressure.
When using the PR-version (reverted packing) for chocolate applications, the packing needs to
be tightened bit by bit at the (initial) start-up in order to achieve the utmost minimum of leakage,
just enough to lubricate the packing rings. Excessively leaking chocolate can overheat in the
packing, causing caramelisation, resulting in extra wear of the packing. Check if the external
grease supply is into service in order to lubricate the bush bearing at the start-up.
3.19.6 Shut-down
When the pump is to be put out of service the following procedure must be observed:
c Turn the motor off.
c Close all auxiliary service lines (heating/cooling circuit, circuit for flush/quench medium).
c If solidifying of the liquid must be avoided, clean the pump while the product is still fluid.
Also see section 3.21 Maintenance instructions
Note! When the liquid flows back from the discharge pipe to the pump, the pump may rotate in the
opposite direction. Closing the discharge line valve during the last rotation cycles can prevent this.
3.19.7 Abnormal operation
Note! In case of abnormal operation or when troubles occur the pump must be taken out of service
immediately. Inform all responsible personnel.
c Prior to restarting the pump, determine the reason for the problem and solve the problem.

must be created during on-site maintenance.
3.21.2.2 Tools
For maintenance and repairs use only technically appropriate tools that are in good condition.Handle
them correctly.
3.21.2.3 Shut-down
Before commencing the maintenance and inspection activities the pump must be taken out of
service. The pump/pump unit must be fully depressurized. If the pumped fluid permits, let the pump
cool down to the surrounding temperature.
3.21.2.4 Motor safety
Take appropriate steps to prevent the motor from starting while you are still working on the pump.
This is particularly important for electric motors that are started from a distance.
Follow the below described procedure:
• Set the circuit breaker at the pump to “off”.
• Turn the pump off at the control box.
• Secure the control box or place a warning sign on the control box.
• Remove the fuses and take them with you to the place of work.
• Do not remove the protective guard around the coupling until the pump has come to a
complete standstill.
3.21.2.5 Conservation
If the pump is not to be used for longer periods:
• First drain the pump.
• Then treat the internal parts with VG46 mineral oil or other preservering liquid (e.g. food grade oil
for food applications).
• The pump must be operated briefly once a week or alternatively the shaft must be turned a
full turn once a week. This ensures proper circulation of the protective oil.

3.21.2.6 External cleaning
• Keep the surface of the pump as clean as possible. This simplifies inspection, the attached
markings remain visible and grease nipples are not forgotten.
• Make sure cleaning products do not enter the ball bearing space. Cover all parts that must not
come into contact with fluids. In case of sealed bearings, cleaning products must not attack
rubber gaskets. Never spray the hot parts of a pump with water, as certain components may
crack due to the sudden cooling and the fluid being pumped may spray into the environment.
3.21.2.7 Electrical installation
• Maintenance operations on the electric installation may be performed only by trained and
qualified personnel and after disconnecting the electric power supply. Carefully follow the
national safety regulations.
Respect the above-mentioned regulations if performing work while the power supply is still
connected.
• Check if electrical devices to be cleaned have a sufficient degree of protection (e.g. IP54 means
protection against dust and splashing water but not against water jets). See EN 60529. Choose
an appropriate method for cleaning the electrical devices.
• Replace defective fuses only with original fuses of the prescribed capacity.
• After each maintenance session check the components of the electrical installation for visible
damage and repair them if necessary.
3.21.2.8 Draining of fluid
• Close off the pressure and suction lines as close as possible to the pump.
• If the fluid being pumped does not solidify, let the pump cool down to the ambient
temperature before drainage.
• For fluids that solidify or become very viscous at ambient temperature, it is best to empty the
pump immediately after shutting down by separating it from the piping. Always wear safety
goggles and gloves.
• Protect yourself with a protective cap. The fluid may spray out of the pump.
• Open the venting plugs Be, Bb, Bc and Bd.
• If no drain line is provided,
take precautions so that the liquid is
not contaminating the environment.
• Open the drain plug Ba at the bottom
of the pump housing.
• Let drain the liquid by gravity.
• Purge pump spaces with flush media or
cleaning liquid by connecting a purge
system to the following inlet openings:
- Ba, Be: the displacement part
- Ba, Bb: space behind rotor
- Ba, Bd: space behind bearing bush and first
mechanical seal in case of GS, GG and GC
shaft sealing versions
- Ba, Bc: space behind bearing bush and before the
mechanical seal box in case of GD shaft
sealing version
- Bc, Bd: packing area and lantern ring in case of PQ
shaft sealing version
• Re-assemble the plugs and close the valves, if any.

3.21.2.9 Fluid circuits
• Depressurize the jackets and the retaining fluid circuits.
• Uncouple the connections to the jackets and to the circulating or flush/quench media circuits.
• If necessary, clean the jackets and the circuits with compressed air.
• Avoid any leakage of fluid or thermal oil into the environment.
3.21.3 Specific components
3.21.3.1 Nuts and bolts
Nuts and bolts showing damage or parts with defective threading must be removed and replaced
with parts belonging to the same fixation class as soon as possible.
• Do not expose components made of rubber or plastic (cables, hoses, seals) to the effects of oils,
solvents, cleaning agents or other chemicals unless they are suitable.
• These components must be replaced if they show signs of expansion, shrinkage, hardening or
other damage.
3.21.3.3 Flat gaskets
• Never re-use flat gaskets.
• Always replace the flat gaskets and elastic rings under the plugs with genuine spares from SPX.
3.21.3.4 Filter or suction strainer
Any filters or suction strainers at the bottom of the suction line must be cleaned regularly.
Note! A clogged filter in the suction piping may result in insufficient suction pressure at the inlet.
Clogged filter in the discharge line may result in higher discharge pressure.
3.21.3.5 Anti-friction bearings
TG H2-32 and TG H3-32 pumps are equipped with 2RS ball bearings which are grease packed for
life. They do not require periodically greasing.
Starting with pump size TG H6-40, the pumps are equipped with ball bearings which could be
greased periodically through a grease nipple at the bearing cover.

GulfCrown Grease No.2Crown Grease No.3TotalMULTIS EP 2 (*)
The standard “multi-purpose” grease (consistent class NLGI-2) is suitable for temperatures up to
120°C.
For higher temperatures the standard grease should be replaced by a high temperature grease
(consistent class NLGI-3). This grease is, depending on the make, suitable for temperatures up to
150°C or 180°C.
When a pump will be applied in a system or under conditions facing extremely high or low
temperatures, the selection of the proper lubricant and correct lubrication interval should be
made in consideration with your grease supplier.
Do not mix different grades, different makes of grease together. Such a mix can cause severe
damage. Consult your local grease supplier.
Relubrication
• Starting with pump size TG H6-40, the ball bearings require lubrication through the grease
nipple every 5000 running hours or every 12 months (which occurs first).
• Add a correct grade of grease (see 3.21.3.5). Do not overfill (see table below).
TG H pump typeBearing typeGrease quantity (gram)

The ball bearing type 2RS are grease filled for life and need not to be relubricated.
Both ranges ISO 3000 range and American AFBMA 5000 range are possible and have the
same built in dimensions.
• When the anti-friction bearing has been relubricated 4 times it needs to be cleaned.
Replace the old grease with new one or renew the anti-friction bearings.
• In the case of high temperatures, anti-friction bearings must be relubricated every 500 to 1000
running hours:
- when using grease of NLGI-2 class: for service temperatures > 90°C
- when using grease of NLGI-3 class: for service temperatures > 120°C
• When the load is extremely high, in case the grease looses much oil, anti-friction bearings
need relubrication after each peak service. We recommend relubricating while the pump is still
operating but after the peak load has occurred.
3.21.3.6 Sleeve bearings
We recommend checking the pump regularly for wear on the gear wheels and sleeve bearings to
avoid excessive wear of other parts.
• A quick check can be done by using the front pull-out and
back pull-out system. See table for maximum allowable
radial clearance of the sleeve bearings.
• For replacement of the sleeve bearings contact your local
supplier.

C. Reverted packing PR
When pumping chocolate, the packing needs to be tightened bit by bit at the (initial) start-up
in order to achieve the utmost minimum of leakage, just enough to lubricate the packing rings.
Excessively leaking chocolate can overheat in the packing, causing caramelisation, resulting
in extra wear of the packing. If the packing leaks excessively or when the pump needs serve,
the old packing rings must be replaced. This can only be done by disassembling bearing and
bearing bracket.
Regularly check the external grease supply in order to make sure that bush bearing is sufficiently
greased, especially at start-up. Pay attention to the compatibility of the grease with the pumped
liquid.
D. Mechanical seal
If the mechanical seal leaks excessively, it must be replaced with one of the same type.
Note! The materials of the mechanical seal are selected strictly in accordance with the nature of
the pumped liquid and the operating conditions. Thus the pump must only handle the liquid
for which it was purchased. If the liquid or operating conditions are changed, a mechanical
seal suitable for the new operating conditions must be fitted.
3.21.4 Front pull-out
The TG-pumps also have a front pull-out
system. To remove liquid residues or to check
the idler bearing for wear, the pump cover can
be pulled out from the pump housing without
disconnecting suction and discharge pipes.
See chapters 4.0 Disassembly/Assembly and
section 6.6 Weights.
3.21.5 Back pull-out
To flush the pump or to check the sleeve
bearing for wear the bearing bracket with
intermediate casing, shaft and rotor can
be easily pulled out backwards without
disconnecting the suction and discharge
pipes. When a spacer coupling is used, the
driving mechanism need not be moved.
See chapters 4.0 Disassembly/Assembly and
section 6.6 Weights.
3.21.6 Clearance adjustment
The TG-pumps are delivered with the correct axial clearance setting. In some cases, however,
the axial clearance needs to be adjusted:
• When uniform rotor and idler wear need to be compensated.
• When the flow is too low pumping low viscous liquids and the
slip has to be reduced.
• When the liquid is more viscous than expected, the friction
inside the pump can be reduced by increasing the axial
clearance.
3. The pump shaft with roller bearing and
rotor will be pushed against the pump
cover. The axial clearance is then zero.
4. Install a gauge on the bearing bracket.
5. Position the feeler gauge against the
shaft end and initialise the gauge.
6. Loosen the bolts (1540) and tighten
the set screws (1480) thus pushing rotor
and roller bearing backwards.
7. Tighten the set screws until the distance
between shaft end and bearing bracket has
been increased by the required clearance.
8. Lock the shaft again by tightening the bolts (1540).
The set clearance may be changed again. Therefore,
when pushing the shaft end backwards,
the clearance should be enlarged by 0.02 mm.

4.5 Anti-friction bearings
4.5.1 General
• Never re-use a disassembled bearing or a disassembled lock plate!
• For disassembly and assembly of the bearing (and coupling).
use correct tools in order to inspect the pump without any
shock loads. Shocks can damage the crisp material of
bush bearings and mechanical seal.
• The anti-friction bearing has an interference fit on
the pump shaft and a clearance fit in the bearing bracket.
• The anti-friction bearing can easily be mounted
when heated to 80°C so that it slides on the pump shaft.
• Always push on the inner ring of the bearing. Pushing on
the outer ring may damage the rolling parts
between rotor and shaft.
• Support pump shaft at rotor side, not the rotor!
Axial force on rotor - pump shaft may damage
the shrunk connection.
• Anti-friction bearings type 2RS of TG H2-32
and TG H3-32 are sealed and greased for life.
Bearings of the other pump sizes
are to be greased at the cage.
Note! Add a correct grade and the appropriate type of grease. Do not overfill.

• Check the sealing face of both valve seat (7110) and valve (7010).
• In case of a slightly damaged surface, this can be rubbed with an appropriate emery paste.
In case of severe damage however, valve seat (pay attention to shrink fit) and valve must be
replaced.
• Always mount a correct type of spring with the original dimensions and an appropriate
adjusting screw (see section 3.17.3).
• Fit spring casing (7040) and bolts (7300).
• Fit adjusting screw (7320) and nut (7330), screwing the adjusting screw to measured
distance H.
• Fix this position by tightening the nut (7330).

4.7 Mechanical seal
Guidelines for assembly and adjustment of the mechanical seal – pump types GS, GG and GD.
4.7.1 General
• All personnel responsible for maintenance, inspection and assembly must be adequately
qualified.
• Use specific instructions coming with the mechanical seal which is to be assembled/adjusted.
• The assembling and adjusting of mechanical seals must be performed in a clean workshop.
• Use technically appropriate tools that are in good condition. Handle them correctly.
4.7.2 Preparation
Check if the mechanical seal to be mounted has the appropriate size and construction and verify
if it can be assembled according to the following instructions:
• Adjusting dimensions are based on standard EN12756 (DIN24960) mechanical seals, on
standard axial clearance and standard pump parts.
• With pump versions GS, GG (except sizes TG H2-32 and TG H3-32) the length of the
first mechanical seal can be equal to that of EN (DIN) L1K (short version) or that of EN (DIN)
L1N (long version). The second mechanical seal of version GG always has a short length equal
to DIN-L1K. The TG H2-32 and TG H3-32 allow only short L1K EN12756 (DIN24960)
mechanical seals.
• Version GD always has both mechanical seals with the short length equal to EN (DIN) L1K.
• If the mechanical seal length is not according to EN12756 (DIN24960) the built-in length and
distance have to be recalculated (with the aid of data given in table 4.7.7.1).
• With double mechanical seal version GD (back to back) problems can occur when assembling a
seal which is shorter than L1K. In such cases some parts will have to be changed.
• Assemble the mechanical seal with pump in a vertical position with the pump cover downwards.
Follow the assembling sequence as described below.
• The mechanical seal has to be adjusted without axial clearance between pum pcover and rotor.
Both rotor and shaft are pushed against the pum pcover.
- The standard axial clearance is included in the adjusting distance X and Y (for X see table
4.7.7.1 and for Y see table 4.7.3).
- Check the shaft surface. Protect any sharp edge with tape or any other appropriate tool.
4.7.3 Special tools
• Conical protection bush (9010).
• Adjusting plate for adjusting distance Y=1 mm (9020) for version GG.
• Adjusting tools for adjusting distance Y (9040) for version GD.
• Adjusting blocks of different height to compose adjusting height X (versions GS and GG).
• Set of tap bolts for temporary fixation of the seal cover or tools (9030 and 9050).
• Recommended lubricant: OKS477 (also appropriate for EP rubber)
• Shammy

4.7.4 General instructions during assembly
• Do not touch the mechanical seal faces with hand or fingers. Fingerprints can make the
mechanical seal untight. Clean the seal faces if necessary. Use a shammy.
• If the mechanical seal faces are made of non self-lubricating material, it is recommended to
lubricate the faces a little with the pumped liquid or with thin oil. Do not use grease!
• Lubricate the O-rings when assembling. Take care of compliance of the lubricant and the
rubber material. Never use mineral oil using EP rubber O-rings.
• When fitting PTFE sealings the shaft must be very smooth. Assembly of solid PTFE sealings can
be facilitated by heating the stationary ring in water at 100°C during 15 minutes. Preassemble the rotary ring on a dummy shaft and heat both ring and shaft in water at 100°C
during 15 minutes. Then let everything cool off. To be tight, PTFE seals must rest for approx.
2 hours, so that the O-ring remains in its new shape.
• In cases where the mechanical seal is provided with fixing screws to fix the rotating part on the
shaft, it is recommended to screw out the fixing screws, degrease both holes and screws and
lock them with Loctite (usual type 241 or heat-resistant type 648).
• If the mechanical seal is not provided with a set screw - e.g. Sealol type 043, or Burgmann
MG12, a set ring with set screws must be provided. Take the set screws out of the set ring and
degrease both holes and screws of the set ring.
Remark: The set ring that is delivered by SPX guarantees a reliable fixation. There is no danger it
will be loosened by alternating loads. SPX cannot guarantee a reliable fixation with other set rings.
4.7.5 Assembly of the stationary seat
1. Fit the stationary seat(s) into the casing.
2. Use appropriate tools to push the seat perpendicularly
in its housing.
3. Protect the seat face with a piece of paper or hardboard and
lubricate the rubber sealing elements with a lubricant.
This will facilitate the assembly.
Attention: Do not use mineral oil for EP rubber.
4. Check the perpendicularity of the seat face to the
shaft-rotating axis after assembling.
4.7.6 Assembly of the rotating part
1. Lubricate the shaft a little with a lubricant.
Attention for EP rubber: Do not use mineral oil!
2. Protect the sharp edges of the shaft with tape or another protecting tool.
3. Use a conical assembling bush (9010) on the shaft step (see figure).
4. Push the rotating parts against the adjusting shoulder or set ring.
5. Provide the set screws with a drop heat-resistant Loctite and fit the set screws in the rotating
part. Tighten the screws.

4.7.7 Adjustment of mechanical seal
4.7.7.1 GS – Single mechanical seal
1. Mechanical seal without set screws (e.g. Sealol type 043 and Burgmann type MG12)
– Pump size TG H2-32 and TG H3-32
The mechanical seal is mounted against a shoulder ring (2090), see figure.
Adjusting is not necessary if the built in length of the mechanical seal corresponds
to EN12756 (DIN24960) L1K length. If the mechanical seal built in length is shorter than L1K
the shoulder ring width must then be adapted to the correct built in length.
2090
2200
Assembly of a mechanical seal without set ring
2. Mechanical seal fixed on pump shaft by means of set screws
A. Sizes TG H2-32 and TG H3-32
To be able to assemble and to adjust those types of mechanical seal the jacket cover (0400)
and plugs (0460) must be removed as shown in the figure below.
In general the shoulder ring (2090) cannot be used because the fixed width of the shoulder ring
does not allow the narrow tolerances necessary for this type of mechanical seal.
Adjust first the rotating part of the mechanical seal and fix it on the pump shaft by means
of the set screws. Once adjusted and fixed the assembling can be continued as shown in the
figure. Seal the plugs (0460) with a resin sealant suitable for higher temperature (e.g. Loctite
648). Adjusting method is the same as for the bigger pumps and is described in the next
paragraphs.

Page 71
B. Sizes TG H6-40 to TG H360-150
The mechanical seal must always be adjusted and fixed on the pump shaft by means of set
screws. For mechanical seal without set screws (e.g. Sealol, type 043 and Burgmann type
MG12) a special set ring with fixing screws (3030 and 3040) must be used for adjusting the
mechanical seal on the pump shaft.
1. Measure distance A.
2. Look for distance X in table. If length of mechanical seal differs from standard L1K or
L1N, recalculate X with data from table on page 71.
3. Place the pre-mounted pump cover (0030) on the working bench.
4. Mount gasket (1100).
5. Place at equal distance 2 or 3 adjusting distance blocks of height X on the gasket (1100).
Height accuracy of X passes in steps of 0.25 mm.
6. Mount the pump casing (0010).
7. Mount idler with bush (0600) and rotor with shaft (0700).
8. Push the rotor with shaft against the pump cover (0030).
9. Assemble the rotating mechanical seal part (3010) or the set ring (3030).
10. Tighten set screws and secure screws with Loctite.
11. If a set ring (3030) is used, mount the rotating part of the mechanical seal (3010) now.
12. Remove the distance blocks.
13. Assemble the pump cover (0030) with the aid of bolts.
14. Check the smoothness of the seal faces. Clean face if necessary.
15. Lubricate the face with a drop of thin oil or pumped liquid. Do not lubricate a carbon face!
16. Assemble gasket (2080) and mechanical seal cover (2200) with the pre-mounted seat.

4.7.7.4 GC – Mechanical seal cartridge
A. General
1. Clean the shaft and casing and check if sealing faces are in good condition.
Use always a new gasket (2080) that is in good condition.
Ensure that the auxiliary connection openings are in the good position and accessible for use.
For exact position, see the figures and detailed instructions in the next paragraphs.
2. Lubricate the O-ring inside the shaft sleeve (for lubricant see sections 4.7.4 and 4.7.5).
Use a conical assembling bush (9010) on the shaft step (see section 4.7.6).
Put the cartridge on the shaft and assemble to the pump casing.
3. Bolt the cartridge seal plate securely to the pump housing.
To allow the shaft turning during assembling remove the black coloured assembling jig but
keep the non-coloured jigs in place. The jigs secure the right axial position of the
mechanical seal and center the shaft sleeve.
4. Continue assembling of the pump and adjust axial pump clearance (see section 3.21.6).
5. Fix the shaft sleeve of the cartridge seal to the pump shaft by means of the fixing set screws.
Secure the set screws with Loctite. Once the cartridge is fixed to the pump shaft and to the
pump housing all assembling jigs must be removed. Keep the jigs in a safe place to reassemble
the cartridge seal in case of disassembly for repair.
6. Plastic caps on threaded connection openings should be removed before commissioning.
7. Take the necessary safety precautions to prevent injuries during operation and maintenance by
accident, e.g. liquid or steam emissions, contact with rotating parts and hot surfaces.
B. Single mechanical seal cartridge Burgmann QN3 and TN3
1. Position the cartridge according to the next figures.
2. Position the drain connection of the TN3 (1x NPT 1/8) always to the bottom.
3. On QN3 cartridge the drain connection (1x NPT 1/8) must always be plugged off or connected
to a closed drain line. The normal position is to the bottom and allows drainage of quench liquid.
4. If turned to the top the opening NPT 1/8 can be used as a vent but in that case the bracket must
be provided by an extra access hole.

1. The steam can been connected to one G1/4 opening at the left or the right side of the bracket.
The opposite G1/4 opening must be plugged off.
2. A condense line can been connected to the NPT 1/8 opening if any; otherwise allow this
NPT 1/8 opening to open so allowing steam to expel into the atmosphere.
Steam pressure must be released in such a way that only a small stream of steam is expelled into
to the atmosphere.
3. Take the necessary safety precautions to prevent injuries by steam during operation and
maintenance.

C. Double Mechanical seal cartridge Burgmann DN3
1. Position the cartridge according to fig DN3.
2. Position the G1/4 openings marked OUT and IN according to the direction of rotation of the
pump shaft. To define the exact direction of rotation look on the pump shaft (see also 3.18.4).
The OUT opening must be positioned at the highest top position to allow evacuation of air and
gases.
3. In case the pump shall run in both directions of rotations the OUT and IN opening shall be
placed following the most used or most critical direction of rotation. In case of doubt consult
your supplier or Burgmann.

4. Always provide a liquid quench.
If the liquid quench is non-pressurized or the pressure is lower than the pressure in the shaft seal
box the double mechanical seal acts as a tandem seal arrangement.
If the liquid quench is pressurized the double mechanical seal acts as a back to back
arrangement. In such cases the pressure of the liquid quench must be 10% higher than the
maximum pressure in the shaft seal box.
Do not give too much over pressure i.e. 1.5 bar above pressure of the shaft seal box is
recommended as maximum.
Under normal circumstances the pressure in the shaft seal box is equal to the suction pressure
plus the half-differential pressure (∆p). In case of doubt measure the pressure in the shaft seal
box or consult your supplier.
5. For arrangement of liquid quench see 3.18.8.3 (non-pressurized quench) and 3.18.8.4
(pressurized quench) or consult your pump supplier or Burgmann.
78
Remark: Double cartridge mechanical seals can also be delivered for gas quench
(= special execution). In such cases, follow the special instructions that will
be received with the cartridge.
D. Triple lip-seal cartridge
The entire cartridge can be disassembled from the bareshaft pump as one single seal unit.
Further disassembly of the unit requires an SPX service intervention and/or support.
