hose are c onnected to the suction and discha rge lines
17
DESCRIPTION
(C). A bearing-mounted rotor (D) with two facing
integral pressing shoes (E) is in the centre of the pump
head.
In phase 1 the lower shoe compresses the pump hose
by the rotational movement of the rotor, forcing the fluid
through the hose. As soon as the shoe has passed, the
hose recovers to its original shape due to the
mechanical properties of the material.
In phase 2 the product is drawn into the hose by the
(continuous) turning motion of the rotor.
In phase 3, the second integral pressing shoe will
subsequently compress the pump hose. Due to the
continuous rotating movement of the rotor not only new
product is sucked in, but also the already present
product is pressed out by the shoe. When the first shoe
runs from the pump hose, the second shoe has already
closed the pump hose and the product is prevented
from flowing back . T his m ethod of liquid displacement is
also known as the "positive displacement principle".
18
4.4Pump hose
4.4.1General
A:Outer extruded layer made of natural rubber
B:Two nylon reinforcement layers
C:Inner extruded liner
The pump hose liner material should be chemically
resistant with the product to be pumped. Dependent on
the specific requirements of your application a
corresponding pump hose must be selected. For each
pump model various hose types are available.
The material of the inner liner of the pump hose
determines the hose type. Each hose type is marked by
a unique colour code.
Consult your Bredel representative for
more detailed information about the chemical and temperature resistance of pump
hoses.
The Bredel pump hoses have been carefully machined,
therefore there are minimum tolerances in wall
thickness. It is very important to guarantee the cor rect
compression of the pump hose, because:
•When the compression is too high, it creates a
too high load of the pump and pump hose,
which may result in a reduction of the life of the
pump hose and bearings.
19
DESCRIPTION
•When the compression is too low, this will result
in loss of capacity and backflow. Backflow
results in a reduction of the life of the pump
hose.
4.4.2Hose compression force adjustment
The compression force of the pump hose can be
adjusted by installing a rotor with a different dimension
between the tips of the integral pressing shoes. The
rotor is chosen to achieve an optimal life of the pump
hose for the intended us e of th e hos e pu mp . If yo u w ant
to change the application of your hose pump, contact
your Bredel representative .
4.4.3Lubrication and cooling
The pumphead, in which the rotor and pump hose can
be found, is filled with Bredel Genuine Hose Lubricant.
This lubricant lubricates the movement between the
hose and the pressing shoes and dissipates the
generated heat via the pump housing and the cover.
The lubricant is food grade. See §11.1.4 for the
required quantity an d NSF registration.
Consult your Bredel representative for
lubrication recommendations when operating the hose pump below 2 rpm.
4.5Gearbox
The hose pump types described in this manual use
helical gearbox units. The gearboxes are fitted with a
flange connection. Refer to § 11.2 for specifications. If
the pump is to be used in potentially explosive
atmospheres, refer to chapter 10.
20
4.6Electric motor
If the electric motor has been standard supplied by the
manufacturer, it is a standardized squirrel-cage motor.
Refer to § 11.3 for specifications. If the pump is to be
used in potentially explosive atmospheres, refer to
chapter 10.
4.7Frequency controller
Refer to the also s upp lie d documentation of the supplier
and § 11.4. If the pump is to be used in potentially
explosive atmospheres, refer to chapter 10.
4.8Available options
The following options are available for the hose pump:
•High (lubricant) level float switch
•Revolution counter
•Low, medium, or high pressure rotor
•Rotor and coupling for heavy duty

5.1Unpacking
When unpacking carefully follow the instructions as
given on the packaging or on the hose pump.
5.2Inspection
Check that yo ur deliv ery is c orrect an d check i t for any
transport damage. Refer to § 4.1.1. Report any damage
immediately to your Bredel representative.
5.3Installation conditions
5.3.1Ambient conditions
Make sure that the hose pump is in an area where the
ambient temperature during operation is not lower than
-20 °C and not higher than +45 °C.
5.3.2Set-up
•The pump materials and protective layers are
suitable for indoor set-up and a protected
outdoor set-up. Under certain conditions the
pump is suitable for limited outdoor set-up or a
salty or aggressive atmosphere. Consult your
Bredel representative for more information.
•Make sure that the floor surface is horizontal
and has a maximum slope of 10 mm per metre.
•Make sure that there is sufficient room around
the pump to carry out the necessary
maintenance activitie s.
•Make sure that the room is sufficiently
ventilated, so that the heat developed by the
pump and drive can be discharged. Keep some
distance between the ventilation cover of the
electric motor and wall to enable the supply of
necessary cooling air.
22
5.3.3Pipework
When determining and connecting suction and
discharge lines consider the following points:
•The bore size of the suction and disch arge line s
must be larger than the bore size of the pump
hose. For more information consult your Bredel
representative.
•Limit the presence of sharp bends in the
discharge line. Make sure that the radius of the
bent discharge line is as large as possible
(preferably 5S). It is recommended to use Y-
connections instead of T-connections.
•It is recommended to use a minimum of three
quarters (3/4) of the hose length as flexible
hose in the suction or discharge line. This
avoids the need to remove the connection lines
when changing a pump hose.
•Keep the delivery a nd suction lines as short and
direct as possible.
•Select the correct mounting material for flexible
hoses and make sure that the installation is
suited for the design pressure of the system.
•Prevent any possibilities of exceeding the
maximum worki ng pressure of the ho se pump.
Refer to § 11.1.1. If necessary fit a pressure
relief valve.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Consider the maximum permissible working pressure on the discharge side.
Exceeding the ma ximu m wo rking press ure
may lead to serious damage to the pump.

5.3.4Frequency controller
WARNING
A frequency controller that is fitted without
the manual control can start automatically
when power is applied.
If the hose pump is fitted with a frequency controller,
consider the following points:
•Take precautions so the motor does not re-start
automatically af ter an uns ch eduled stop.
In the event of a power or mechanical failure,
the frequency controller controls the motor to
stop. When the cause of the failure is removed,
the motor can restart automatically. The
automatic restart can be dangerous in certain
pump installations.
•All control cables outside the enclosure must be
shielded and have a cross sectional area
between 0.22 and 1 mm
be connected to earth at both ends.

1.Dismount the standard breather (A) on the
cover of the pump head.
2.Mount the breather (A) with high-level float
switch.
MAINTENANCE
3.Connect the high-level float switch to the
auxiliary power circuit via the 2-metre long PVC
cable (2 x 0.34mm2). Bear in mind that the
electrical contact of the float switch is normally
closed (NC). The knob is upwards for normally
closed operation. When the lubricant level is
(too) high the contact will open.

MAINTENANCE
Where the float switch is constructed to
stop the equipment, operating has to be
arranged so that the stop function locks
out, preventing the equipment from being
re-started without re-setting. Check if the
float switch is mounted with the NC si gn a t
the top.
7.8.2Revolution counter
For feedback of the pump revolutions to an "intelligent"
system, the pump can be provided with an inductive
sensor (A). This sensor is mounted between the two
ports.
Connection of the revolution counter:
The speed sensor can be connected via the 2 meter
long PVC cable (3x 0.34 mm
2
).

8.1Hose pump
•Store the hose pump and pump parts in a dry
area. Make sure that the hose pump and pump
parts are not exposed to temperatures lower
than -40 °C or higher than +70 °C.
•Cover the openings of the inlet and outlet ports.
•Prevent corrosion of untreated parts. For this
purpose use the correct protection or
packaging.
•After a long period of standstill or storage, the
static load on the pump hose may have caused
permanent deformation, which will reduce the
life of the pump hose. To prevent this, remove
the pump hose when the pu mp is not to b e used
for a period.
8.2Pump hose
•Store the pump hose in a cool and dark room.
After two years th e hose materi al will age, w hich
will reduce the life of the hose.
