The identification stic ker on the pump hose cont ai ns the
following data:
A:Pump type
B:Reorder number
C:Internal diameter
D:Type of material of inner liner
E:Remarks, if applicable
F:Maximum permissible working pressure
G:Production code
The heart of the pump head consists of a specially
constructed pump hose (A) which lies contorted against
the inside of the pump housing (B). Both ends of the
hose are c onnected to the suction and discha rge lines
16
by means of a flange construction (C). A bearingmounted rotor (D) with two facing pressing shoes (E) is
in the centre of the pump head.
In phase 1 the lower pressing shoe compresses the
pump hose by the rotational movement of the rotor,
forcing the fluid through the hose. As soon as the
pressing 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.
DESCRIPTION
In phase 3, the second 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 pressing shoe. When the first
pressing shoe runs from the pump hose, the second
pressing shoe has already closed the pump hose and
the product is prevented from flowing back. This
method of liquid displacement is also known as the
"positive displaceme nt principle".
17
DESCRIPTION
4.4Pump hose
4.4.1General
A:Outer extruded layer made of natural rubber
B:Four 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 chem ical 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 correct
compression of the pump hose, because:
•When the compre ssion 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.
•When the compression is too low, this will result
in loss of yield and backflow. Backf low res ults in
a reduction of the life of the pump hose.
18
4.4.2 Hose compression force adjustment
(shimming)
In order to achieve optimal life of the pump hose, the
compression force of the pump hose can be adjusted by
placing a number of shims under the pressing shoes.
The shims (A) are fitted between the rotor (B) and the
pressing shoe (C). The number of shims will vary for
each counterpressure situation.
The paragrap h 7.8 describes how to sele ct and install
the shims.
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 § 10.1.4 for the
required quantity and NSF registration.
DESCRIPTION
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
planetary gearbox units. The gearbox units are
characterized by their compact and modular
construction.
This modular construction enables a wide range of
reductions, torques and connection possibilities for the
electric motor.
19
DESCRIPTION
4.6Electric motor
If the electric motor has been standard supplied by the
manufacturer, it is a standardized squirrel-cage motor.
Refer to § 10.3 for specifications. If the pump is to be
used in potentially explosive atmospheres, contact your
Bredel representative.
4.7Available options
The following options are available for the hose pump:
•High (lubricant) level float switch
•Low (lubricant) level fl oat switch
•Revolution counter
•Adapter for heavy duty drive (Bredel 65 and
Bredel 80 only)
The high level flo at switc h is mand ator y for
use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
If the pump is to be used in potentially
explosive atmospheres, contact your
Bredel representative.

5INSTALLATION
5.1Unpacking
When unpacking carefully follow the instructions as
given on the packaging or on the hose pump.
5.2Inspection
Check that your delivery is correct and check it 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 activities.
•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.
INSTALLATION
21
INSTALLATION
5.3.3Pipework
When determining and connecting suction and
discharge lines consider the following points:
•The bore size of the suction an d dis ch arge lin es
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 Yconnections instead of T-connections.
•Keep the piping at a minimum equal to or
greater than the bore si ze of the pum p. Inc rease
the bore size of the pipe work when the duty
fluid has a high velocity or inertia. This will help
keep friction and impulse losses to a minimum.
Where critical velocities are a concern consult
your Bredel representative.
•For the flexible hoses select compatible
materials and ensure the installation is suited
for the design pressure of the system.
•Keep the delivery and suction lines as sh ort a nd
direct as possible.
•Prevent any possibilities of exceeding the
maximum working pressure of the hose pump.
Refer to § 10.1.1. If necessary fit a pressure
relief valve.
CAUTION
Consider the maximum permissible working pressure on the discharge side.
Exceeding the maximum working pressure
may lead to serious damage to the pump.
•Make sure that the maximum forces on the
flanges are not exceeded. The permissible
loads are given in the following table.
For lifting and moving the pump, it has been fitted w ith a
lifting point. This lifting point (A) is fitted on the upper
side of the cover. The m ax im um ra tin g of the lifting point
depends on the pump mode l. Make s ure that the tot al of
weight to be moved will not exceed this maximum
rating.
For the weights, refer to § 10.1.5.

7.8Adjusting hose compression force
(shimming)
Fitting and removing shims is a simple action which can
be carried out via the inspection window on the front of
the pump housi ng. The pump hose or the pump cover
does not need to be removed. In order to determine the
correct number of shims for your specific application
refer to § 10.1.7.
CAUTION
Too many shims, this means a too high
compression force on the pump hos e, create a too high load on the pump head and
pump hose, which results in a reduction of
the life of the pump hose and bearings.
42
CAUTION
Too few shims, this means a too low compression force on the pump hos e, crea te a
loss of yield and slip or backflow. Backflow
results in a re duction of the life of the pum p
hose.

8.1Hose pump
•Store the hose pump or pump parts in a dry
area. Make sure that the hose pump or 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
means.
•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 a
pressing shoe. Jog the rotor until the second
pressing shoe is positioned between the inlet
and outlet port. In this way there is no load put
on the pump hose.
8.2Pump hose
•Store the pump hose in a cool and dark room.
After two years the h ose m aterial will age , which
will reduce the life of the hose.
