4.3 Operation of the pump
The heart of the pumphead consists of a specially constructed pump hose which lies
contorted against the inside of the pump housing. Both ends of the hose are connected to
the suction and discharge lines by means of a flange construction. A bearing-mounted rotor
with two facing pressing shoes is in the center of the pumphead.
In phase 1 the lower pressing shoe compressed 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.
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 displacement principle”.
11
4.4 Pump hose
4.4.1 General
The pump hose is made of special rubbers, reinforced with nylon cords and is constructed as
follows:
A. Outer extruded layer made of natural rubber
B. 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 correct 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 will 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 capacity and backflow.
Backflow results in a reduction of the life of the pump hose.
4.4.2 Hose compression force adjustment (shimming). (not applicable for series SP/10,
SP/15 and SP/20).
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 are fitted between the rotor and the pressing shoe. The number of shims will vary
for each counter-pressure situation. See “Hose compression force adjustment” § 7.8 and
“Shimming table” §10.1.7. Caution: insufficient shimming reduces hose life.
4.4.3 Lubrication and cooling
The pumphead, in which the rotor and pump hose can be found are filled with a special
lubricant.The lubricant lubricates the movement between the hose and the pressing shoes
and transfers the generated heat from the hose to the pump housing and the cover.
4.4.4 Gearbox
The hose pump types described in this manual use various types of gearbox units. The
gearboxes are fitted with a foot rest.
12
4.4.5 Electric motor
The hose pump type described in this manual use various types of motors. If the pump is to
be used in potentially explosive atmospheres, please contact your Bredel representative, as
these type of pumps are not
in compliance with ATEX.
4.4.6 Available options
The following options are available for the hose pump:
• High (lubricant) level float switch
• Low (lubricant) level float switch (not applicable for SP/10, SP/15 and SP/20)
• Epoxy pressing shoes (not applicable for SP/10, SP/15 and SP/20)
When unpacking carefully follow the instructions as given on the packaging or on the hose
pump.
5.2 Inspections
Check that your delivery is correct and check it for any transport damage, see “Description:
“Identification of the product”, § 4.1. Report any damage immediately to your Bredel
representative.
5.3 Installation conditions
5.3.1 Ambient conditions
Make sure that the hose pump is in an area where the ambient temperature during operation
is not lower than –20° and not higher than +45°C.
5.3.2 Set-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 1 mm per
meter.
• 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.
5.3.3 Pipework
When determining and connecting suction and discharge lines consider the following points:
• The bore size of the suction line must be larger than the bore size of the pump hose.
The bore size of the discharge line must be minimal or larger than the bore size of the
pump hose. For more information consult your Bredel representative.
• Limit the presence of sharp bends. Make sure that the radius of the bends are 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 quarter (3/4) of the hose length as
flexible hose in the suction or discharge line. In this way you prevent that connection
lines must be removed when changing a pump hose.
• Keep the delivery and suction lines as short and direct as possible.
• Prevent any possibilities of exceeding the maximum working pressure of the hose
pump, see “Specifications”: “Performance”, § 10.1.1. If necessary fit an overpressure
valve.
14
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 maximum
permissible loads on the pump flange are given in the table below:
Hose pumps have a pulsating flow that can result in vibrations of pump and lines under the
following circumstances:
• suction and discharge lines are not fixed correctly
• high pump speed in combination with long suction and discharge lines or high specific
gravity of the product
• diameter of suction and/or discharge line too small
In case of unacceptable pulsations, dampeners for suction and/or discharge line can be
supplied for the pump series SP/25 to SP/100. Please consult your Bredel representative for
literature on Inlet Pulsation Accumulators (IPA) or Pulsation Dampeners (PD). These
accumulators and dampeners are not available for SP/10, SP15 and SP/20.
5.3.5 Pumping pressure (counter pressure)
Should not go over maximum allowance (7,5 bar for SP/10, SP/15 and SP/20; 16 bar for
bigger models). If hose failure looks like explosion, check system for blocked lines, closed
valves or failing pressure relief valves.
5.4 Lifting and moving the pump
For lifting and moving the pumphead, it has been fitted with a lifting strip. This lifting strip is
fitted on the rear of the pumphead. For the weights of the pump, see “Specifications”:
“Weights”, § 10.1.5.
The complete hose pump, i.e. pumphead, gearbox and electric motor, must be lifted using
the lifting eyes in the pump support plus additional support on gearbox and motor using
suitably rated straps or slings, see “Specifications”: Weights, § 10.1.5.
15
WARNING
If the pump is to be lifted ensure that all standard lifting practices are
adhered to and carried out by qualified personnel only.
5.5 Placing the pump
Position the pump on a horizontal surface. Use suitable anchor bolts to attach the pump to
the floor surface.

Cleaning pump hose
7.2
With a lot of products it is necessary to have the pump hose cleaned immediately after
pumping to avoid hardening of the product inside. The inside of the pump hose can be easily
cleaned by rinsing the pump with clean water. If a cleaning fluid is added to the water, it must
be checked that the hose liner material is resistant to that. Also note that the pump hose can
resist the cleaning temperature. Special cleaning balls are also available; please consult your
Bredel representative).
7.3 Changing lubricant
• Place a tray under the drain plug (series SP/25 to SP/100) in the cover of the pump.
Remove the drain plug. Catch the lubricant from the pump housing in the tray.
Position the drain plug and tighten it firmly. In case of SP/10, SP/15 and SP/20
pumps: remove the hose and drain via the lower port.
• The pump housing can be filled with lubricant via the breather/vent on the cover. For
this purpose remove the breather cap and position a funnel in the breather. In order
to facilitate the filling with lubricant for the series SP/25 to SP/100 it is advised to
remove one or two bolts in the inspection window. Pour the lubricant in the pump
housing via the funnel.
• Keep on pouring until the lubricant level has risen at approx. half way of the pump
casing, or that the specified quantity has been filled. See “Lubricant” § 10.1.3.

SP/20) on both suction and discharge port.
7.5.7 Removal of the hose
The hose can be removed without removing the pump cover.
Simply remove the hose by jogging the drive motor.
7.5.8 Cleaning of pump casing
Flush out casing cavity to remove any contaminants. If necessary remove the pump cover to
clean casing completely (but isolate the pump from the electrical supply first).
WARNING
Never remove the pump cover whilst the hose is in place.
The front covers of the series SP/25 to SP/100 should not be removed whilst
the hose is in place. This can cause a deformation of the pump casing and a
non straight tension of the bolts. After fitting the cover and starting up the
pump, the bolts can be extremely forced and break.
When the pump cover was removed for cleaning purposes, refit it beforeinstalling the hose Check the cover O-ring for damage and replace if necessary. Make sure that the bolts
are refitted and that they are tightened in the correct order, diagonally opposite each other,
see “Specifications”: ‘’Torques’’, § 10.1.6.
7.5.9 Tighten drain plug (not applicable for SP/10, SP/15 and SP/20)
Before the hose can be loaded the drain plug has to be mounted. Make sure that the drain
plug is mounted in such a way that no leakage of lubricant can occur.
7.5.10 Preparation of pump hose

SP/20).
• Open the suction and discharge valves.
•
Switch on the electrical supply.
21
CAUTION
When the pressing shoes are worn the compression force of the hose could
decrease. If the compression force is too low, this results in a loss of capacity
by the backflow of the liquid to be pumped. Backflow results in a reduction of
the life of the pump hose.
7.7 Exchanging replacement parts
7.7.1 Replacing pressing shoes (not applicable for SP/10, SP/15 and SP/20)
• Remove the pump hose and cover. See paragraph 7.5.1 through 7.5.8
• Loosen the retaining bolt(s) of the pressing shoe a few turns. Remove the shims.
• Loosen the retaining bolt(s) of pressing shoe completely and remove the pressing
shoe.
• Fit the eventually removed shims again. Position the (new) pressing shoe, tighten
the retaining bolt(s), see “Specifications”: “Torques”, § 10.1.6.
• Repeat the procedure for removing and fitting the second pressing shoe by
repeating above mentioned steps.
WARNING
Never remove the pump cover whilst the hose is in place.
The front covers of the series SP/25 to SP/100 should not be removed whilst
the hose is in place. This can cause a deformation of the pump casing and a
non straight tension of the bolts. After fitting the cover and starting up the
pump, the bolts can be extremely forced and break.
• Check the cover O-ring for damage and replace if necessary. Refit the cover. Make
sure that the bolts are refitted and that they are tightened in the correct order,
diagonally opposite each other, see “Specifications”: ‘Torques”, § 10.1.6.
• Switch on the electrical supply.
• Replace hose and refill the lubricant, see paragraph 7.5.9 through 7.6.5
7.7.2 Replacing seal and bearings

• Loosen coupling on drive end of shaft.
• Remove rotor retaining ring and pull rotor off shaft.
• Remove bearing cover for SP/25 to SP/100, or joint ring and safety ring for SP/10,
SP/15 and SP/20.
• Pull shaft assembly out at rotor side.
• Use arbor press and V-block to remove both bearings from shaft. Use file to deburr
key ways.
• Remove lip seals from housing and bearing cover. It is recommended to replace
seals whenever shaft has been removed.
22
• Pre-grease bearings with lithium grease.
• Use arbor press and press new bearings on shaft. Coat shaft areas with anti-seize
compound to facilitate assembly.
• Press oil seal into housing.
• Insert joint ring into bearing cover groove.
• Press shaft assembly into housing.

the exposed front bearing. Then take away grease nipple and plug the hole.
• Assemble bearing cover to housing to secure shaft assembly for SP/25 to SP/100.
Assemble safety ring and press in joint ring for SP/10, SP/15 and SP/20.
• Place rotor key and assemble rotor. Secure with retainer ring.
• Check the cover O- ring for damage and replace if necessary. Refit the cover. Make
sure that the bolts are refitted and that they are tightened in the correct order,
diagonally opposite each other, see “Specifications”: ‘Torques”, § 10.1.6.
• Switch on the electrical supply to the pump.
• Fit the (new) pump hose, see 7.5.9 through 7.6.5
7.8 Hose compression force adjustment (shimming) (not applicable for SP/10, SP/15
and SP/20).
Fitting and removing shims is a simple action which can be carried out via the inspection
window on the front of the pump housing. 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 see “Specifications”: “Shimming”, § 10.1.7.
CAUTION
Too many shims, this means a too high compression force on the pump hose,
will create a too high load of the pumphead and pump hose, which may result in
a reduction of the life of the pump hose. Too few shims, this means a to low
compression force on the pump hose, create a loss of capacity and backflow.
Backflow results in a reduction of the life of the pump hose.
• Jog the motor until the pressing shoe is positioned in view of the inspection window.
• Isolate the pump from the electrical supply.
• Loosen the retaining bolts of the inspection window and remove the bolts.
• Remove the inspection window. Care must be taken not to damage the gasket.
• Loosen the retaining bolt(s) of the pressing shoe a few turns.
• Fit the shims or remove them until the correct number of shims is present (see
“Specifications”: “Shimming”, § 10.1.7). To aid in assembly, preform shim around
rotor. Then insert with slot oriented around bolt.
• Fasten the retaining bolt(s) of the pressing shoe with the correct torque (see
“Specifications”: “Torques”, § 10.1.6).
CAUTION
When maximum suction capability is required, the pump shimming must be as
for minimum 5 bar counter pressure at corresponding speed.
23
• Refit the inspection window. Check the gasket for damage and replace if necessary.
Make sure that all bolts are refitted and that they are tightened in the correct order,
diagonally opposite each other, see “Specifications”: “Torques”, § 10.1.6.
• Switch on the electrical supply.
7.9 Fitting options
7.9.1 Fitting a high-level float switch
• Note: in case of series SP/10, SP/15 and SP/20 another type of cover is required.
• Dismount the standard breather on the cover of the pump
• Slide the standard breather cap from breather.
• Replace the standard breather cap with the breather cap with high level float switch
and slide it over breather.
• Mount the breather on the cover of the pump.
• Connect the high-level float switch to the electrical supply. Bear in mind that the
electrical contact of the float switch is normally closed (NC). When the lubricant level
is (too) high the contact will open.
7.9.2 Fitting a low level float switch (not applicable for SP/10, SP/15 and SP/20)
• If the pump is filled with lubricant this must be removed first. Place a tray under the drain
plug in the desaeration pipe on the cover of the pump. Remove the drain plug. Catch
the lubricant from the pump housing in the tray.
• Replace the drain plug by a low level floater.
• Connect the low level float switch to the electrical supply. Bear in mind that the
electrical contact of the float switch is normally closed (NC). This means that: the
contact of the low level float switch opens at a (too) low lubricant level.
• Make sure the lubricant returns to the prescribed level, see: “Maintenance”:
“Changing lubricant”, § 7.3.
24
8 STORAGE
8.1 Hose 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.
8.2 Pump hose
Store the pump hose in a cool and dark room. Pump hoses have a limited storage life. After
2 years the hose material will age, which will reduce the life of the hose.
