    Lifting If the pump is to be lifted, ensure that all standard lifting prac-tices are adhered to and carried out by qualified personnel only.The pumphead without drive should be lifted using the liftingpoint provided, mounted on the rear of the pumphead - point A.

    There are dangerous voltages inside the motor terminal box. If access is required, isolate the pumpfrom the electrical supply before removing thecover. Never operate the pump without the pumpcover or shaft coupling guards in place. Do notplace any part of the body inside the pump housingwhile the pump is operating. Protect hands and facefrom possible aggressive product when handling orexamining used pump hoses.

    Do not use the motor or gearbox-lifting points to liftthe entire pump set. These lifting eyes are rated forthe individual components only.

    A complete pump set with motor should be lifted by the liftingpoint provided plus additional support using suitably ratedstraps or slings. Do not exceed the rating of the lifting point A.

  • 4Pump hoseThe pump hose liner material should be compatible with the prod-uct to be pumped. If in doubt regarding fluid compatibility pleasecontact your local Watson-Marlow/Bredel representative. Hosesare available in several materials for different applications.

    Lubrication and coolingThe pump housing is filled with a specially compounded foodgrade hose lubricant. The lubricant performs as a coolant aswell as a lubricant and Watson-Marlow/Bredel cannot acceptany responsibility for poor hose life as a result of an incorrecthose lubricant used within the pump housing.

    Since the lubricant is specially compounded, it is recommendedthat it be obtained from an official Watson-Marlow/Bredel representative.

    Lubricant quantity, required for each pump model (Table 1):

    The minimum level is indicated on the inspection window forport positions one and two only. For positions three and fourplease follow the volumes given above.

    Strong oxidizing substances are deemed incompatible withWatson-Marlow/Bredel Hose lubricant. If your product consistsof high concentration of an oxidizing substance, then pleasecontact your Watson-Marlow/Bredel representative for analternative silicone based hose lubricant.

    At no stage should the lubricant come in contactwith any highly concentrated oxidizing substancesas a potential hazard could occur.

    ShimsThe number of shims will vary for each application. (See Technical Information section).

    The shimming guide is for use with Watson-Marlow/Bredeloriginal pump hoses. Watson-Marlow/Bredel hoses are con-structed with four nylon reinforcement layers, each hose isprecision ground ensuring close tolerances, performancerepeatability and superior surface finish which improves hoselife. Watson-Marlow/Bredel cannot guarantee the performanceof its product with any other hose make or type.

    Each pump has a number of loose shims supplied separatelywithin the shipping carton.

    Never reduce the shimming of the pump to limit thepressure created by the pump. Insufficient com-pression of the hose, creates a back stream of fluidin the hose and damages the inner layer.Insufficient shimming seriously reduces hose life.

  • Recommended installation guidelines points to observeFor maximum hose life, the pump should be set up with thedelivery end of the hose connected to the upper port of thepumphead.

    DO keep delivery and suction lines as short and direct as possible.

    DO keep the piping "oversized", at a minimum equal to orgreater than the bore size of the pump. Increase the bore size ofthe pipework when the duty fluid has a high viscosity or high inertia. This will help keep the friction losses to a minimum.

    DO keep sharp bends and T sections to a minimum.

    DO use Y junctions and long slow swept bends, minimum R = 4 to 5d.

    DO keep the pump housing and pressing shoes clean.

    DO fit a discharge pulsation damper and /or inlet pulse accu-mulator when the product specific gravity and pump speed ishigh and the line lengths are long.

    The self-priming nature of peristaltic pumps means that valvesare not required. If for whatever reason, valves are fitted in tothe system they must have a straight fluid path and cause mini-mum restriction to flow in the pumping circuit. If a valve is fittedin the discharge line, ensure that a by-pass valve is fitted toavoid premature hose rupture.

    It is recommended that the pressure on the discharge of thepump should not exceed 232 psi, or 109 psi for the SPX10 andSPX15 mini pumps.

    Installation commissioning the pumpn Ensure that the pump hose liner material is compatible with

    the product to be pumped.n Site the pump on a flat horizontal surface allowing a free

    flow of air around the pump. Bolt the pump down using themounting points provided.

    n Ensure there is 5 ft to 6.5 ft of straight flexible hose beforethe suction and discharge ports, of not less than the diame-ter of the hose bore. This will aid hose replacement withoutthe need to break down transfer pipework.

    n Check the breather on the rear of the pump is free from anyobstruction. It is recommended that the breather/vent ispiped away to a safe area if pumping hazardous products.

    n Before commissioning drive gearboxes, ensure that thegearbox breather/vent plug is free from obstruction, inorder to prevent excessive pressure build up and oil leaks.

    n Check to ensure the gearbox has been filled with oil or grease.

    n The motor should be connected by a qualified engineer,who is fully conversant with the appropriate regulations.

    n Motor insulation: Follow the guidelines issued by the motormanufacturer. Details are given in the motor informationprovided. Please note that this is separate to this manual.

    n Install a reversing switch to assist in cleaning and hose exchange.

    n Electrical motors - A current overload relay should also befitted to a contact breaker. Connect the motor in accor-dance with the wiring diagram, which will be found in themotor terminal box.

    n When a thermal protection switch is fitted in the motor, theleads will be found in the motor terminal box. They shouldbe connected to stop the pump if the switch operates. Seebelow for the connection of the drive motor showing possi-ble ancillary switches and protections.

    All pumps, excluding those intended for use in hazardousatmospheres, may be fitted with a Liquid Level Control (LLC).This switch is rated 250V 1A AC maximum power load 50W.

    Do not connect LLC or any other switch gear to theterminal box of a explosion-proof motor unless theswitch has a suitable XP rating for the zone area inwhich it is to be mounted.

    Before operating the pumpCheck all pipe and clamp connections for tightness. Ensure thatall inlet and discharge isolating valves are open, since poten-tially dangerous or damaging pressures could otherwise result.

  • Hose pumpsHose pumps have a pulsating flow that can result in vibration of thepump and associated pipework under the following circumstances:

    n suction and discharge lines are not fixed correctly.n high pump speed in combination with long suction and dis-

    charge lines or high specific gravity of the product.n diameter of suction and/or the discharge line is too small.n Severe pulsation at the inlet side of the pump indicates

    poor suction conditions.In the event that the pulsations become unacceptable, pulsationdampers for both the suction and discharge lines are availablefrom Watson-Marlow/Bredel. Please contact your local Watson-Marlow/Bredel representative for details on our Inlet PulsationAccumulators (IPA) or Pulsation Dampers (PD).

    If in any doubt over the correct installation of your pump con-tact your local Watson-Marlow/Bredel representative forassistance. They are equipped with the latest windows basedWatson-Marlow/Bredel Hose pumps selector program and canoffer advice and recommendations on the installation layout,running speeds, pipe diameters, etc, to give the optimum perfor-mance from your Watson-Marlow/Bredel hose pump.

    Cleaning the pump hoseThis can be done by running the pump with clean water. If acleaning fluid is added to the water, attention must be given toits compatibility with the hose liner material, and also the tem-perature at which the cleaning procedure will be performed.Sometimes a cleansing sponge can be very helpful.

    With many products it is necessary to clean the pump hoseimmediately once the pump is stopped, to avoid solidificationand hardening of the product within the hose.

    Hose replacementFor all weight, torque adjustment and shim setting references,please refer to the Technical information section at the rear ofthis manual.

    Hose removalThe pump hose should be changed without removing the pump cover.

    1. Close the isolating valves on both the inlet and discharge ofthe pump to minimize fluid loss.

    2. Place a lubricant tray of sufficient capacity to contain thehose lubricant plus any process fluid that might be con-tained within the pump housing (this only applies if the hosehas failed) underneath the drain plug located at the bottomof the pumphead.

    3. Remove the drain plug. Ensure that the breather vent mount-ed on the rear is not obscured. Allow lubricant to drain fromthe pumphead.

    4. Disconnect the suction and delivery lines.

    5. Loosen the hose clamps on both the upper and lower ports.

  • 79. Slide off the sealing ring.10. Power out the hose from the pump chamber by jogging the

    drive motor.11. Ensure that the pump chamber is clean and remove all

    residues. Flush out the pump chamber, if necessary toremove any contaminants.

    12. It may be necessary to remove the pump cover at thisstage. (see Pump cover removal).

    13. Inspect the pump chamber and the rear rotor lubricant sealfor any signs of damage or wear, replace if necessary.

    14. Check the pressing shoes for signs of damage or wear. Damaged shoes will cause insufficient hose compressionand a reduction in hose life.

    15. Check the shim settings and ensure that rotor is set to giveoptimum performance and hose life for the duty required.

    Cover removal

    Ensure that the pump is completely isolated fromthe electrical supply prior to opening the pumpcover. NEVER REMOVE THE PUMP COVER WHILETHE HOSE IS IN PLACE. This can cause deformationof the pump housing and shearing of the bolts onstart up.

    If the pump cover is to be lifted ensure that all standard lifting practices are adhered to and carried out by qualified personnel only.

    1. Isolate the pump from the electrical supply.2. Drain the hose lubricant from the pump housing.3. Remove the hose.4. Remove the pump cover retaining bolts.5. Lift the cover clear of the pump.

    Cover replacement1. When replacing the pump cover, make sure that the cover-

    sealing quad ring is seated correctly within its groove.2. Locate the cover using the four guide bosses.3. Refit the retaining bolts.4. Tighten each bolt in sequence diagonally opposite to each

    other to the specified torque limits.

    7. Loosen and remove the flange bracket-retaining bolts onboth the upper and lower ports.

    8. Slide the flange bracket and the hose clip off the hose.

    6. Pull the inserts from the ends of the hose and remove the flanges.

  • Assembly - Hose loading

    The hose sealing system is dependent on the closetolerances and ground surface of Watson-Marlow/Bredel hoses, and no other hose type ormake should be used since sealing cannot be guar-anteed. Any leakage of lubricant through the sealcaused by using a non-Watson-Marlow/Bredelhose could lead to hose or pump failure, whichwould not be covered by warranty.

    During hose loading, ensure that the pump housing cover andthe inspection cover are securely in place. DO NOT LOAD HOSEWITHOUT COVER IN PLACE.

    1. Clean the outside of the pump hose and heavily lubricate theexternal surface of the hose with the Watson-Marlow/Bredelhose lubricant.

    2. Insert the hose into the upper port and jog the drive motor(CCW) to feed the hose into the pump chamber. Continue tojog the hose until there is an equal portion of the hose protruding from each port.

    First assemble the lower port3. Slide the sealing ring on to the hose.

    If the sealing ring has been used before, inspect for damage and replace if necessary.

    4. Slide the flange bracket and the hose clamp over the hose together.

    5. Align the holes in the flange bracket with those in the port

    8

    face, locate and tighten the four retaining bolts. At this stage the bolts should be finger tight only - 0.20"(5mm) gap between the bracket and the port face.

    6. Position the flange and insert in the end of the hose.

    7. Push the insert into the hose.Assembly tip: Apply a small amount of hose lubricant to the lipof the insert. This will help ease the insert into the hose.

    8. Refit and secure the suction transfer pipework.9. Jog the motor in the direction of the lower port to drive the

    hose against the flange face. Ensure that the hose butts uphard against the flange face and the insert is seated cor-rectly. Leakage of the process fluid could occur if the insertis not seated correctly.

    10. Tighten the flange bracket retaining bolts to the specifiedtorque setting.

  • 911. Position the hose clamp against the flange bracket and tighten.

    Assemble the upper port by repeating steps 3 to 10.

    At this time, pump can be run for general mechanical function.Do not run the pump without hose lubricant for anexcessive length of time, irreversible hose damagecan result.

    12. Replace the lubricant drain plug.

    13. Refill the housing with Watson-Marlow/Bredel hose lubri-cant, see Table 1 for the lubricant volume/capacity for eachpump. Remove the upper plug at the front of the pumpheadto vent pump housing. Ensure the level appears above theminimum level indicated in the inspection window.

    14. Check all pipe and clamp connections for tightness.

    Never rotate or run the pump against a closed valve. The pump is of a positive displacement typewhere potentially dangerous or damaging pressurewill result.

    ShimmingShimming is a simple operation that can be done through thefront inspection window without removing the hose or the pump cover.

    Please refer to the individual pump shimming guide for the cor-rect number of shims.

    1. Jog the drive motor until the pressing shoe is positioned inview of the inspection window.

    2. Isolate the pump from the electrical supply.3. Place a lubricant tray of sufficient capacity to contain 20 to

    30% of the lubricant underneath the drain plug, located atthe bottom of the pumphead.

    4. Remove the drain plug. Ensure that the breather vent mount-ed on the rear of the pump housing is not obscured. Partiallydrain the lubricant from the pumphead - only part of thelubricant, 20 - 30%, needs to be drained for shimming. (Justbelow the lower edge of the inspection window itself.)

    5. Loosen and remove the inspection window retaining bolts.6. Remove the inspection window taking care not to damage

    the gasket and sealing face.

    7. Loosen the shoe retainer bolt (item 16) on the pressing shoe.

  • 8. Count the number of shims fitted. If required, add or removeshims as determined by the shimming guide.

    9. Tighten the shoe retaining bolt to the specified limit.10. Replace inspection window temporarily and rotate the

    pump 180 to position 2nd shoe in view of the inspectionwindow. Remove inspection window.

    11. Repeat the procedure for the second pressing shoe.12. Check the inspection window gasket for damage and

    replace if necessary.13. Replace and secure the inspection window ensuring that

    all the bolts are replaced and tightened in sequence, diago-nally opposite to each other, to the specified torque limits.

    14. Ensure that the drain plug is fitted and secure. 15. Replenish the hose lubricant.

    Periodic maintenance requirementsWatson-Marlow/Bredel planetary gearbox

    The planetary units do not require any specific maintenanceprocedures: however it is necessary to plan periodic inspec-tions to avoid any loss of efficiency in the unit.

    Care must be given to the lubricating oil, and the oil level shouldbe checked regularly and topped off as necessary.

    Oil changes

    An oil change must be carried out after the first 100 hours of operation and subsequently after every 2500 hours, or at leastevery 12 months.

    These intervals may be modified depending on the actual operation conditions. During oil change, we recommend that theinside of the gear case is flushed out with flushing fluid recom-mended by the lubricant manufacturer.

    Oil should be changed when hot to prevent build up of sludgedeposit. It is advisable to check the oil level at least once amonth. If more than 10% of the total oil capacity has to be addedcheck for oil leaks. Fill to the center line.

    10

    Drain, oil level, breather filler plugs are fitted.

    Continuous working temperature must not exceeded 90C (195F).

    Avoid mixing oils of different types even of thesame manufacture. Never mix mineral and syntheticoils. If in doubt, change the oil completely. Payattention to oil and gear temperature during an oilchange, to avoid the risk of scalding.

    6. Extract the rotor complete with pressing shoes from thehub. A suitable puller or similar extraction tool will berequired during this stage of the disassembly.

    Under no circumstances try to lever the rotor off, using thepump housing as a pivot point.

    A strap or similar lifting device must support theweight of the rotor at the removal stage. (see section for rotor weights).

    Hub hose lubricant seal replacement

    With the rotor removed the hub seal is now accessible.

    1. Remove the retaining ring.2. Extract the seal. Discard and fit the replacement. The fitting

    of the seal should be carried out in accordance to the manufacturers instruction and ensure that best practicesare adhered too.

    3. The seal must be fitted in the correct orientation. If a single lip seal is fitted ensure that the gaiter spring is facing outward (towards the front of the pump).

  • Hub removal

    1. Remove the gear drive from the rear of the pump.2. Loosen and remove the hub retaining bolts.3. Remove the hub taking care not to damage the sealing

    O-ring on the rear. The hub is located on a dowel so a knock with a raw hide mallet on the rear of the hub may be necessary.

    4. The hub is a solid casting and a heavy component, so caremust be taken on its removal.

    A strap or similar lifting device must support theweight of the hub at the removal stage. (see section for rotor weights).

    Pump head assembly

    1. Insert the hub into the pump housing ensuring the sealingO-ring is fitted and in place.

    Assembly tip - use a small quantity of silicone grease tosecure the O-ring in place.

    2. The hub locates on to a dowel for correct hub alignment,align the dowel with the hole in the hub and push home.

    3. Refit the bolts and tighten each bolt diagonally opposite toeach other to the specified torque setting.

    4. Check rotor hub seal for any signs of damage and replace if necessary.

    5. Ensure the hub is clean and free from grease.6. Refit the rotor, the bearings are a slight interference fit on

    the hub and a pressing tool may be required to press therotor on to the hub.

    Note: Ensure that the spacer ring between the two rotor bear-ings is aligned in the correct position as it is possible that it candrop and foul the hub, which will prevent the rotor seating cor-rectly on the hub. Rotor is correctly seated, when the retainingring groove is clearly visible on the end of the hub.

    7. Refit the rotor retaining ring - external type.8. Heavily grease the drive shaft spline with a graphite-loaded

    grease or a similar compound. 9. Ensure the mating faces are clean, dry and free

    from lubricant.10. Ensure the sealing O-ring on the rear mating face is free

    from damage and seated correctly. 11. To refit the drive shaft it may be necessary to align the

    splines with those in the gearbox.12. Align the holes in the drive shaft with those within the rotor

    and refit the retaining bolts.13. Tighten each bolt diagonally opposite to each other to the

    specified torque setting.14. Check that the pump housing is clean and free from

    any debris.15. Refit the cover plate.

    Rotor bearing replacement

    1. Remove the rotor from the pump.2. Lay on a flat surface with the wear ring face up.3. Remove the bearing retaining ring - internal type.4. Turn the rotor over, with the rotor-supported face up,

    the bearing must be extracted in the direction of the retaining ring groove.

    5. Using a suitable press remove the bearings from the rotor.6. Retain the spacer ring and discard the old bearings.

    Bearing replacement - rotor

    1. Ensure the bores are clean and free from grease and dirt.Do not use abrasive paper.

    2. Press the first bearing into position.3. Refit spacer ring.4. Insert the second bearing.5. Refit the retaining ring.

    Rotor wear ring - removal

    1. Remove the rotor from the pump.2. Support the rotor off the bench with wooden blocks at 90

    degrees to the spokes, with the ring facing down 40mmfree from the bench.

    3. Using a suitable punch or drift, in a clockwise order, position the tool in the recesses provided and strike therear edge of the wear ring.

    4. Continue in clockwise rotation until the ring is free from the rotor.

    5. Care must be taken not to damage the seating face of the rotor.

    Rotor wear ring replacement

    1. Ensure the seating for the ring is clean, dry and free fromany burrs or damage.

    2. Position the ring with the tapered edge facing up.3. Cover the ring with a hard wood block.4. Using a suitable press, press the ring until the rear edge

    butts against the rotor, and the front edge is flush with theend of the rotor.

    Drive removal

    The drive can be removed without the need to disassemble thepumphead, hose or pipework.

    1. Isolate the pump from the electrical supply.2. Support the drive using either the individual lifting points on

    the gearbox and motor or by the means of suitably ratedlifting straps.

    3. Loosen and remove the cap head bolts that secure thegearbox to hub at the rear of the pumphead.

    4. Withdraw the gearbox from the pumphead and lift the drivefree from the pump.

    5. It is recommended that any servicing of the drive compo-nents other than that given in the user manual is carried out by the manufacture and should not be attempted by the customer.

    Drive assembly

    1. Heavily grease the drive shaft spline protruding from thepump with a graphite-loaded grease or similar compound.

    2. Lift the drive into position align the spline of the drive shaftwith the female spline of the gearbox and slide the gearboxinto position.

    3. Align the gearbox holes with those in the pump housing,ensuring that the gearbox breather, drain and filler plugsare in their correct positions. Consideration should also begiven to the position of motor terminal box.

    4. Refit the cap head bolts and tighten each bolt diagonallyopposite to each other to the specified torque setting (ISOgrade 10.9 or higher).

    5. Check the gearbox lubricant level and top off if necessary.6. Ensure that the gearbox breather is free from any

    obstruction.7. Reconnect the electrical supply, a qualified engineer, who
