Alfa Laval Rotary Lobe Displacement Pump GHPD-522P

1. Checking the oil level in the gearcase (if applicable).

2. Checking the mechanical seals for leakage and replacing as necessary.

3. Adjusting the packed glands to control leakage.

4. Checking the oil seals for leakage.

– The seal rotary face is driven by a pin which locates in a slot on the shaft. A washer is located between the shaft shoulder and rotary face. A seal between the rotary face and shaft is provided by an 'O' ring.

– The stationary face is prevented from rotating as it has a flat side which sits in the rotorcase bore. Face to face contact is provided by a wave spring.

– Axial movement of the stationary face is prevented by a retaining clip. An 'O' ring within the rotorcase bore provides a seal onto the stationary face.

– A seal housing encloses the hyclean seal and is seal by an 'O' ring and retained to the rotorcase by socket head cap screws. A lip seal sits within the seal housing and runs on the rotary face, thus providing a seal.

CAUTION! SEAL FACES ARE BRITTLE - TAKE EXTREME CARE WHEN HANDLING. REMOVING THE FLUSHED HYCLEAN SEAL

REMOVING THE FLUSHED HYCLEAN SEAL

1. Carefully support and remove the rotorcase with the seal housing and stationary face still attached.

2. Slide the rotary face from the shaft.

3. Remove the seal housing screws to inspect the seal.

1. The pump will NOT be supplied oil filled.

• The pump can be manually cleaned or cleaned in place (C.I.P.). The following is an example of a typical CIP procedure. However specific advice for each application should be sought from the pump supplier.

1. Flush through the system with cold water (42°F).

2. Run hot caustic soda (158-176°C) at 2.5% dilution through the system for 20-30 minutes.

3. Final flush through with cold water again.

NEVER touch the pump or pipes as they will be extremely HOT!

DO NOT subject the pump to rapid temperature changes during C.I.P. procedures, as pump seizure can result from thermal shock. A suitable by-pass is recommended.

ALWAYS use rubber gloves and protective when handling caustic agents.

ALWAYS rinse will with clean water using a cleaning agent.

ALWAYS store/discharge cleaning agents in accordance with current rules d/directives.;

CAUTION! COMPLETE DISASSEMBLY IS ONLY REQUIRED IF THE 'O' RINGS OR SPRINGS ARE TO BE REPLACED.

- The relief valve should not be disassembled while the plug is in operation. Always observe the safety precautions detailed at the front of this manual.

- Take extreme care when removing the springs as they have been compressed.

2. Release and remove the notched nuts) with the spring adjuster.

3. Take off the springs, release the socket head cap screws and remove the valve guide.

4. Access to the pneumatic piston 'O' rings is achieved by releasing the circlip which locates in the valve shaft.

5. The hydraulic piston with the shaft may be lifted out of the front cover once the backstop disc is removed.
