Alfa Laval Rotary Lobe Displacement Pump GHPD-732P

CAUTION! DRIP LEAKAGE IS ESSENTIAL TO PREVENT OVER HEATING OF THE GLAND AREA WHICH WILL CAUSE SEAL FAILURE.

IMPORTANT! Stop and remove gland guard for checking temperature of housing and observing leakage. ALWAYS REPLACE THE GUARD BEFORE RESTARTING.

1. Lightly tighten up the gland follower.

2. Flood the pumphead and determine if the gland leakage is acceptable. Tighten the gland follower nuts until an acceptable leakage is achieved.

3. Start the pump and allow to run for 10 minutes. If the gland becomes significantly hotter than other parts of the pump, the gland is too tight.

4. Stop the pump and allow it to cool then repeat the above until the gland temperature is stable and gland slightly weeping.

5. Run the pump at 10 minute intervals tightening the gland follower nuts by a ½ of a turn until the leak is at an acceptable rate.;

– The large 'O' ring sits within the rotorcase bore and runs on the shaft sleeve. Rotation for the shaft sleeve is provided by a spring which locates in a slot on the shaft. An 'O' ring seals the shaft sleeve to the shaft.

2. Slide the shaft sleeve from the shaft and inspect the 'O' rings.

1. Lightly lubricate the 'O' rings with greas (food quality if necessary), locate in the shat sleeve and rotorcase bore.

2. Slide the shaft sleeve onto the shaft an locate the pin into the slot on the shaft.;

– 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.

• 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.
