Alfa Laval Rotary Lobe Displacement Pump GHPD-832

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.;

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.

– 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 packing rings are located within the gland housing and are tightened onto the shaft sleeve by adjusting the gland follower. On flushed packed glands a lantern ring replaces the middle ring of packing. The shaft sleeve is retained to the shaft by three socket set screws and is sealed by an 'O' ring.

1. Release and pull back the gland follower.

2. Remove the rotorcase with gland housing, packing and gland follower still assembled.

3. Loosen the shaft sleeve socket set screws and extract the sleeve from the shaft.

4. Inspect and replace the packing and shaft sleeve if necessary.
