The type label of each Quattroflow pump can be seen on the bottom of the base plate. Besides the serial number of the pump head is fixed at the front cover.
2. Description of the QF 150S pump 2.1. Appropriate use The Quattroflow 150S is a 4-piston Diaphragm pump, which is mainly used to pump water-like fluids that are typically handled in research-, pilot plant- or production facilities of the pharmaceutical, biotech, food or cosmetic research centers or plants.
The direction of flow can be adjusted by turning the pump chamber in 90° steps. The Quattroflow 150S is self-priming and can run dry. Inside the pump chamber there are no rotating parts that might cause heating up of the product or shed particles.
2.4. Control panel In the Quattroflow 150S pump is operated with a 50 W brushless Panasonic motor. You can modify the speed of the motor by the control panel on the top of the pump. Main switch. Push to start – the panel lights up...
2.6. Autoclave For sterilization of the pump chamber we recommend the following steps. 1. CIP of the pump chamber according to 2.5 or any other suitable process 2. Empty the pump 3. Remove the pump chamber from the pump drive (see 4.1.1) 4.
3. Safety These operating instructions contain basic hints to be observed during installation, operation and maintenance. Therefore, prior to mounting and commissioning, these operating instructions must by all means be read by the fitter as well as the pertinent expert personnel/customer and must always be available at the place of installation of the pump.
Please pay attention to the further safety regulations. 3.7. Unauthorized reconstruction and spare part usage The use of non-original Quattroflow spare parts or not authorized accessories and reconstructions lead to the lapse of the warranty immediately. When operating such a pump, damages of properties and/or persons cannot be excluded..
Make sure that the slots for the cooling air are not blocked. Due to the versatile possibilities to use the Quattroflow pump it is highly recommended to check case by case if the pump will be the right tool for the specific application.

Quattroflow pumps can lead to bruises when lifting, sinking or assembling them. Appropriate accessories and safety equipments are to be used. Big and heavy modules have to fixed and secured to lifting gears when transporting/replacing them. Disconnect mains before doing any maintenance! The housing of the control box or the motor is to be opened only by skilled personnel.
4. Maintenance/Servicing of the QF 150S Due to the robust construction the Quattroflow pump are widely maintenance-free. The ball bearings do not need any extra lubrication. The diaphragms, valves and o-rings should be checked in regular intervals and if needed they has to be replaced (Service kit diaphragm-valves-o-rings: PSKITQF15MU).
4.1. Replacement of diaphragm, valves and o-rings The replacement of the diaphragm and the valves can be conducted by the operator. The following drawings describe it step-by-step (maintenance kit PSKITQF15MU). In case of bursting diaphragms by overpressure we advice also to change the bearing unit (PSKITWLC155, see chapter 4.2.).
4.1.3. Assembly of the pump chamber to the ring drive Pay attention to the following torque values: Image 2 item 1: Bolts pump chamber 4 Nm (3 lb-ft) Image 2 item 2: Bolt clamping ring 2 Nm (1.5 lb-ft) QF150S; edition 2016-05; page 14 of 19...
4.2. Replacement bearing unit The replacement of the bearing unit (shaft-bearing-cap unit, kit PSKITWLC155) can be conducted by the operator. The following drawings describe it step-by-step. Between both coupling halves has to be a gap of 1 mm (0.039 inch). For further questions and ordering of spare parts please contact the manufacturer.
