MCHZ 2 General Pump description The MCHZ is a range of horizontal high-pressure stage pumps with closed impellers. The range consists of the following 6 basic types: • MCHZ 12,5 • MCHZ 14a • MCHZ 14b • MCHZ 16 • MCHZ 20a •...
Pumps are available in various designs. The main characteristics of the pump are shown in the type code. Examples: MCHZ 12,5 x n - 3,2 or MCHZS 20a x n - 8 Pump family Multi stage Centrifugal Horizontal Z (Self-priming)
Bearing construction • All MCHZ pumps are designed with 2 grease-lubricated deep-groove ball bearings. • For the types MCHZ 20a and 20b a double-row angular contact bearing is used on the pressure side. • Pumps with heavy bearing constructions - used for MCHZ 14a and 14b - are fitted with 2 single-row angular contact bearings on the pressure side.
• The bearing is sealed by means of rubber V-rings. 2.6.5 Shaft seal The shaft seal for the MCHZ is available in 2 variants: 1 MCHZ Standardized stuffing box packing rings. Pumps for which the pressure in the stuffing box becomes too high are designed with a balance pipe.
• For models with a stuffing box, check that the gland nuts have not been over- tightened. If necessary slacken the gland nuts and re-tighten them by hand. Installation MCHZ/EN (0912) 4.2...
• When mounting, place temporarily (for the first 24 operating hours) a fine gauze between suction flange and suction pipe to prevent internal pump parts from being damaged by foreign matter. If the risk of damage continues to exist, fit a permanent filter. Installation MCHZ/EN (0912) 4.2...
3 Check the alignment once again using a pair of external callipers (B) at 2 diametrical opposite points on the sides of the coupling halves, see figure 4. 4 Fit the guard. Installation MCHZ/EN (0912) 4.2...
• Refer to the instruction manual belonging to the electric motor. • If possible, mount a working switch as close as possible to the pump. Installation MCHZ/EN (0912) 4.2...
2 Let the motor run for only a short time and check the sense of rotation. 3 If the sense of rotation is not correct, alter the sense of rotation. See the instructions in the user manual belonging to the electric motor. 4 Fit the guard. Commissioning MCHZ/EN (0912) 4.2...
85 dB(A). In that case precautions should be taken, like building a noise-barrier around the unit or wearing hearing protection. Commissioning MCHZ/EN (0912) 4.2...
• If there is a risk that the pumped liquid expands during solidification or freezing, the pump has to be drained and, if necessary, flushed after it has been put out of service. • If the pump is out of service for a long time, it has to be preserved. Maintenance MCHZ/EN (0912) 4.2...
Lubrication of the bearings 5.4.1 MCHZ(S) 12,5 - 14a/b (standard bearings) - 20a/b These pump types are provided with 2RS1 bearings which are filled with grease for their entire duty life and which do not require any maintenance. 5.4.2 MCHZ(S) 16 The ball bearings and the ball bearing housing are filled with a quantity of grease on delivery which is sufficient for the life of the bearing.

1 Close any relevant stop cocks. 2 Drain the pump until no more liquid flows out. An MCHZ(S) pump can not be drained fully in the horizontal position. If possible place the pump vertically on the bearing cover and allow it to drain further.
9. 7.3.1 Replacing the stuffing box packing MCHZ If the pump has to be further dismantled then replacement of the packing rings will be easier if the bearing housings (0010) are removed.
8 Remove the lower external circlip (0220) and the filling ring (0100) from the pump shaft. 9 Remove the bearing cover and the rubber V-ring from the pump shaft. 10 Only for MCHZ: Disassemble the gland (0130) and the packing rings (0150). 7.3.5 Disassembly of the ball bearing 1 Remove both internal circlips (0230) from the bearing bracket.
