3.1 - IDENTIFICATION OF THE PUMP ALBIN PUMPS are identifiable by the pump plate located on the frame. This one includes the type and serial number of the pump. This serial number leads to all information concerning building materials, nature of the hose, characteristics of the gearbox and characteristics of the motor.
1928 3.4 - HOSE The ALBIN PUMP hoses are manufactured according to very strict specifications to acquire the best perfor- mances of the pump and to assure an optimum hose life. They are available in different materials : Natural Rubber (NR), perbunan (NBR), EPDM, Neoprene, Norprene, Pharmed, Silicone and Hypalon.
ALBIN PUMP distributor as soon as possible. 4.2 - CONDITIONS OF USE ALP pumps can work in atmospheres where the temperature is situated between - 20°C and +45°C. Pumps are delivered painted with a 150µ polyurethane paint which allows them to resist to certain aggressive ambi- ences.
Make sure that valves at the inlet and outlet are opened. c. Start the pump by checking its direction of rotation by the sight glass. d.Check the flow and discharge pressure and ajust rollars if these figures don’t match the pump speci- fications.

1 - Complementary instructions for ATEX certified material All ALBIN PERISTALTIC PUMPS are certified with II 2G T4, II 3G T4 or II 2D T4 certification. The pumps are machines whose surface temperatures are very dependent on the temperature of the product that they pump.
5 - Dry running the pumps The Albin peristaltic pumps can function in the absence of liquid in the pump, without causing heating of the pump higher than the classified of temperature T, in particular for the period of starting-up of the pump.
6 - Remplacement of parts The parts should be replaced only by original Albin parts which correspond to the configuration of origin of the pump. If necessary, the characteristics of the pump are modified and the ATEX certification of the pump is not applicable any more.
9.2 - Ground connection of the pump A bonding strip lug can be seen on the frames and on the pump housing of ALP type pumps. 9.3 - ATEX characteristics of the motor or the motor reducer of the pump The motor or motor reducer must have ATEX characteristics adapted to recognized use (group gas IIB, class of temperature T4) and must explosion-proof.
