Code system The ALMATEC Maschinenbau GmbH is certified as a modern, quality‐orientated enterprise according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2008 and 14001:2009. Before release for dispatch, any pump has to undergo an extended final control. As a general rule in the countries of the EU only such machines are allowed to take into operation, which are ...
Piping systems and product connections have to be grounded separately. To avoid ignition hazards the formation of dust deposits on the pumps must be prevented. In explosion proof areas repair working only after careful inspection of the practicability and only with appropriate tools. For the ATEX marking according to 94/9/EG please see the attached conformity declaration and the according pump label.

In general, the pump has to be connected load free. Neglecting this causes leakage and maybe even damages. To avoid vibrations, pulsation dampers and compensators are recommended. Before connecting the pump, take the blind plugs out of all connections. The connections of ALMATEC CXM pumps have slightly tapered threads. Use threadseal only sparingly, otherwise the connections could be damaged. ...

Both ports piping are to be closed and drained if applicable. Further the pump has to be cut off from any energy on the air and product side. If the pump is being deported from the plant, a reference about the delivered liquid has to be attached. Please respect the relevant additional security advices, if the pump has been used for aggressive, dangerous or toxic liquids (e.g. suitable protective equipment according to the safety data sheet of the liquid). In case of a diaphragm rupture, it is possible that residues of the liquid remain behind the diaphragms, in the area of the air control system and at the muffler, despite of several flushing processes. Hence, appropriate safety equipment according to the safety data sheet of the liquid is indispensable. Before putting the pump back into operation, the tightness of the pump has to be checked. Air‐operated diaphragm pumps can lead to bruises when lifting, sinking or assembling them. Appropriate accessories and safety equipment are to be used. Big and heavy modules have to fixed and secured to lifting gears when transporting/replacing them. Especially when deliver critical liquids, wear parts, like diaphragms, should be replaced within a preventive maintenance. The use of non‐original ALMATEC spare parts and structural changes lead to the lapse of the warranty immediately. When operating such a pump, damages of properties and/or persons cannot be excluded. The operation of the pump with nitrogen as driving gas is possible. In closed rooms sufficient ventilation must be provided. Possible electrical connections (e.g. when using optional equipment with controllers) may be executed by a qualified person only. The regulations of the respective manufacturers are to be followed. At any work arising it has to be made sure that no explosive atmosphere can appear. Appropriate safety equipment is recommended. Procedure for pump return: According to the requirements of our 14001‐certification, every unit which is send to ALMATEC for diagnosis or maintenance reasons has to be accompanied by a filled out decontamination‐sheet. Otherwise a processing is not possible. The decontamination‐sheet is enclosed to this manual. Please pay attention to the further safety regulations. ...
PTFE keeps mechanically stable as well for an extended temperature range. ALMATEC pumps of the CXM series can therefore be operated safely as well within low‐ temperature installations: However, with liquids below 0°C (32°F) accelerated wear of internal parts has to be ...
