DESCRIPTION Construction of the pump Pump hose Pump housing Rotor Pressing shoes Cover Support Gearbox Electric motor Adapter without motor (option) Frequency controller (option)
DESCRIPTION Operation of the pump The heart of the pump head consists of a specially constructed pump hose (A) which lies contorted against the inside of the pump housing (B). Both ends of the hose are connected to the suction and discharge lines by means of a flange construction (C).
DESCRIPTION Pump hose 4.4.1 General Outer extruded layer made of natural rubber Four nylon reinforcement layers Inner extruded liner The pump hose liner material should be chemically resistant with the product to be pumped. Dependent on the specific requirements of your application a corresponding pump hose must be selected.
DESCRIPTION 4.4.2 Hose compression force adjustment (shimming) In order to achieve optimal life of the pump hose, the compression force of the pump hose can be adjusted by placing a number of shims under the pressing shoes. The shims (A) are fitted between the rotor (B) and the pressing shoe (C).
DESCRIPTION Electric motor If the electric motor has been standard supplied by the manufacturer, it is an integrated standardized squirrel- cage motor. Refer to § 10.4 for specifications. If the pump used potentially explosive atmospheres, contact your Bredel representative. Motor frequency controller Refer to the also supplied documentation of the supplier and §...

COMMISSIONING COMMISSIONING Preparations WARNING A Bredel VFD that is fitted without the con- trol switch starts automatically when power is applied. WARNING Disconnect and lock the power supply to the pump drive before any work is carried out. In case the motor is fitted with a frequency controller and has a single-phase power supply, wait two minutes to make sure that the capacitors have discharged.
COMMISSIONING Commissioning Connect the pipework. Make sure that there are no obstructions such as closed valves. Switch on the hose pump. Check the rotation of the rotor. Check the capacity of the hose pump. If the capacity differs from your specification, follow the instructions in chapter or consult your Bredel representative.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE General WARNING Disconnect and lock the power supply to the pump drive before any work is carried out. In case the motor is fitted with a frequency controller and has a single-phase power supply, wait two minutes to make sure that the capacitors have discharged.

MAINTENANCE The pump housing can be filled with lubricant via the breather/vent (A) on the rear of the pump housing. For this purpose remove the breather cap (B) and position a funnel (C) in the breather. In order to facilitate the filling with lubricant the breather cap (D) on the rear of the pump housing can be removed.
MAINTENANCE Changing oil in gearbox Isolate the pump from the electrical supply. Remove plug (A) and let the oil run out of the gearbox. The plug (A) is magnetically loaded. In this way metal particles in the oil are pulled to the plug. Clean the plug and remove any metal particles if necessary.
Page 29
MAINTENANCE Place a tray (A) under the drain plug in the bottom of the pump head. The tray must be large enough to contain the lubricant, possibly contaminated with product fluid, from the pump head. Remove the drain plug (B). Catch the lubricant from the pump housing in the tray.
Page 30
MAINTENANCE Loosen the retaining bolts (A) of the flange bracket (B) and remove the bolts. Slide the flange bracket and the hose clip (C) off the hose. Carry out this procedure both for the inlet and outlet ports. Slide off the sealing ring (A). Check that the sealing ring is not deformed or damaged and replace it if necessary.
MAINTENANCE 7.6.2 Cleaning the pump head Isolate the pump from the electrical supply. Remove the cover (B) by loosening the retaining bolts (A). Check the sealing ring (C) and replace it if necessary. Rinse the pump head with clean water and remove all residues.
Page 32
MAINTENANCE Fit the pump hose (A) via one of the ports. Let the motor run to pull the hose in the pump housing. The rotor will take up the hose. Stop the motor when the hose sticks out equally from both sides of the pump housing.
Page 33
MAINTENANCE Slide insert (B) in flange (A) and press the insert in the hose. If necessary lubricate the insert with Bredel Genuine Hose Lubricant in order to simplify mounting. Make sure that the holes in flange (A) are aligned with the holes in flange bracket (C).
MAINTENANCE Connect the suction and discharge lines (B) and fit the retaining bolts (A). Tighten the retaining bolts with the correct torque. Refer to § 10.1.6. Exchanging replacement parts 7.7.1 Replacing pressing shoes Jog the motor until the pressing shoe (B) is positioned between the inlet and outlet port (A).
Page 35
MAINTENANCE Remove the cover (A) by loosening the four retaining bolts (B). Loosen the retaining bolt (A) of the pressing shoe (B) and remove the shoe. Remove the shims (C) if present. Fit the removed shims (C) again. Position the (new) pressing shoe (B), check that the Nord- ®...
MAINTENANCE Isolate the pump from the electrical supply. Repeat the procedure for removing and fitting this second pressing shoe by repeating steps 4 through 8. Refill the lubricant. Refer to § 7.4. 7.7.2 Replacing seal ring, bearings and wear ring Remove the pump hose.
Page 37
MAINTENANCE Use two crow bars to remove rotor (A). Position both crow bars behind the recesses (B) in the rotor and push the rotor from the hub. Dismount the retaining circlip (A) with the correct tool. Dismount the bearings (A) with the correct tool, the spacer ring (B) and the retaining circlip (C).
Page 38
MAINTENANCE Fit a new seal (A) using good engineering practises. The seal must be fitted in the correct orientation (B). Make sure that the open side points to the pump cover. Support the rotor with wooden blocks at 90° to the spokes, with the ring (A) facing down.
Page 39
MAINTENANCE Mount the retaining circlip (A). Fit rotor (A). The rotor is placed on the bearings with a loose fit. Press the rotor on the hub until it sticks. Fit the removed shims (C) again. Position the (new) pressing shoe (B), check that the Nord- ®...
MAINTENANCE Adjusting hose compression force (shimming) Remove the pump cover before fitting and removing shims. In order to determine the correct number of shims for your specific application refer to § 10.1.7. CAUTION Too many shims, this means a too high compression force on the pump hose, will create a too high load on the pump head and pump hose, which may result in a...

MAINTENANCE Place a tray (A) under the drain plug in the cover of the pump. Remove the drain plug (B). Catch the lubricant from the pump housing in the tray. Position the drain plug and tighten it firmly. Remove the cover (B) by loosening the retaining bolts (A).
MAINTENANCE Isolate the pump from the electrical supply. Repeat the procedure for this pressing shoe by repeating steps 4, 5, 6 and 7. Refill the lubricant via the breather. Refer to § 7.4. Fitting options 7.9.1 Fitting a high-level float switch Dismount the standard breather (B) on the rear of the pump, by dismounting it from crimp connector (A).
Page 43
MAINTENANCE Mount the breather (B) on the rear of the pump, by mounting it on crimp connector (A). Connect the high-level float switch to the auxiliary power circuit via the 2-metre long PVC cable (2 x 0.34 mm ). Bear in mind that the electrical contact of the float switch is normally closed (NC).
MAINTENANCE 7.9.2 Fitting a high and low level float switch For specifications, refer to § 7.9.1. If the pump is filled with lubricant this must be removed first. Place a tray (A) under the drain plug in the cover of the pump. Remove the drain plug (B).
MAINTENANCE 7.9.3 Replacing the revolution counter Fit the inductive sensor (A) in stop (B) and adjust it to dimension "X" as indicated in the table below. Tighten the adjusting nuts with a torque of 25 Nm. Dimension "X" ± 0.1 mm Bredel 25 Bredel 32 26 mm...
