Heathro Fish Pump Manual
3. Explanation of Parts
Heathro Fish pump is made of aluminum and fiberglass
and provides very gentle handling of fish during
transport. The pump is 6 "but can be reduced down to 4",
5 "or 3" with purpose made fish friendly cam lock
reducer kits.
The pump is available in three versions, the standard
electric which is the most popular version , and also
hydraulic and petrol-driven.
Large handles and rubber wheels alow the pump to
easily move around eneven ground. Camlock quick
couplings are used for simple and safe connection of hoses.
3.1 Pump Body
The Heathro pump body shell is made using a specially
moulded form developed with over 20 years experience
in the production of fibre glass fish farming equipment.
Inside the pump body there is an aluminum impellor
which leads fish and water through the pump. The
impellor speed can be be fully controlled as required,
either directly from the main pump control box or by
radio remote control.
3.2 Main Motor
The main 4kW motor drives the impellor with two belts
located under the pump body .
The motor is controlled by a frequency converter (Altivar
31), making it easy to regulate the pumping speed as
required. Note: If the wiring of the the main power
socket is inverted the internal circuit breaker will trip
cutting the power to the main pump preventing the
motor turning in the wrong direction.
3.3 Priming motor
The Priming motor drives the priming pump that creates
the suction inside the main fish pump before the main
pump is started. This motor is 1.5 kW and has no rotation
protection.
Note: If the wiring of the main power socket is inverted
the priming motor may turn in the wrong direction and
must be recitifed .
