GENERAL Environment and disposal of waste CAUTION Always observe the local rules and regula- tions with respect to processing (non reus- able) parts of the hose pump. Enquire within your local government about the possibilities reuse environment-friendly processing of packaging materials, (contaminated) lubricant and oil.
SAFETY SAFETY Symbols In this manual the following symbols are used: WARNING Procedures which, if not carried out with the necessary care, may result in serious damage to the hose pump or in serious bodily harm. CAUTION Procedures which, if not carried out with the necessary care, may result in serious damage to the hose pump, the surrounding area or the environment.
European Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX). The pumps belong to: • Group II Appliances, category 2 GD bck T5 Use in Potentially explosive atmospheres requires special configuration of the pump unit. Contact your Bredel representative for use in explosive atmospheres.
Depending on the specific working conditions or accessories used, additional safety instructions can be required. Immediately contact your Bredel representative, if you noticed a potential danger while using your hose pump. WARNING The user of the hose pump is always fully responsible for observing the local valid safety regulations and directives.
If parts are used that are not Watson-Marlow Bredel B.V. (hereafter called Bredel) parts, every warranty becomes void. Damaged parts which are covered by the applicable...

DESCRIPTION Construction of the pump Cover Rotor Pump hose Pump housing Support Gearbox Electric motor Frequency controller 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...

DESCRIPTION (C). A bearing-mounted rotor (D) with two facing integral pressing shoes (E) is in the centre of the pump head. In phase 1 the lower shoe compresses the pump hose by the rotational movement of the rotor, forcing the fluid through the hose.
The Bredel pump hoses have been carefully machined, therefore there are minimum tolerances in wall thickness. It is very important to guarantee the correct compression of the pump hose, because: •...
4.4.3 Lubrication and cooling The pumphead, in which the rotor and pump hose can be found, is filled with Bredel Genuine Hose Lubricant. This lubricant lubricates the movement between the hose and the pressing shoes and dissipates the generated heat via the pump housing and the cover.
DESCRIPTION Electric motor If the electric motor has been standard supplied by the manufacturer, it is a standardized squirrel-cage motor. Refer to § 11.3 for specifications. If the pump is to be used in potentially explosive atmospheres, refer to chapter 10. Frequency controller Refer to the also supplied documentation of the supplier and §...
Inspection Check that your delivery is correct and check it for any transport damage. Refer to § 4.1.1. Report any damage immediately to your Bredel representative. Installation conditions 5.3.1 Ambient conditions...
• The bore size of the suction and discharge lines must be larger than the bore size of the pump hose. For more information consult your Bredel representative. • Limit the presence of sharp bends in the discharge line.
INSTALLATION Maximum permissible loads [N] on the pump connections Force Bredel 10 Bredel 15 Bredel 20 5.3.4 Frequency controller WARNING A frequency controller that is fitted without the manual control can start automatically when power is applied. If the hose pump is fitted with a frequency controller, consider the following points: •...
INSTALLATION Lifting and moving the pump For lifting and moving the hose pump, the pump support has a lifting eye (A). The complete hose pump, i.e. pump head, gearbox and electric motor, must be lifted using the lifting eye plus additional support using suitably rated straps or slings (A).
Check that the lubricant level is above the minimum level line in the inspection window. If necessary refill with Bredel Genuine Hose Lubricant via the breather plug. See also § 7.5. Commissioning Connect the pipework.
Page 27
Check the capacity of the hose pump. If the capacity differs from your specification, follow the instructions in chapter or consult your Bredel representative. Check the capacity range of the frequency controller. In case of any deviations consult the documentation of the supplier.
WARNING Only use original Bredel parts when main- taining the hose pump. Bredel cannot guarantee correct operation and any con- sequential damage that occurs from the use of non-original Bredel components.

If a cleaning fluid is added to the water, check if the hose liner material is resistant to it. Also check if the pump hose can resist the cleaning temperature. Special cleaning balls are also available. Contact your Bredel representative for more details.
MAINTENANCE Changing lubricant 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. The pump housing can be filled with lubricant via the breather (A) on the cover.
Page 32
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.
Replace the cover and fasten the retaining bolts with the correct torque. Refer to § 11.1.6. Switch on the electrical supply to the pump. 7.6.3 Fitting the pump hose Clean the (new) pump hose on the outside and fully lubricate it with Bredel Genuine Hose Lubricant.
Page 34
MAINTENANCE Fit the pump hose (A) via one of the ports. Let the motor run to let the rotor pull the hose in the pump housing. Stop the motor when the hose sticks out equally from both sides of the pump housing.
Now fit the other port. For this port proceed in the same way as described above for the inlet port. Fill the pump housing with Bredel Genuine Hose Lubricant. Refer to § 7.5. Connect the suction and discharge lines. Exchanging replacement parts 7.7.1...
Page 36
MAINTENANCE Put the hose pump on blocks. Make sure the space between the blocks is wide enough for the rotor to fall. Remove the nuts (B), the washers (C) and the pump drive (A). Put a plastic or wooden drive pin (A) on the rotor.
Page 37
MAINTENANCE Dismount the bearings (A), the spacer ring (B) and the retaining ring (C) with the correct tool. Clean the hub. Remove the seal ring (A). Clean and degrease the bore. Fit a new seal ring (A) using good engineering practises.
Page 38
MAINTENANCE Mount the circlip (A). Fit the rotor (A). The rotor is placed on the bearings with a loose fit. Press the rotor on the hub until it clicks on the retaining ring. Put the hose pump on two blocks. Fit the pump drive (A) with the nuts (B) and washers (C).
MAINTENANCE Fitting options 7.8.1 Fitting a high-level float switch Dismount the standard breather (A) on the cover of the pump head. Mount the breather (A) with high-level float switch. Connect the high-level float switch to the auxiliary power circuit via the 2-metre long PVC cable (2 x 0.34 mm ).
MAINTENANCE Where the float switch is constructed to stop the equipment, operating has to be arranged so that the stop function locks out, preventing the equipment from being re-started without re-setting. Check if the float switch is mounted with the NC sign at the top.
STORAGE STORAGE Hose pump • Store the hose pump and pump parts in a dry area. Make sure that the hose pump and pump parts are not exposed to temperatures lower than -40 °C or higher than +70 °C. • Cover the openings of the inlet and outlet ports.
If the hose pump does not function (correctly), consult the following checklist to see if you can remedy the error yourself. If this is not the case, contact your Bredel representative. Problem...
