1 GENERAL How to use this manual This manual is intended as a reference book by means of which qualified users are able to install, commission and maintain the hose pumps mentioned on the front cover. Other supplied documentation In this manual the documentation of pump components i.e. engines, etc. is not included. But if the documentation of a certain component is part of this manual, you must respect and act according the instructions as given in the supplied documentation.
2 SAFETY Pictograms 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.
Qualification of the user The installation, use and maintenance of the hose pump is only reserved for well trained and qualified users. Temporary staff and persons in training may only use the hose pump under the supervision and responsibility of well trained and qualified users. Regulations and instructions •...
3 WARRANTY CONDITIONS The manufacturer offers a one–year warranty on proper workmanship of all parts of the hose pump. Exclusion is made for normal wear and tear of consumables, such as pump hoses, lubricant, hose clamps, pressing shoes, ball bearings, wear ring, an seals, or parts which have been misused or damaged through negligence.
4 DESCRIPTION Identification of the product The hose pump can be identified based on the identification plates or stickers on: A. Pump hose B. Pumphead C. Gearbox D. Electric motor E. Pump hose The identification plate on the pumphead contains the following data: A.
Operation of the pump The heart of the pumphead consists of a specially constructed pump hose which lies contorted against the inside of the pump housing. Both ends of the hose are connected to the suction and discharge lines by means of a flange construction. A bearing-mounted rotor with two facing pressing shoes is in the center of the pumphead.
Pump hose 4.4.1 General The pump hose is made of special rubbers, reinforced with nylon cords and is constructed as follows: A. Outer extruded layer made of natural rubber B. Nylon reinforcement layers C. 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.
4.4.5 Electric motor The hose pump type described in this manual use various types of motors. If the pump is to be used in potentially explosive atmospheres, please contact your Bredel representative, as these type of pumps are not in compliance with ATEX. 4.4.6 Available options The following options are available for the hose pump:...
5 INSTALLATION Unpacking When unpacking carefully follow the instructions as given on the packaging or on the hose pump. Inspections Check that your delivery is correct and check it for any transport damage, see “Description: “Identification of the product”, § 4.1. Report any damage immediately to your Bredel representative.
CAUTION Consider the maximum permissible working pressure on the discharge side. Exceeding the maximum working pressure may lead to serious damage to the pump. • Make sure that the maximum forces on the flanges are not exceeded. The maximum permissible loads on the pump flange are given in the table below: Force F1 [N] SP/10 SP/15 SP/20 SP25 SP/32 SP/40 SP/50 SP/65 SP/80 SP/100...
WARNING If the pump is to be lifted ensure that all standard lifting practices are adhered to and carried out by qualified personnel only. Placing the pump Position the pump on a horizontal surface. Use suitable anchor bolts to attach the pump to the floor surface.
6 COMMISSIONING Preparations • Connect the electric motor in conformance with the locally applicable rules and regulations. Have the electrical installation work be carried out by qualified personnel. • The pump casing is filled to half way level with a specially compounded hose lubricant.
7 MAINTENANCE WARNING Only use original Bredel parts when maintaining the hose pump. Bredel cannot guarantee a correct functioning and any consequential damage that occurs from the use of non-original Bredel components, also see: “Safety” and “Warranties”. Maintenance and periodic inspections In the diagram below it is indicated which maintenance and periodic inspections need to be carried out on the hose pump to guarantee an optimal safety, operation and life of the pump.
Cleaning pump hose With a lot of products it is necessary to have the pump hose cleaned immediately after pumping to avoid hardening of the product inside. The inside of the pump hose can be easily cleaned by rinsing the pump with clean water. If a cleaning fluid is added to the water, it must be checked that the hose liner material is resistant to that.
7.5.6 Removal of flange brackets Remove the flange bracket (SP/25-SP/100) or flange bracket and insert (SP/10, SP/15 and SP/20) on both suction and discharge port. 7.5.7 Removal of the hose The hose can be removed without removing the pump cover. Simply remove the hose by jogging the drive motor.
7.6.1 Mount flange brackets (SP/25 to SP/100) • Mount the flange brackets on the suction port by replacing the bolts. • Do not tighten the bolts at this stage! • Mount the flange and the insert • Mount the suction line 7.6.2 Positioning of pump hose Jog the motor in the direction of the suction port to drive the hose against the flange face.
CAUTION When the pressing shoes are worn the compression force of the hose could decrease. If the compression force is too low, this results in a loss of capacity by the backflow of the liquid to be pumped. Backflow results in a reduction of the life of the pump hose.
• Pre-grease bearings with lithium grease. • Use arbor press and press new bearings on shaft. Coat shaft areas with anti-seize compound to facilitate assembly. • Press oil seal into housing. • Insert joint ring into bearing cover groove. • Press shaft assembly into housing.
• Refit the inspection window. Check the gasket for damage and replace if necessary. Make sure that all bolts are refitted and that they are tightened in the correct order, diagonally opposite each other, see “Specifications”: “Torques”, § 10.1.6. • Switch on the electrical supply.
8 STORAGE Hose pump Store the hose pump or pump parts in a dry area. Make sure that the hose pump or 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.
9 TROUBLESHOOTING 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, please contact your Bredel representative. Problem Possible Cause Correction Failure to operate No voltage Check that the supply power switch is on.

The filling degree of the pump hose Consult your Bredel representative for a is too low, because the speed is too recommendation. high in relation to the viscosity of the product to be pumped and the inlet pressure. The suction line can be too long or too narrow or a combination of these factors.
10.1.4 Surface treatment The pumphead is provided with a two component epoxy base coat. After drying the layer thickness must be at least 30 microns. Subsequently these components are provided with a two component polyurethane top coat, in the RAL 5017 colour blue and with a 100% gloss rate. After this coat of paint has dried the layer thickness must be at least 30 microns.
