2. Safety

2.1. Declaration

Within the meaning of the EC-directive
"Machinery":
A pump never functions independently. It is
intended to be incorporated into machinery. It
should only be put into service if the machinery

2.2. Designated use

The pump is intended to be built into a piping
installation and to increase the pressure and
velocity of the liquid coming into the inlet via the
suction pipe and discharge it to the discharge
pipe via the outlet of the pump. Therefore the
motor must be supplied by an electrical power
supply according to the nameplate of the motor.
The load of the motor depends on the flow of the
pump. The motor was selected for the duty point
stated on the nameplate of the pump. If the pump
must operate at another duty point, check if the
installed motor is suited for these circumstances.
Every pump is specifically built for a particular
application. The pump parts, materials, seals and
motor power have been chosen according to:
• the liquid (composition, physical and chemical
properties),
• the required pump capacity (pressure, mini-
mum and maximum flow),
• the mains voltage available,
• Operating circumstances (system pressure,
presence of air bubbles or solids, place of
installation).
has been declared to conform to the provisions
of the EC-directive "Machinery". (2006/42/EC).
PACKO INOX LTD reserves the right to carry out
technical modifications that might be necessary
to improve the products that are not mentioned
in this manual.
The viscosity of the circulated liquid must be
between 0.35 cP and 1000 cP (maximum 250
cP for FMS and NMS pumps). The liquid cannot
contain air (except for CRP, IRP, PRP, and MSP
pumps) or solids (except for IFF, MFF, VPC and
VDK pumps). The system pressure and the tem-
perature of the circulated liquid must not exceed
the temperature mentioned in chapter 2.3. The
minimum flow in continuous duty is 1 m³/h per
kW installed motor power. For FMS and NMS
pumps the minimum flow is 0.5 m³/h irrespec-
tive of the installed motor power. The ambient
temperature must be between 0°C and 40°C.
The pump cannot be installed higher than 1000
m above sea level.
For pumps supplied under guideline 2014/34/
EC (Atex), all statements on the declaration of
conformity are part of the designated use.
Every other use or an utilization going beyond
the specifications is considered contrary to its
designated use and excludes liability by the
manufacturer PACKO. All safety notes stated in
2.3 form an integral part of the designated use.
