  • Page 5: Descriptive Notes

    NOTICE Identifies a risk of damage to material goods if not avoided. 1.2 Descriptive notes Twin-screw displacement pumps are machines with two counter-rotating shafts, synchronized by a gear placed externally to the pumping casing. The two shafts support as many rotors, which engaging, rotate inside a gauged stator and transfer fluid volumes separated from the suction casing to the discharge casing.
  • Page 6: Safety Warnings

    2 SAFETY WARNINGS The following occurs during operation: DANGER - Electric parts are under tension. - Mechanical parts are moving. - Pump casing, pipes and couplings under internal pressure. Therefore, do not remove any protection or locking device; do not loosen screws or fastenings, as this can cause serious damage to persons or objects.
  • Page 7: Dangers Arising From The Use Of The Machine

    - Pumping of acids or abrasive liquids, unless otherwise approved by our company; - Pumping of gas or gaseous substances; - Closing the outlet valve; - Reversing the flow, unless otherwise approved by our company; - Dry start, etc. DANGER The pump must always be used in an environment suitable to the level of protection of the motor.
  • Page 8: Potentially Explosive Atmosphere

    The pump must be protected by the costumer in a way that prevents people from inserting their hands in the indicated openings while the rotors are moving. In case of operations with the rotors stopped, ensure the motor cannot start accidentally. The risk is greater if the tubes are disassembled and the pump is open. 2.5 Potentially explosive atmosphere Follow the indications on explosion protection given in this section in case of operation in potentially explosive atmospheres.
  • Page 9: Maintenance Warnings

    NOTICE Make sure that the temperature of the fluid processed by the pump does not change abruptly. If this is inevitable, stop the pump for enough time (see par. 7.2.1) If the pump is supplied with a bare shaft, when selecting the coupling motor it is necessary to consider the following conditions: - The temperature limit allowed to the flange and drive shaft must be higher than the temperature generated by the pump;...

Description Inlet connection Pump cover Pump casing Intermediate Casing...
  • Page 12: Mechanical Seals

    4.3 Mechanical seals The mechanical seal is a device designed to retain the fluid so that it does not get out of the pump. It consists of two sliding surfaces, one rotating in relation to the other, kept in axial contact by the pressure generated by the fluid (hydraulic force) and by the presence of components, such as springs or bellows (mechanical force).

  • Page 14: Transportation

    5 TRANSPORTATION 5.1 Transportation The packaging of all pumps manufactured by C.S.F. Inox S.p.A. is defined when placing the order. Unless prior arrangements, the goods are packed only for transit conditions and not for long-term storage; if it should be necessary to store the pumps outside, the pumps must be appropriately covered in order to protect the electrical parts (motor drive) from rain, dust, humidity etc.
  • Page 16: Installation

    6 INSTALLATION 6.1 Pump preparation DANGER Position the pump over a plain surface. DANGER Do not start the pump without protections to avoid contact hazards!! The entire machine must be protected from any static charge. The connection between the drive shaft and the pump shaft must be protected from contact hazards! WARNING There must be enough space around the pump to allow for maintenance operations.
  • Page 17: Motor Transmission Couplings

    6.2 Motor transmission couplings Drive for independently mounted is transmitted via flexible couplings designed to absorb impact and torsional vibration. These couplings compensate for both angular and radial misalignment and can sustain variations in load and rotation inversion. The couplings are sized in compliance with DIN 740/2 standards. A coupling is sized so that the maximum moment transmitted by the coupling in different operating conditions is less than the maximum permissible strain for the coupling itself.
  • Page 18: Connection To The Piping

    Subject to authorization, it is possible to reverse the fluid movement changing the direction of rotation of the motor. Such operation is allowed for short periods at reduced differential pressures. For more information, please contact C.S.F. via the contact details in the end of this manual. 6.4 Connection to the piping Before connection clean the piping and remove foreign bodies (e.g.
  • Page 19: Checks Prior To Start-Up (!)

    6.5 Checks prior to start-up (!) If cleaning or repairs have been performed or if the first start-up is about to be carried out, ensure all the screws are correctly and completely screwed before starting the pump. In case of pumps for hazardous fluids, comply with the indications provided for such materials. The costumer must ensure that the pump is installed in the right position and with all the necessary safety devices (sensors, switches, pressure gauges, etc.)! The pump must always be filled with the product before the start-...
  • Page 20 When starting the motor, current absorption raises (5-6 times the nominal value) for a very short period; if the network cannot bear this absorption increase, we advise to use star or delta starters or other systems (for example auto-transformer). C.S.F. Inox S.p.A. is not liable for damages to persons and/or objects in case of non-observance of technical directions and laws.
  • Page 21: Operation

    7 OPERATION 7.1 Preliminary operations - Check that the pump turns in the marked direction. - The suction pipe and the pump must be filled with liquid. Two possible cases can be distinguished: a) When the pump must operate with a negative suction head, it must be filled by introducing liquid into the pipes.
  • Page 22: Cip/Sip

    Temperature Waiting time [s] difference [°C] 7.3 CIP/SIP The twin-screw pump can perform Cleaning/Sterilizing in Place launch. If one wishes to use the pump for processing and for washing and sterilization purposes, it is necessary to notify CSF SpA during the selection phase, in order to receive a machine suitable for the performance requested and for the processed fluids.
