HLR pump. The information given herein is based on the most up-to-date data available. INOXPA reserves the right to modify this instructions manual without having to give prior notice. 1.2. START-UP INSTRUCTIONS This instruction manual contains vital and useful information for properly operating the pump and for keeping it in good running condition.
The use of other parts exempts the manufacturer from any and all responsibility. Any change in operating conditions can only be done with the prior written consent of INOXPA. In the event of doubt or should you require a fuller explanation on particular data (adjustment, assembly, disassembly...), please do not hesitate to contact us 1.Safety...
3.3. APPLICATION The main advantage of the INOXPA HLR rotary lobe pump is its capacity to pump a great variety of viscous liquids, from 1 mPa.s up to 100.000 mPa.s Furthermore, it is capable of pumping liquid products that require very careful handling and liquids that contain soft solids thus causing only a minimum degradation of same.

The range of application for each type of pump is limited. The pump was selected for a given set of pumping conditions when the order was placed. INOXPA shall not be liable for any damage resulting from the incompleteness of the information provided by the purchaser (nature of the fluid, rpm, etc.).
Serial number Pump plate 4.2. TRANSPORT AND STORAGE HLR pumps and pumping units are often too heavy to be handled manually. Use an adequate means of transport. Use the points which are indicated in the drawing for lifting the pump.

• When the grout has entirely hardened the pump unit can be placed on the base plate or the frame. Tighten the nuts on the foundation bolts carefully. For other foundations consult INOXPA. 4.4. COUPLING For the couplings selection and assembly consult to the supplier manual. Sometimes the torque of the positive displacement pumps can be high enough.
If the seal requires flush media, the media supply and the purchase and installation of piping, valves ... for the media are not the responsibility of INOXPA. The flush shaft seal option is available on all seal types. Use the sectional drawings of the HLR seal options to purchase additional parts.
4.7. PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE The positive displacement lobe pumps must be protected from excess pressure when they are operating. Consequently, all the HLR pumps can be fitted with a stainless steel pressure relief valve or a pressure by-pass 4.7.1. Protection This valve protects the pump and prevents excessively high pressure arising in the circuit.
The end user must adjust the valve to the correct pressure. When an overflow valve or a pressure bypass does not operate properly, the pump must immediately be removed from service for repair. The valve must be examined by the INOXPA technical assistance personnel. (A) 2021/11 5.Start-up...

When checking the relief valve also make sure the pump's pressure will NEVER exceed the pressure setting + 2 bar. When the relief valve does not work properly, the pump must be taken out of service immediately. The valve must be inspected by an INOXPA service technician. 5.Start-up (A) 2021/11...
The table given below provides solutions to problems that might arise during pump operation. With respect to the same, it is assumed that the pump has been properly installed and has been correctly selected for the application in question. Should there be a need for technical service please contact INOXPA. Operating problems...

7.3. CLEANING 7.3.1. Manual cleaning The use of aggressive cleaning products such as caustic soda and nitric acid may give rise to skin burns. Use rubber gloves during the cleaning process. Always use protective goggles. 7.3.2. Automatic CIP (cleaning-in-place) If the pump is installed in a system fitted with a CIP process, there will be no need for stripping. The recommended minimum liquid speed for an effective process of cleaning is 1,8 m/s (minimum Re >...
Incorrect assembly or disassembly may cause damage in the pump's operation and lead to high repair costs and a long period of down-time. INOXPA is not responsible for accidents or damages caused by a failure to comply with the instructions in this manual.

The maximum viscosity allowed will depend on the nature of the liquid and the sliding speed of the seal faces. Consult INOXPA should the viscosity be still greater. Use special protection when the noise level in the operation area exceeds 85 dB(A).
