Operating instructions Peristaltic Pump ISI Series - (although most unlikely) incorporation of particles from the hose into the product being pumped. This can be achieved by means of filtration, a hose rupture alarm or other means suitable for the respective process.
DESCRIPTION The ISI Series is a positive displacement pump. The feed liquid is conveyed by the rotor squeezing the hose in the direction of flow. No valves are needed for this. This ensures gentle handling of the metered media.
Identification of the gearbox (b) The gearbox has an identity plate with the model, serial number and manufacturer’s details as well as information relevant to its’ function such as reduction ratio. Identification of the electric motor (C) The motor has an identity plate with the model, serial number and manufacturer’s details as well as information relevant to its’...

Operating instructions Peristaltic Pump ISI Series - The pump is reversible and the suction side can be connected to either hydraulic connection of the Pump. Normally the option is selected which is best suited to the physical conditions of the rest of the installation.
Page 19
8.3.3 Discharge side - The discharge line is to be kept as straight and short as possible, in order to avoid performance reduction. - The diameter must correspond to the rated diameter of the pump hose. larger diameter is recommended in the event of viscous liquids.

The shims are fitted in the factory. The number of shims can be adapted to the actual operating conditions according to the following tables. Slight variations in colour of polyurethane rollers is normal. 8.4.1 Model ISI 10 Hose materials – NR, NBR, EPDM, CSM, NR-A and NBR-A: Number of shims of 0.5 mm thickness (part number AX102.01.49).
