4. Baseplate 3.3. PUMP OPERATIONS DCS pumps are volumetric devices fitted with two screws without contact between rotating parts. The synchronism between the rotors is ensured by a timing gear located outside the bearing casing. The medium goes into the pump casing from the suction body and it is inspired by the screws and pushed toward the discharge casing.
Safety 4. Safety Do not use the DCS pumps outside the prescribed limits contractually without the express consent of the INOXPA. The unauthorized use outside of the pressure and temperature limits may cause the deterioration of the seals, the binding and the explosion of the pump. Products with a viscosity higher than those prescribed by the contract can cause overheating of the pump.

Standards. Use original parts or parts approved by INOXPA exclusively. 8.3. GENERAL INFORMATION ON MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES The DCS series pumps require regular maintenance and care like all mechanical equipment. An incorrectly repaired pump could cause premature breakage and unsafe conditions. To ensure product longevity and safety, maintenance operations must be performed by properly trained technicians.
To ensure a good pump working, it is necessary to take care of the mounting and bearing box lubrication. The twin screw pumps DCS series are always constructed with the gearbox, and are lubricated with oil. Consult the data sheets of the pump, enclosed to this handbook, to verify both the type and the quantity of the required lubricant.
