1.2 General Description UNIBLOC-PD is a positive displacement rotary lobe pump. It may be supplied with a drive unit (fig. 1.1) or without a drive unit (fig. 1.2). When supplied with a drive unit it is called UNIBLOC-PD assembly. Fig. 1.1 indicates various parts of an assembly.
Make sure the pipes are well supported as the pump is not meant to serve this purpose. Keep in mind that pipes filled with liquid are very heavy. See fig. 2.1 for recommended pipe layout. WRONG RIGHT fig. 2.1 6 UNIBLOC-PD Operation & Service Manual: PD600-677...

If an integrated safety relief valve is installed, do not allow extended periods of recircu- lation through the valve. Unibloc-Pump can either integrate a safety valve with the front cover, or supply one as a separate unit. Please contact your supplier.
If installation of the pump is delayed, store and protect the unit properly by: • Not removing plastic port protectors. • Selecting a clean, dry storage location free from vibration. In a moist or dusty atmosphere, further protect the pump/assembly with suitable cover. 8 UNIBLOC-PD Operation & Service Manual: PD600-677...
Protect the pump from unintended blockage from nuts, bolts, welding slag, etc, by installing a strainer. Also protect the pump from unintended operation against a closed valve by installing a safety/pressure relief valve. Strainers and relief valves can be provided by Unibloc-Pump. •...
In this case, the seal flush chambers are filled through grease nip- ples with approved grease that is suitable for use with the pumped media. Unibloc recommends using Lubriplate Synxtreme FG-2 calcium sulfonate complex grease. The chambers must be filled completely for proper operation.
Always use rubber gloves and protective goggles if handling caustic substances. The rotors and shaft seals in the pump have been selected for specific temperature and pressure conditions. Verify with Unibloc-Pump or the documentation supplied with the pump that the operating parameters are not exceeded.
It is also recommended to have shut-off valves on both sides for easy isolation of pump if manual service is required. The UNIBLOC-PD bearing housing is supplied permanently lubricated with nitrile seals. However, for certain applica- tions and at the user’s request, drain plugs and a vent will be supplied. When applications exceed constant service temperatures of 180º...

4.4.3 Double Mechanical Seal- MODELS: PD600, PD650, PD675 (reference fig. 4.7) This type of shaft seal is used in most applications with products that have a viscosity of less than 14,000 cPs. The maximum rotational speed of this seal is 600 rpm and the maximum service pressure is 20.7 bar (300 psig). The flushed double mechanical seal uses the same Rotating Seal Faces (primary), Stationary Seal Faces (primary), O-rings, Retaining Rings, and Pins as the single mechanical seals discussed in section 4.4.2.
Coat all O-rings, Shafts, and the seal surface of the Wear Sleeves with a lubricant that is acceptable for contact with the product. Slide the Wear Sleeves on the Shafts and locate on the Anti-Rotation Pins. Slide mounting 20 UNIBLOC-PD Operation & Service Manual: PD600-677...
