  • Page 9 HOSE The Albin hoses are manufactured according to very strict specifications to acquire the best performances of the pump and to assure an optimum hose life. They are available in three materials: Natural Rubber (NR), perbunan (NBR), EPDM, NBR food and Hypalon. The material of the hose must be compatible with the pumped liquid. Consult an Albin pump distributor to define the best hose for your process or consult the chemical resistance table on our website albinpump.com.

  • Page 10 During the reception of the pump, please follow the indications pointed out on the packing. Undertake a visual control to be sure that no damage happened during the transport. If this is the case, please contact your Albin pump distributor as soon as possible.
  • Page 11 LIFTING THE PUMP Pumps are provided with two lift rings fitted on the upper part of the frame. While lifting the pump, respect the following points: - Lift the complete hose pump using the lifting rings plus additional support on the gearbox and the motor using suitably rated straps or slings. - Never exceed the upper limits of lift and control the motorized pump weights in the table below. - The motorized pump, given its centre of gravity, will tend to overbalance on the pump head side. Make sure that the persons are at a security distance of the pump to avoid any risk of wound.
  • Page 12 Remove the sight glass REF15 as well as its seal REF46 and fill the casing with the Albin lubricant (see lubricant table §9.5.). You can REF 23 also fill the casing by the breather cap REF52 situated at the back of the pump casing. The level of necessary lubricant is at the level of the sight glass or underneath the shaft line (see photograph). FOR MODELS ALH05-10-15-20: Unscrew higher plug REF23 of the pump.
  • Page 13 HOSE CLEANING The hose cleaning can be done without removing the hose. It can be done with water or with a cleaning liquid (check compatibility with hose material). With numerous products, it is necessary to clean the hose after every pumping in order to avoid the hardening of the product inside this one.

PHOTO 4 REF 9 REF 8 REF 24 REF 18 REF 12 PHOTO 5 Jog run the motor to deliver the hose from the pump casing at the outlet side. WARNING! The hose can come out of the pump casing very fast and cause harm.
  • Page 15 6.3.2 PUMP CASING CLEANING This operation is necessary when a hose has burst and when the product has contaminated the inside of the pump casing. Unscrew cover bolts by leaving two screws partly fastened to the casing. Slightly withdraw the cover from the casing and fix a shackle in one of the cover’s highest fastening holes. (Pumps ALH80, 100 and 125 are equipped with a lifting ring).
  • Page 16 Insert the hose by the outlet port (photograph 2). Reverse the direction of rotation of the motor. While pushing on the hose, jog run the motor and check the direction of rotation. PHOTO 2 The shoes mounted on the wheel are going to “swallow” the hose and push it out of the inlet port. Always by giving jolts, bring the hose against the flange REF47 (photograph 3).
  • Page 17 REPLACEMENT OF SPARE PARTS 6.4.1 REPLACEMENT OF PUMP SHOES (except ALH05 to ALH20) Jog run the motor and position one of the shoes in front of the sight glass. Cut the power supply. 3. Drain the lubricant (see §6.1). 4. Remove the pump cover REF2 as well as the cover seal REF10. Disassemble the shoe which is not in contact with the hose and put aside the shims if any.
  • Page 18 6.4.2 REPLACEMENT OF THE SEAL RING REF27 AND THE SHAFT SEAL REF26 Albin hose pumps are equipped with a leakage channel that allows to see the wear of the seal ring or the shaft seal. This channel is at the back of the pump casing underneath the gearbox flange. It also protects the gearbox seals by leaving the lubricant or the product to pass freely at the back of the pump casing.

  • Page 21 SHOE SHIMMING NOTE: This paragraph does not concern pumps ALH05 to ALH20. CAUTION! The shimming of shoes is an operation which consists in adding shims under the shoe to stop any internal leakage. An internal leakage considerably reduces the life time of the hose as well as the flow. As a result, it is essential to adjust the shoe’s shimming according to the rotation speed of the pump, the desired discharge pressure and the liquid viscosity.

At the end of two hose changes or 5000 Lubricant replacement. hours of functioning. Otherwise, in every see §6,1 hose break. Refer to the gearbox maintenance manual Gearbox oil replacement.
  • Page 23 ALHS SERIES COMPLEMENTARY INFORMATION 6.6.1 SETUP Before the setup of the pump, check the following points: - The ALHS pump is delivered without a frame. Assembly holes are at the back of the pump for assembly on a frame. Dimensions of these assembly holes can be found in § 9.2 l. The pump with its drive and frame must be fixed to a solid base with a slope which does not exceed 5mm for 1m and must be firmly fastened to this one. - The pump frame must be built in order to support the stress and deformations delivered by the pump and drive. It should be built by qualified staff with good engineering practice. In no case ALBIN PUMP AB is reponsable for it’s construction or conception.

    Going beyond these limits is likely to generate a risk of ignition of the atmosphere surrounding the material. The Albin pump installations are in particular designed so that the normal working conditions of the pump do not generate an overload of the motor or the reducer.

  • Page 47: Particular Dispositions When Using A Frequency Inverter

    Complementary instructions for ATEX certified material 10.4 Particular dispositions when using a frequency inverter The Albin peristaltic pumps have variable limits of working according to the discharge pressure, number of rotations of the pump and temperature of the pumped product. These working limits are mainly imposed by the heating of the hose, on which the lifespan is strongly dependent.

  • Page 48: Checking Lubricant Level In The Pump

    Complementary instructions for ATEX certified material 10.9 Checking of the lubricant level in the pump An insufficient lubricant level in the pump can generate surface temperatures higher than the recommended limit of temperature T of the pump. Stop the pump and check the lubricant level every 1000 working hours. 10.10 Drive of the pump The maximum speed of rotation of the pumps must be respected (see certification of the pumps). At the start or after any modification of the pumping installation, the speed of rotation of the pump must be controlled and must be lower than the maximum speed indicated in the instructions.

  • Page 49: Atex Characteristics Of The Pumping Installation

    Complementary instructions for ATEX certified material 10.11 ATEX characteristics of the pumping installation A pumping installation can be composed of materials (motor, reducer, sensors…) from which ATEX characteristics are different from those of the pump. In this case, the group will have ATEX characteristics corresponding to characteristics ATEX of the component with the lowest level of protection. 10.12 Pumping vat of retention At a constant arrival of liquid in a vat of retention in an ATEX zone, the uninterrupted start-up can generate a classification in zone 0. The case can only arise when the pump is used in the starting position. It is then imperative that the suction pipe always has liquid present so as not to create explosive conditions in the presence of fuel and combustive agents.
