    KM 251 en Product Description and Accessories Product Description and Accessories General Description The KM 251 are oscillatory positive-displacement pumps with hydraulic diaphragm con- trol. The operation procedure of the dosing pump is shown in the sectional drawing. The rotational movement of the drive motor (1p) is converted via the worm gearing (2p) and eccentric (3p) into the oscillatory suction and stroke movement of the piston (6p).

If one of these diaphragms breaks, the dosing or hydraulic medium penetrates into the intermediate gap and, when the ball is removed, into the valve. The system pressure is therefore impinged on the valve and the contact manometer is activated.

Preferable for flooded suction. For dosing media which tend to sedimentation: • Install a suction line with filter (13i) in a way ensuring that the suction valve remains several centimetres a bove the botton of the tank.
  • Page 25 KM 251 en Installation To install the suction line: • Keep the suction line as short as pos- sible, avoid a tangled suction line • If necessary, use swept bends instead of elbows. • Always lay the suction line rising to the suction valve of the dosing pump.
