Maintenance Maintenance Use the insertion tool to fit the V-ring (see illustration). Requirement Insert V-rings without grease. To facilitate fitting V-rings use water (with a drop of washing-up liquid to remove the surface tension). In order that no rust is transferred, the washing-up liquid solution must be made up in a ceramic, plastic, or stainless steel container.
They have the NSF- H1 (USDA H1) registration. PARALIQ GTE 703 can be ordered from GEA Tuchenhagen under part no. 413-064, and Rivolta F.L.G. MD-2 can be ordered under part no. 413- 071.
A Manufacturer's Declaration for these products can be obtained from GEA Tuchenhagen if required. A thin film of grease is required on the seals to ensure the proper function of the fittings. It reduces friction and extends the service life of the seals.
GEA Tuchenhagen accepts unopened actuators and arranges for proper disposal free of charge. Carry out the following steps: Remove the actuator. Safely pack the actuator and send it to GEA Tuchenhagen GmbH. ® Operating Instructions · ECOVENT Valve N/W and N.M DN 10/15...
