PDP1000 PDP1000-C Theory of Operation The PDP Series of progressive cavity pumps bring superior volumetric accuracy to your most demanding two-component dispensing applications. Progressive cavity pumps feature a machined rotor that couples with a rubberized seal to assure drip-free operation with a wide range of viscous chemistries.
Waste Disposal Dispose of all used parts and materials in accordance with local laws and regulations. Necessary Tools PVA offers tools and cleaning accessories to maintain the PDP progressive cavity pumps. Part Number Description 12862...
Always put pump conditioner on the rotor before the pump is assembled. 1. Use the mounting holes to install the PDP onto the workcell. 2. Attach component A and B fluid supply lines to the related fluid inlets.
PDP Operation Manual Operation WARNING: Never operate the pump dry. If the pump is operated dry or without pump conditioner, severe damage will occur. Always apply lubricant to the rotor before the pump is assembled. You must perform the initial bleed for the pump to function correctly. Make sure the material is supplied correctly to each side.
PDP Operation Manual 3. Turn one full rotation and then slowly until the material begins to bleed. 4. Let the material flow from the material outlets until there are no breaks in the material flow. Figure 4: Material Flow NOTE: Any break in the flow of the material shows there is still air in the system.
Mix Ratio The mix ratio can be adjusted in Auto Cycle or Manual mode through PVA Portal. Refer to How to Use the PDP with Portal for more information. The maximum mix ratio value is 10:1. Pump Setup 1. Remove the pump from the workcell.
