1.0 Safety Information
DANGER
DO NOT OPERATE PUMP IF:
Installation and operation of the pump must always comply with health and
safety regulations.
A device must be incorporated into the system or drive to prevent the pump
W ARNING exceeding its stated duty pressure. It must be suitable for both directions of
pump rotation where applicable. Do not allow pump to operate with a
closed/blocked discharge unless a pressure relief device is incorporated.
Page 1
The mounting of the pump or pump unit should be solid and stable. Pump
orientation must be considered in relation to drainage requirements. Once
mounted, shaft drive elements must be checked for correct alignment. Rotate
pump shaft by at least one full revolution to ensure smoothness of operation.
Incorrect alignment will produce excessive loading and will create high
temperatures and increased noise emissions. It may also be necessary to
earth the pump to avoid the build up of a potential charge difference that
couldcause a spark
The installation must allow safe routine maintenance and inspection (to
replenish lubricants, check for leakage, monitor pressures, etc) and provide
adequate ventilation necessary to prevent overheating.
W ARNING Fill with the recommended grades and quantities of lubricant see section 3.4.
Beware of over/under filling the gearbox as this could cause the pump to
overheat and mechanical damage to occur.
Before operating the pump, ensure that it and all parts of the system to which it
W ARNING is connected are clean and free from debris and that all valves in the suction
and discharge pipelines are fully opened. Ensure that all pipe work connecting
to the pump is fully supported and aligned with its relevant connections.
Misalignment and/or excess loads will cause severe pump damage. This could
result in unexpected mechanical contact in the pump head and has the
potential to be a source of ignition.
W ARNING Ensure that pump rotation is correct for the desired direction of flow; (see
section 3.4)
W ARNING
Do not install the pump into a system where it will run dry (i.e. without a supply
of pumped media) unless it is equipped with a flushed shaft seal arrangement
complete with a fully operational flushing system. Mechanical seals require a
thin fluid film to lubricate the seal faces. Dry running can cause excessive heat
and seal failure.
W ARNING Install pressure gauges/sensors next to the pump suction and discharge
connections to monitor pressures.
Caution must be taken when lifting the pump. Suitable lifting devices should be
used as appropriate. If pump is baseplate mounted, the base plate must be
used for all lifting purposes, not any part of the pump. If slings are used for
lifting, they must be safely and securely attached. For weights of bare shaft
pumps refer to section 5.5.
DO NOT loosen or undo the front cover, any connections to the pump, shaft
Page 2
seal housings, barrier support systems, temperature control devices, or other
components, until sure that such action will not allow the unsafe escape of any
pressurised media.
Pumps and/or drives can produce sound pressure levels exceeding 85-dB (A)
under certain operating conditions. When necessary, personal protection
against noise must be taken. See section 5.8 for typical noise emission data.
Avoid any contact with hot parts of pumps and/or drives, which may cause
injury. Certain operating conditions, temperature control devices (jackets, heat-
tracing, etc), bad installation, or poor maintenance can all promote high
temperatures on pumps and/or drives.
When cleaning, either manually or by CIP method, the operator must ensure
W ARNING
that a suitable procedure is used in accordance with the system requirements.
For CIP cleaning requirements, refer to section 3.3.2. The exterior of the pump
should be cleaned periodically.

2.0 Introduction
2.1 General
The range of Concept SQ rotary lobe pumps are manufactured and distributed,
refer to section 2.2, by Johnson Pump (UK) Limited, Eastbourne, England,
herein after referred to as Johnson Pump (UK).
This manual includes all the necessary information for the Concept SQ pump
range and should be read prior to commencing installation, operation or
maintenance.
When asking for assistance please quote the pump model and serial number.
This information can be obtained from the pump nameplate which is located on
the top of the pump gearbox cover, refer to section 2.6.
On receipt of the pump, immediately examine for any signs of visible damage.
If any damage is noted, contact Johnson Pump (UK) and clearly mark upon the
carriers paperwork that the goods have been received in a damaged condition,
with brief description of damage.
If the pump is not required for immediate installation then it should be stored
within a suitable environment.
2.4 Cleaning
The Concept SQ pump range is suitable for manual cleaning, CIP (Cleaning In
Place) and SIP (Sterilisation In Place) refer to section 3.3.2.
The mechanical seals are mounted directly behind the rotor and are designed
and to minimise product entrapment and maximise the effects of cleaning.
This strategic positioning of the mechanical seals, combined with their ease of
access provides an arrangement that can be more effectively cleaned by both
manual and CIP/SIP procedures.
It is recommended that the exterior of the pump be cleaned periodically.

3.0 General
Fig 5
The pumping action of the rotary lobe pump principle is generated by the
contra-rotation of two pumping elements (rotors) within a chamber (rotorcase),
see Fig 5. The rotors are located on shafts, which in turn are held within two
cartridge assemblies. The shaft cartridge assemblies comprise the shaft
support bearings and the timing gears. The timing gears transfer the drive from
the driven shaft to the lay shaft, synchronising the rotors such that they rotate
without contact with each other.
As the rotors pass the suction port, see Fig 5a, the cavity generated increases
creating a pressure decrease, which induces the media to be pumped to flow
into the rotorcase.
The pumped media is carried around the rotorcase by the rotors, see Fig 5b
and 5c, to the discharge side of the pump, Fig 5d. Here the cavity decreases
and the pumped medium is discharged from the rotorcase, Fig 5e.

The maximum pressure and speed operating parameters are given in Fig 6. In
practice these may be limited due to the nature of the product to be pumped
and/or design of the system in which the pump is to be installed and / or the
process.

3.3 System Design
Page 12
h) Suction Conditions
The Net Positive Suction Head Available (NPSHA) from the system
W ARNING must always exceed the Net Positive Suction Head Required (NPSHR)
by the pump. Observing the following general guidelines should ensure
the best possible suction condition is created.
Fig 7
Page 13
i) When installing a pump complete with baseplate, motor and drive
the following guidelines must be observed:
Fig 8
To check for and correct angular misalignment, use
a calliper to check the measurement across the
hubs. Adjust position of pump or drive as
necessary until the measurement is the same at all
points around the hubs.
Fig 9
To check for and correct parallel
offset, place a straightedge across the
hub flanges in two positions at 90
Degrees to each other. Adjust
position of pump or drive as
necessary until the straightedge lays
flat on both sides.
Note:
Some couplings are able to withstand gross angular and/or parallel
misalignment. However, the above methods of reduce these effect to an
absolute minimum is required to avoid placing excessive loads onto
pump and/or drive components. The table below gives details of
maximum parallel and angular misalignments allowed.
Page 14
- Couplings must always be enclosed in a suitable guard to prevent
contact with rotating parts, which could result in personal injury.
Guards should be of suitable material, see below and of
sufficiently rigid design to prevent contact with rotating parts
under normal operating conditions.
Note: The guard must be designed such that it fully covers the
projecting part of the lay shaft of the pump.
- When using electric motor drives ensure that the electrical supply
is compatible with the drive and controls and that the method of
wiring is correct for the type of starting required by the motor i.e.
Direct On Line, Star Delta etc. Ensure all components are
correctly earthed.
Page 15
3.4 Start Up Procedure
W ARNING
- Check all pipework and associated equipment is clean and free
from debris and that pipe connections are secure and leak free.
W ARNING - For pumps installed with flushed mechanical seals check all
auxiliary services are in place and connected and provide
sufficient flow and pressure for flushing purposes, refer to section
4.5.7.
W ARNING - For pumps installed with Fluid Barrier devices on Front Cover /
Rotorcase joint and Rotorcase port connections, check all
auxiliary services are in place and connected and provide
sufficient flow and pressure, refer to sections 3.8 and 3.9.
W ARNING - Ensure lubrication is provided for both pump and drive. Concept
SQ pumps are despatched without oil and should be filled to the
level of the oil sight glass which must be installed in the upper
tapped hole in the side of the gearbox cover, refer to section 5.3
for pump oil capacities and grades.
W ARNING - Ensure both suction and discharge valves are fully open, and
pipework is free from all obstructions. Concept SQ pumps are of
the positive displacement type and should therefore never be
operated against a closed valve as this would result in pressure
overload, resulting in damage to the pump and possibly the
system.
W ARNING - Ensure rotation of the drive shaft is correct for the direction of flow
required (see Fig 10).
Fig 10
Page 16
- Ensure product is available in the suction vessel before starting
pump, this is very important for pumps installed with single
W ARNING mechanical seals not being serviced with a quench or flush as
these sealing arrangements must never be allowed to run dry.
When shutting the pump down, close both the suction and discharge valves
and ensure that the necessary safety precautions are taken: -
Page 17
3.7 Heating and Cooling Devices
See Figs 11 & 12
All models in the Concept SQ range can be supplied with a jacketed
front cover and, with the exception of the SQ1 series pumps, rotorcase
with ports for circulation of a heating/cooling media. The jacketed cover
and rotorcase heating and cooling ports are strategically positioned such
that the thermal effect acts on the pump chamber and seal area.
The pressure rating of the Concept SQ range jacketed front cover and
rotorcase heating/cooling ports is 3.5 bar g (50 PSI) and this should not
be exceeded without first making reference to Johnson Pump (UK).
Note: For all other dimensions see section 5.5, Foundation Dimensions

3.8 Front Cover/Rotorcase Joint with Fluid Barrier
Fig 13
The product to atmosphere interface between front cover and rotorcase can be
provided with a fluid barrier to prevent either the ingress of microbiological and
W ARNING other contaminants, or the egress of pumped media to atmosphere. The fluid
must be compatible with the media being pumped and the materials of
construction of any pump components with which it comes into contact.
Where pumps are equipped with this feature, two tapped holes are located in
the front cover forming the connections for the supply of the barrier fluid, see
W ARNING fig 13. The position of the holes is dependant upon the orientation of the pump,
but in either case, the lower tapped hole must be used for the fluid inlet so that
air is naturally vented out via the upper tapped hole. Barrier liquids should be
supplied at a flow rate of approximately 0.5 to 1 litres per minute. Barrier
gasses can be either static or flowing as applicable.
The pressure rating of the Concept SQ range front cover / rotorcase joint with
fluid barrier is 3.0 bar g (43.5 PSI) and this should not be exceeded without first
making reference to Johnson Pump (UK).
The position of the holes is dependent upon the orientation of the pump.
Page 20
3.9 Rotorcase Port Connections with Fluid Barrier
Fig 14
Where pumps are equipped with this feature, two tapped holes are located on
each of the connection male parts which are welded to the rotorcase forming
the connections for the supply of the barrier fluid, see Fig 14.
In the standard orientation, which is with the rotorcase ports in the vertical
plane, either tapped hole can be used as the fluid inlet. If the barrier media is a
liquid, the flow should be raised to approximately 2 litres per minute for the first
W ARNING
few minutes to allow venting of any gas or air trapped in the barrier chamber of
the lower connection assembly. The flow can then be reduced to zero if
required, or maintained at a value between 0 and 1 litres per minute. If the
barrier media is a gas, it should be made to flow for the first few minutes to
allow removal of air, and then the flow can be reduced to zero if required.
In the optional orientation, which is with the connection ports in the horizontal
plane, the lower tapped hole should be used for the fluid inlet so that air or gas
trapped in the barrier chambers is naturally vented out via the upper tapped
W ARNING hole. If the barrier media is a liquid, the flow should be raised to approximately
2 litres per minute for the first few minutes to allow venting of any air or gas.
The flow can then be reduced to zero if required, or maintained at a value
between 0 and 1 litres per minute. If the barrier media is a gas, it should be
made to flow for the first few minutes to allow removal of air, and then the flow
can be reduced to zero if required
The pressure rating for the fluid barrier of these port connections is 3.0 Bar g
(43.5 PSI) and this must not be exceeded under any circumstances.
Page 21
4.0 Concept SQ Dismantling / Assembly
Note: The rotorcase and front cover both have sealing grooves which
W ARNING
must be preserved in perfect condition to ensure correct operation.
It is recommended that the joint ring located between the front cover and
rotorcase is replaced with a new one each time that the front cover is removed.
If the old one is to be considered for re-use, it should be checked for any signs
of surface imperfections and if it is found to be damaged in any way it must be
replaced. When removing and replacing the joint ring, take care not damage it.
W ARNING
Where measuring devices are required to be used, exercise extreme care not
to scratch or otherwise damage the surfaces of pump components.
The position of all parts should be identified as they are removed to ensure
they are reinstalled in the same position.
O-rings are incorporated within the shaft cartridge assemblies on SQ2; SQ3
and SQ4 models and lipseals are incorporated within the shaft cartridge
assemblies on SQ2, SQ3 and SQ4 models. The Mounting Plate on SQ1
models and in the gearbox covers on all models to contain the lubricant for the
bearings and timing gears.
Regular inspection and correct maintenance of these items will ensure that the
lubrication is sustained and contribute to maximum working life being achieved.
It is extremely important that care is taken when extracting and reinstalling o-
rings and lipseals. When removing and replacing lipseals ensure that the
location bore for the outside diameter and the seat for the back of the lipseal
are not damaged as this may create a leak path for the lubricant.
Page 22
When removing lipseals or o rings care should be taken to avoid cutting or
tearing the sealing faces as they pass over keyways, splines, threads or other
potentially sharp or abrasive edges. All lipseals and o-rings should be carefully
examined and if damaged in any way, be replaced on assembly.
All o-rings and sealing lips of lipseals should be lightly lubricated with a suitable
lubricant before installing.
When installing lipseals do not allow the rear face to come into contact with
rotating parts of bearings.
Prior to commencing assembly, ensure all parts are clean and free from burrs
or damage. Where a vice is to be used then this should be installed with
protective jaws to avoid damage to components. Do not hammer or apply
undue force to install or position components.
W ARNING All fixings are required to be tightened to the required torque setting during
assembly, refer to section 5.2.
The preferred method of installing bearing cones is that they are heated to
approximately 125 ?C (250°F) prior to installing, during this operation protective
gloves should be used. Once bearing cones are installed in correct position
they should be allowed to cool before proceeding with assembly. As an
alternative bearing cones may be pressed into position providing always that
suitable equipment is employed and the necessary procedures are adopted to
prevent component damage.
For torque settings for fixings and shaft rolling torque settings see section 5.2.
Rotors for Concept SQ pumps are only supplied in pairs and should be
installed as such.

4.1.1 Front Cover and Rotor Removal
Fig 15
Removal of the rotors will necessitate gaining access to the end of both the drive and
lay shafts by removal of the coupling guard and drive coupling assembly. It will depend
upon the specific arrangement of components that have been used as to whether or
not the pump will need to be removed from its mounting to allow this.
- Gradually loosen front cover retaining dome nuts (36), care should be
taken as there may still be residual product and pressure in the pump
head and as the dome nuts are loosened this will vent to atmosphere.
- Remove front cover (38), using lever slots where necessary, and the front
cover joint ring (39), taking care not to damage the sealing grooves in the
rotorcase (40) and front cover (38). Note that front cover (38) is located

4.5.5 Mechanical Seals for Quench or Flush - Auxiliary Services
Every Concept SQ pump is provided with four seal flushing connections, two
on each side of the rotorcase, which are tapped 1/8" BSP.
Fig 58
Pumps supplied with a mechanical seal not requiring an auxiliary flush have
blanking plugs in each flushing connection. Should the pump be converted to
a flushed mechanical seal after original supply these plugs can be removed
and the flush connections used to provide the appropriate flush.
Terminology.
"Quench"
- To provide a liquid barrier, which is not, induced to flow through
the seal area by any external means.
"Flush"
- To provide a liquid barrier, which is, induced to flow through the
seal area by an external means.
W ARNING The media used for quenching or flushing a seal must be fully compatible with
the pumped media, and the materials of construction of pump and seal.
Page 60
Venting of Seal Housings
Fig 59
After this initial period of running, the flush flow rate and pressure should be
regulated.
Page 61
Single Mechanical Seal for Quench / Flush (For low-pressure Quench or Flush)
This seal arrangement requires a supply of media to the outboard side of the
mechanical seal to quench or flush the seal area. The nature of the pumped
media and the specific duty conditions will determine whether a quench or a
flush is required.
A quench provides a static head. The quench media vessel should be mounted
a minimum of 0.5 metres above the pump, preferably directly above the seal
area. The interconnecting pipework should be as straight as possible, avoiding
horizontal runs, and with the minimum number of bends and restrictions.
For a suitable flush, the media must be supplied at a flow rate of 3 litres per
minute per shaft seal.
W ARNING Note: The limiting flush or quench pressure in any application is 0.5 bar
Double Mechanical Seal for Flush (For High Pressure Flush).
The flush pressure must be a minimum of 1 bar greater than the maximum
discharge pressure created by, or the maximum suction pressure applied to,
the pump whichever is the greater.
W ARNING Note: Where the Double Mechanical Seal is installed with o-ring (50), the
limiting flush pressure in any application is 16 bar g.
Where the Double Mechanical Seal is installed with Squad ring (30),
the maximum differential pressure that can be allowed to occur
between the pumped media and the flush media is 5 Bar.
