Pos: 40 /WBV/Pumpen/Montage/Einbau in Pumpanlagen und Fahrzeugen @ 0\mod_1111398029202_48.doc @ 1628 @

• When installing the pump, ensure that there is easy access for maintenance work. If the hex head
screw plugs for draining the gearbox oil and buffer/quenching fluid are not easy to reach, drain hoses
may be used (part-no. PBT.013 and/or PBT.014).
• The connectors must be mounted free from stresses. In other words, the connectors have to be
exactly one in front of the other even without screws.
• May be installed either upright or horizontally.
• Position the pressure and suction connections pointing upwards. This will ensure that the fluid remains
in the pump after it is switched off.
• If the pump is installed horizontally, position the suction side facing downwards.
• If the pump is to be suspended, please contact us.

Important! Connector with sight glass may only be installed on suction side.
Do not exceed the maximum suction height of 8 m (26.2 ft). This is the maximum
distance between the lowest and highest points of the suction pipe.

If the diameter of the suction pipe is too small, the maximum suction height will be
reduced by the friction loss.
Please contact us for a calculation.

Pos: 43 /WBV/Pumpen/Montage/Rohrleitungen und Nenndrücke @ 11\mod_1170841647791_48.doc @ 31497 @

Only use the pipeline diameters, wall thicknesses and materials recommended by us or by our
representatives. This is essential for ensuring that the system functions properly!

Warning! Suction lines whose diameter is too small may restrict the suction
capability of the pump (risk of cavitation).

Only use high-pressure pipes on the pressure side:

• up to nominal diameter 150 mm - high pressure pipes with nominal pressure 16 bar (232 psi).
from nominal diameter 200mm - high pressure pipes with nominal pressure 10 bar (145 psi),
•
except when the permissible operating pressure of the pump is ≥ 10 bar.
If you are uncertain about anything, please contact us!

Pump systems must be protected from excessive pressure!

The rotary lobe pump is essentially suitable for use in either direction of motion.

Important! The sight glass has to be installed on the suction side.

If the sight glass is on the pressure side (pumping backwards), the pressure may
not exceed 2 bars (29 psi).

In general, rotary lobe pumps can be designed for variable frequency drive operation.

Advantages:
 Adaptation to operating conditions (viscosity, delivery rate, NPSHA)
 Wear compensation
 Speed proportional delivery rate (see characteristic line)

A variable frequency drive with a static characteristic line is to be used.

The starting torque / nominal torque ratio must be > 1.3.

If you are using tractor driven pumps with two drive shafts, connect either the upper or lower the cardan
shafts thus determining the direction of flow.

Limiting operating torque when tractor driven

To avoid shearing of drive shaft, for example by foreign matter in the pumps:

• The operating torque must be limited to 1600 Nm for cardan shafts with 1 3/8" profile, 6-parts
• The operating torque must be limited to 3200 Nm for cardan shafts with 1 3/4" profile, 6-parts and with
1 3/4" profile, 20-parts.

Attention! This limitation of operating torque is not a safety device to prevent

pump overpressure. (see 'Theoretical operating torque' in chapter "Technical
data").

6 Advisories For Using Rotary Lobe Pumps

Pos: 79 /WBV/Pumpen/Einsatzhinweise/Hinweise für den Einsatz @ 26\mod_1212140842821_48.doc @ 91719 @

Keep the pipes as free as possible from foreign objects such as stones, wood
residues, etc.
Foreign objects These foreign objects lead to increased wear of the rotary lobes and the pump
housing segments.
When using the pump for viscous sludges or slurries, depending on the liquid /
Highly viscous liquids sludge being pumped, the pump speed must be reduced according to the fluid's
viscosity. This prevents cavitation from occurring.
If there is a risk of frost, the pump must be drained by dry running the pump in
either direction, until all liquid is drained out of the pump. Therefore you may
Wintertime operation use the drain valves in the connectors. For a complete draining you must
remove the cover.
Warning! Before start-up, fill up with liquid again.
During hot weather, gas may form in closed pipe systems. Because of higher
Periods of hot weather pressures, this gas may damage the pump or pumping systems.
Prevent the medium from becoming trapped in the pump.
Drain the pump by opening the cover and flush if necessary, for example in
Removing from service case of critical medium.

7.1.2.1 Pump with pressurized buffer fluid tank

The pressurized buffer fluid tank with manual pump, provides a steady defined buffer chamber pressure
(buffer chamber pressure = tank pressure).
In addition the canister is for a safe monitoring of the buffer chamber (see fig. "Buffer chamber monitoring").

Setting up
First remove the plug from the buffer chamber. Then completely fill the buffer chamber.
After that, screw the tank directly into the casting of the buffer chamber. Fill the tank until about 1/4. Then set
the expected tank pressure with a manual pump or a compressed air supply.

Tank pressure
The tank pressure should be about 0.5 bar higher than the middle pressure in the pump.
Tank pressure = 0.5 bar + (pressure on the suction side + pressure on the pressure side) / 2.

Example:
One pump primes with 0.4 bar under pressure and presses with 2.0 bar overpressure.
Pressure on the suction side: – 0.4 bar, pressure on the pressure side: 2.0 bar.

( 0.4bar  2bar )
Tank pressure = 0.5 bar + = 1.3 bar
2
Tank pressure is 1.3 bar.
However the tank pressure should be max. 5 bar.

Trouble indication
After a possible running period, trouble with the sealing system would be directly noticed in form of:
 strong pollution of the buffer fluid in the tank
 escape of buffer fluid (tank is empty)
 increasing of buffer fluid (tank is full)

Refilling
First depressurize the buffer chamber through the air valve. Then unscrew the upper housing (hold the union
nut tight while avoid loosening the lower screw connection – see picture below). After that fill the buffer fluid
in the tank. Finally reset the pressure. (see fig. "Fill buffer chamber").

Change of lobes
Before changing the lobes, depressurize the buffer chamber and prime it again after changing.

Each time mechanical seals are changed, the buffer chamber must be drained and flushed beforehand.

Procedure:
 In case of buffer chamber assemblies with a pressurised buffer fluid tank or pressure valve, always
depressurize the buffer chamber before draining or cleaning.
 Unscrew buffer chamber assemblies (see chapter "Buffer chamber assemblies").
 Undo the lower hex head screw plug (pos. 6 in fig. "Pump with quenching fluid tank, without pressure
valve) and drain the buffer/quenching fluid out of the buffer chamber.
 Clean the buffer chamber in the event of severe contamination.
 Screw the lower hex head screw plug back in (tightening torque = 60 Nm) and install the various buffer
chamber assemblies in reverse order.
If the bottom hex head screw plug is not accessible from the installation position, an extended
connection can be installed at the side on request.

Grease nipples are primarily used for long-fibred media, for example in agriculture or biogas plants. They
can be retrofitted upon request.
The sealing prechamber can be greased through the grease nipples (if applicable) (see fig. "Changing the
gearbox oil")
Lubrication prevents the fibrous matter from hardening and adversely affecting the function of the axial seal.

Only lubricate when machine is running, not while at a standstill!

5. Before assembling the new mechanical seal
 Carefully remove the burrs on the keyway
 Carefully clean all parts of the mechanical seal
 Be sure to keep the sealing surfaces of the mechanical seals clean
Only then is an optimum function of the mechanical seal assured.
6. The O-rings (14A,B) have to be pulled dry over the mechanical seal rings (15A,B). The O-ring is then
coated from outside with clean oil (seal carrier contact points).
7. Put the mechanical seal ring (15A) in the pump seal carrier (16) using the installation tool.
8. Put the other mechanical seal ring (15B) with O-ring into the installation tool. Press the mechanical
seal ring (15B) into the seal support using the installation tool.
9. Carefully clean the sealing surfaces of the mechanical seal rings. Coat the sealing surfaces of
mechanical seal rings made out of Duronit with clean oil, the sealing surfaces of mechanical seal rings
made out of SiSiC are not oiled.
10. Install seal support (13).

The remaining parts have to be installed in reverse sequence. Before installing the lobes, clean the spot
faces of sealing components and lobes carefully.

8.10 Reducing the starting torque for Q pumps

Pos: 180 /WBV/Pumpen/Instandsetzung/VX/Reduzierung des Anlaufmoments VX100/136/186 - Q @ 24\mod_1207212468143_48.doc @ 87673 @

The starting torque of a Q pump can be reduced by installing shims.

Increasing the gaps between lobes and wear plates however reduces the volumetric efficiency.

(see "Increasing gap" table)

Increasing the gap between the lobes and wear plate at the gearbox:
VX136/VX186: Slide the shims in front of the first lobe onto the shaft.
VX100Q: Replace the shims.
In addition put one shim on each of the four distance nuts of the cover to adjust the gap accordingly.

Increasing the gap between the lobes and wear plate at the cover:
Place the shims on the four distance nuts of the cover.
If more than two shims are placed on each distance nut, you have to lay a thicker O-ring under the pump
cover to attain continued reliable sealing.

In case of wear on lobes and plates, the gaps can be reduced accordingly again.

Gap: lobe – gearbox Increasing Gap: lobe – cover Increasing
