Danger: failure to comply with these warnings can

cause serious harm to persons and/or objects.

Danger: only qualified personnel can carry out opera-

tions on the electrical part.

2 SAFETY WARNINGS

When the pump is working the following occurs:

- Electric parts are in tension.
- Mechanical parts are moving.
- Pump body, pipelines and articulations are under internal pressure. Therefore do not remove any
protection or locking, do not loosen screws or clampings, as this can cause serious damage to
persons or objects. The clamp joining the pump casing and the lantern bracket must be well tightened
and it should not be easily unscrewed by hand. The tightening of the clamp must be carried out by
means of a spanner and NOT by hand.
- Non-observance of inspection and maintenance can cause damage to persons and objects,
especially when dangerous or toxic liquids are pumped.
- When pumping liquids at a temperature over 60° C, adequate protection and warning signals are
required.
- When you buy a pump with bare shaft, motor coupling operations have to be carried out according
to technical directions and law, providing adequate protections for joints, gear belts, etc.
- Operations on the electric parts have to be carried out by skilled personnel, according to technical
directions and law, on authorization of the responsible installer.
- Installation must ensure an adequate ventilation, in order to cool the motor, as well as enough
space for maintenance operations.
- Before carrying out any operation which requires to disassemble the pump (inspection, cleaning,
seal replacement, etc.), the following preliminary operations have to be carried out:
switch off the motor and disconnect electric power;
close valves on suction and outlet pipelines, in order to avoid the risk of inundation;
use adequate protections for hands and face, if the pump contains liquids which are injurious to
health (for example acids, solvents, etc.);
consider whether the liquid which flows out of the pump when disassembling is dangerous and
arrange for adequate safety measures.

4 GOODS TRANSPORTATION, RECEIVING AND TRANSFERRING

4.1 TRANSPORTATION
The packings of all pumps manufactured by C.S.F. Inox S.p.A. are defined when placing the
order. Unless prior arrangements are given, goods will be packed only for transit conditions
and not for long-term storage; in case it should be necessary to store the pumps outside,
you are requested to cover the pumps appropriately in order to protect the electrical parts
(motor) from rain, dust, humidity etc.

4.2 RECEIVING
WARNING When receiving the goods, the wholeness of packing must be verified, in order to
identify possible damage to the content during transportation and to claim them immediately
to the carrier. Should any damage be ascertained, the following procedure must be observed:
- collect the goods with reservation;
- take the necessary pictures showing the damage;
- notify the carrier of the damage undergone, by registered airmail, sending at the same time
the pictures taken to show the damaged pieces.

4.3 TRANSFERRING
Carry the packed pumps as close as possible to the place of installation by means of ap-
propriate lifting devices and unpack them. During this operation take care, as unsteady parts
could fall down.
The material used for packing (wood, paper, cellophane, etc.) should be properly gotten rid
of, according to the corresponding rules in force in the receiver’ s country. After unpacking
the pump, use special lifting belts and move the pump-motor set to the place of installation;
never use the eyebolts on the motor to move the pump, as the eyebolts are for moving the
motor only. In versions complete with shroud, take the shroud off before moving the pump-
motor set, in order to avoid damage.

The measurement has been made by means of a sound level meter placed 1 m from the pump and
at a height of 1.6 m from the ground.
The preliminary condition is that the pump is fixed correctly; the above-mentioned values do not take
into account external noise sources (e.g. valves, abrupt hydraulic deflections).

8 INSTALLATION - CSK SERIES

The pump/motor set is aligned on the base at C.S.F., before delivery.

After installation has been performed, bounding the set to the foundation and the suction and outlet
pipelines have been connected, alignment must be verified.

Before starting the unit, install a protective joint cover; it must be removed by specialised personnel
to perform inspections and/or maintenance only after having stopped the unit and disconnected
electrical power.
Warning: Misalignments and forcing cause stress and vibrations on transmission causing wear and
tear and premature breakage of the joint and bearings.

8.1 TYPE "A" ELASTIC COUPLING ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. ASSEMBLING THE HUBS

Once the hubs have been fitted on the shafts,and prior to lining them up,do not forget to leave the
attachment ring fastened onto one of the hubs. Check the pressure setscrews on the hubs are tight.
If the coupling is used in Ex. hazardous areas, the pressure setscrews should be additionally secured
against spontaneous loosening in the attachment of the hub to the shaft; for example, using Loctite
(medium strength) or similar.
p. 6
2. RADIAL ALlGNMENT
The radial alignment is controlled with a rule or a dial indicator or laser. By resting the rule on the
periphery of the hubs and matching up two opposite teeth, you will have a sufficiently broad line of
contact to check they match up throughout their surface area. Better alignment precision is obtained
with the help of a dial indicator or laser (keep to radial tolerance Y).
3. AXIAL AND ANGULAR ALlGNMENT
Position the hubs at distance E, as for Table 1. Using the thickness feelers, you can control the
gap between hubs, measurement E (keep to axial tolerance X). It is advisable to check the values
of measurement E in three positions (O-90-180 degrees), as this will ensure more precise angular
alignment (keep to angular alignment Z).

4. ASSEMBLING THE ELASTIC INSERT

Once the two hubs have been aligned, proceed to assemble the elastic insert in the slots formed by
the parallel teeth. If the radial and angular alignment is correct, the ends of the elastic insert, once
closed, should match up intheir development and width. The elastic insert has two types of housing:
a through housing, with dual inlets, for horizontal work, and a single-inlet housing for vertical work.
5. ASSEMBLING THE RING
Once the elastic insert has been fitted, the retention ring can be inserted manually, by matching up
one of the two reference Iines on the outside of the ring with the insertion grooves on the elastic insert.
Using a nylon mallet, install the retention ring, tapping alternately on each side of the two areas of
the reference marks, until the ring's lugs are coupled into the central housings of the elastic insert.

6. SECURING THE RING

Once the ring has been installed on the elastic insert, it needs to be fastened by inserting the two
set screws (Tab. 2) into the threaded housings, which match up with those for the elastic insert. We
recommend securing the tightness of the setscrews by applying Loctite (medium strength) to the
screw-threading. Any potential axial displacement of the ring, due to misalignment of the equipment,
is thereby secured.
p. 7
 7. DISASSEMBLY
Remove the two set screws from the ring. Shift
the ring by tapping it on the side with a nylon
hammer in the areas the pins (reference lines)
are housed.

8.2 COUPLING WITH SPACER TYPE A..-SP

1. ASSEMBLING THE HUBS

Once the hubs have been fitted and secured with the setscrews, proceed to line them up, leaving
gap DBSE (140 mm) to insert the spacerbody. Do not gorget to fit the attachment ring first.

2. ALIGNMENT AND ASSEMBLY

Once the spacerbody has been attached to the flange hub, and the screws secured with their tighte-
ning torque (table 4), position the hub and the spacerbody at distance E, as for table 3 (keeping to
axial tolerance X).
Next, proceed in the same way as for alignment and assembly of coupling A.

8.3 SUCTION AND INFLOW CONDITIONS
(NPSH = Net Positive Suction Head)

NPSH of system (available NPSH)

In order to ensure that pump operation is free from cavitation, it is essential to observe the maximum
permitted suction lift ha geo max or the minimum allowable head hc geo min.
NPSH of pump (required NPSH)
The centrifugal pumps can operate correctly only if vapour has not formed inside. For this reason
the static head at the reference point for the NPSH is the centre of the impeller, that is the point of
intersection of the pump shaft axis with the vertical plane that passes through the external points
of the blade inlet corners.
NPSH is the value required by the pump, expressed in metres, obtained from the performance curve.
In practice 0.5 m should be added to this value as a safety margin.

8.4 PIPING

In order to prevent the creation of harmful strains, the suction and discharge pipes must be con-
nected to the pump ports without the use of force. These pipes must also be supported indepen-
dently avoiding causing stress on the pump. The internal diameter must be the same size as the
pump connections. It must in any case not be smaller to avoid head loss and/or poor performances.
Always use elbows with large radius. If the pipe diameter changes along the line, use reduction
cones, choosing the ones that are most suitable to avoid any formation of air pockets (Fig. 1).

Fig. 1

NO YES

The suction pipe must be as short as possible and rise as it moves towards the pump if it is sucking
from a tank (Fig. 2). If on the other hand the pump is below the level of the liquid, the pipe should
descend slightly (Fig. 3). If the pump is used for transporting hot liquids, fit expansion joints to com-
pensate any expansion of the piping. The maximum velocity of the liquid in the suction pipe must
not be greater than 3 m/s. Velocities between 1 and 2 m/s are recommended. The suction pipe must
be designed in such a way as to prevent air from entering the pump.

Fig. 2

Fig. 3

p. 9
 For this reason, when sucking from a tank located at a lower level, the pipe must reach below the
free surface of the liquid. In order to prevent the formation of vortices and avoid the risk of sucking
in air, always keep a minimum head at the pipe inlet (h. min.) equal to at least the dynamic head
plus a safety margin of 0.1 m (Fig.2).
hmin = m
Va2
h min = + 0,1
2g
V = m/s

In order to prevent the formation of vortices when it is not possible to observe the values of minimum
available head, it is possible to fit crosses in the piping. This system is suitable even for tanks with
a positive head.
- Avoid creating obstacles which could increase suction losses disrupting smooth fluid flow. Make
sure that there are no restrictions, sharp turns or tight elbows on the discharge line, since these
increase disturbance.

8.5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Make the electrical connection only after the hydraulic connection has been completed; set up the
motor control system in conformity with the technical standards and regulations in force (EN 60204-
1): in particular a manual electric power switch must be installed with adequate current switching
capacity; devices for overcurrent and overload protection (e.g. fuses, automatic switches, etc.) must
also be fitted, plus, if necessary, a device to prevent accidental restarting.
Check that the main frequency and voltage and the available power are suitable for the motor
installed. All the material used for the electrical connection (cables, cable clamps, switches and
shielding) must have a suitable level of protection for the environment in which it is installed. Be sure
to use cables of sufficient cross-section for the current shown on the motor plate so as to prevent
them from overheating.
Before doing anything else, make the motor's earth connection, using the terminal on the motor
and a cable of sufficient cross-section. The cables may be connected to the terminal board using
either a delta or star arrangement. Follow the data given on the motor plate for the main voltage, as
shown in the diagram in fig.4. When starting, the motor's current absorption increases briefly to 5-6
times the nominal value. If the mains supply is unable to sustain this increase in absorption, use a
star-delta starter or other kind of device (e.g. an autotransformer).

C.S.F. Inox S.p.A. will accept no responsibility for damage to property and/or injury to persons caused
by failure to comply with technical standards and regulations in force.

9 NON-PERMITTED USES

Do not use the pump with a suction pressure greater than the specified value (0.5 times the discharge
head generated by the pump).
The pump must always be used in an environment appropriate to the level of protection of the motor.
Always check this on the motor plate before installation.

WARNING THE PUMP MAY NOT BE USED IN ENVIRONMENTS WHICH REQUIRE A HIGHER
LEVEL OF PROTECTION OR A HIGHER SPECIFICATION MOTOR OR ELECTRICAL PARTS.

Components complying with the safety standards for the environment in question must be used.

p. 10
10 OPERATION
10.1 PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
- Check that the pump turns freely under hand pressure.
- Check that the clamp joining the pump casing and the lantern bracket is well tightened and that it
cannot be easily unscrewed by hand. The tightening of the clamp must be carried out by means of
a spanner and NOT by hand.
- Check that the pump turns in the marked direction (CLOCKWISE, as seen from motor end).
- The suction pipe and the pump must be filled with liquid. There are two possible cases:
a) When the pump is to operate with a negative suction head, it must be primed by introducing
liquid into the pump body.
b) When the pump is to operate below the level of the suction liquid, i.e. with a positive head, the
suction and discharge gate valves must be opened until the pressure gauge on the pump discharge
shows a pressure corresponding to the positive suction head.
- If the sealing chamber is to be cooled, open the cooling water supply and adjust the flow.
10.2 STARTING
- Carry out the preliminary operations, then close the discharge valve completely and make sure
that the suction valve is completely open.
- Start the pump and check once again that it rotates in the right direction.
10.3 OPERATING CHECKS
- If the pump does not generate the required discharge head rapidly, stop and repeat the priming
operations.
- If the discharge gate valve is opened more than necessary, i.e. further than the specified working
point, and the pump is operating with a lower discharge head than that required, there will be an
increase in delivered capacity and absorbed power. If this occurs, throttle the discharge until the
required head and capacity values are obtained.
- If the discharge head generated by the pump is greater than that required, the diameter of the
impeller can be reduced. If, on the contrary, the discharge head is lower than required, with the same
capacity, it will be necessary to install a larger diameter impeller (if the one fitted is not already the
largest available) and probably also an higher power motor.
- The pump must operate smoothly and without vibrations.
- Do not operate without liquid and in any case avoid prolonged operation with the discharge gate
valve closed.
- Check that the suction liquid level is always sufficient to grant an adequate energy load for normal
operation of the pump.
- Mechanical seal: check that there is no leakage along the shaft.
10.4 EXTENDED STOP
When stopping the pump for a longer time, empty the pump completely and wash it accurately in
order to avoid the formation of scales and/or encrustations. When starting the pump again, please
follow the above-mentioned instructions.
10.5 CLEANING THE PUMP
The pump does not require any special washing procedures. The washing cycles normally used
for the plant in which it is installed are quite satisfactory. When using the pump for liquids that tend
to harden or crystallize, always make sure it is washed before taking the machine out of operation.
This will ensure durability of the seal and of the pump itself. It is the user's responsibility to ensure
that the washing liquids are compatible with the process liquid and the pump.
11 DECOMMISSIONING
Proceed as follows when dismantling the pump:
- Disconnect the electrical and fluid connections as prescribed by established standards and
regulations.
- Disassemble all the pump's components and wash them for sorted disposal, and thoroughly
clean the pump's frame.
The following materials are used in the principal components:
- Pump casing, cover, impeller, shaft, impeller nut: AISI 316L stainless steel (for special alloy
pumps, refer to the bill of materials)
- Elastomers/polymers: NBR-EPDM-FKM-FFKM-PTFE
- Mounts and external parts: AISI 304, cast iron with corrosion proof treatment
- Other components: composite mechanical seals, stainless steel and elastomers, ball and roller
bearings
- Motor: aluminium - cast iron – copper (refer to the manufacturer's manual for details)
- Exhausted oil and grease
Refer to the pump's bill of materials (included with this manual) for further details on the materials
of which the parts are composed.
There are no components containing asbestos, cadmium or lead, PBB or PBDE.
WARNING The user must scrap the pump in observance of local regulations.

13 WORKING IRREGULARITIES
We are herewith listing some of the possible working irregularities which may occur using the pumps,
with a table helping to find out the possible causes and how to solve the problem.

Trouble:
A) The pump does not run
B) The delivery is not sufficient
C) The pressure is not sufficient
D) The pump stops priming
E) Power absorption too high
F) Leakages from the mechanical seal
G) Short life of the mechanical seal
H) Failure of the mechanical seal
I) Anomalous vibrations and/or noise
L) Short life of bearings

Possible causes and necessary operations to solve them:

1) The pump is not properly primed.
- Repeat the priming.
2) Air entering from suction connections.
- Check the lock.
3) Air entering from the mechanical seal.
- Replace the mechanical seal or arrange a solution with a vacuum spring in case of vacuum suc-
tion operation.
4) Obstructions present along suction pipes or valves closed along pipes.
- Verify and remove all foreign matter from pipes and finally verify valve status (if closed, open them).
5) NPSH available in the plant is lower than NPSH needed by the pump.
- Reduce the friction loss or adjust the pump at a lower delivery point.
6) Defective operation of the standing valve (not flooded pumps).
- Restore the proper operation of the valve or replace it with a perfect one.
7) Plant friction losses higher than pump performances.
- Reduce friction losses or replace the pump with a more suitable one for requested performances.
8) Opposite direction of rotation or too low velocity (in case of a pump operated by an inverter).
- Restore the correct direction of rotation; increase the motor speed.
9) The impeller is clogged by foreign matter (in case of pump with closed-impeller).
- Remove foreign matter from the impeller.
10) Worn mechanical seals.
- Replace worn parts.
11) Worn or partially clogged impeller.
- Replace the impeller or remove foreign matter.
12) Product viscosity higher than foreseen.
- Verify the pump size.
13) Presence of too much gas in the fluid.

14) Plant friction losses lower than foreseen.
- Increase friction losses or adjust the pump at a higher working point.
15) Fluid specific gravity higher than foreseen.
- Increase the installed motor power.
16) Pumped fluid too viscous.
- Verify the pump size.
17) Higher pump delivery during operation due to plant friction losses lower than foreseen.
- Adjust the pump at a lower working point or increase the plant friction losses.
18) Rotation speed too high (when pump is controlled by an inverter).
- Reduce the velocity.
19) Internal frictions caused by slipping between rotating and fixed parts.
- Restore normal assembly conditions.
20) Misalignment of pump-motor or deformed shaft.
- Restore the correct alignment between pump and motor; replace the shaft with a new one.
21) Damaged bearings of pump or motor.

 "Q" and "V" Exec. mechanical seal auxiliary flushing

Upon the first start up, the filling of the pump, must be guaranteed. Furthermore, you must guarantee
the full filling of the auxiliary systems, if present, such as the lubrication circuit of the external dual-
seal (seal execution “Q”) or the external flushing circuit (seal execution “V”).
Lack of compliance with the present requirements causes the dry operation of the pump and of the
mechanical seal; consequently the mechanical seal can be overheated and damaged.
The auxiliary services (optional) are the following:
- flushing for the double external mechanical seal (seal execution “Q”)
- external flushing for the internal seal (execution “V”).

The following conditions are recommended:

V 4th Gr. 55 Ø 1/4" Gas female 1450 0,8-1,5 See seal instructions

Exec."Q": in case of leaks from the process seal (pump side) the flushing liquid comes into contact
with the pump fluid; always use a flushing liquid that is compatible with the process liquid.
The flushing must be arranged with a pressure value of 0,5 ÷ 1 Bar higher than the pressure foreseen at the
suction, in order to have the right compensation.
The mixing of incompatible liquids can cause strong exothermic reactions with the development
of heat.
In the presence of dangerous liquids and /or use of flushed seals (execution “Q”-“V”) the presence
of the flushing liquid must be monitored by means of a system that can intervene to stop the pump
in case of flushing liquid absence.
In the presence of liquids dangerous to health and/or the environment, it is advisable to insert a
monitoring device of the seal flushing liquid that can intervene to stop the pump or as an alarm sign,
in case of contamination of the flushing liquid.

Operation checks

Verify the presence of flushing of the mechanical seal (execution “Q”-“V”).

Verify the absence of leaks from the auxiliary service connections of the seal (if present).

20 BEARINGS MAINTENANCE

20.1 BEARINGS MAINTENANCE FOR CS SERIES PUMPS

In CS series pumps up to motor size 132 (5.5 ÷ 9.2 kW) the bearings installed are shielded and
consequently do not need to be lubricated.

20.2 BEARINGS MAINTENANCE FOR CS - CSX SERIES PUMPS WITH HOUSING SIZE 160 ÷ 200
The bearings of CS pumps are sized for an operational life of 20,000 hours or more.
The life of the bearing and feasible re-lubrication interval may be reduced in the following cases:
harsh working conditions (high ambient temperature and humidity, dust, aggressive atmosphere),
use with frequent starting and stopping cycles and/or at variable loads and extended periods of
inactivity.
Maintenance intervals are therefore to be established according to the conditions of use and ba-
sed on acquired experience.

“CS” series pumps “CSX” series pumps

(Pict. 1) (Pict. 2)

Grease nipple Grease nipples

In CS series pumps with housing size 160 ÷ 200 (11 ÷ 22 kW), the bearings must be lubricated
periodically; to ensure correct lubrication, the bearing must be disassembled, cleaned thoroughly
and lubricated with fresh grease, making sure only to fill the crowns to half their volume. They
can be topped-up with grease periodically via the grease nipple on the bearing housing (see pict.
1 - pict. 2).
Each time the bearing is disassembled, replace the grease lip sealing gasket (pos.32 CS, pos.
206-207 CSX), making sure the ring sealing seat is not worn.
To lubricate the bearings correctly, you are recommended to use high performance grease
of SKF LGHP2 with temperature range -30°C/150°C.

The following table provides indications on the re-lubrication interval on the amount of grease
recommended and the type of bearing on the pump.

 20.3 BEARINGS MAINTENANCE FOR CSK SERIES PUMPS

The bearings of the pump support are lubricated using the oil bath method.
The pump is supplied with the support without oil; fill the support before starting the pump, using oil
supplied by C.S.F., or an equivalent type of oil.
The procedure to fill with oil is the following: with the pump off, unscrew the release plug (pos. 74) and
turn the bulb of the constant level oiler (pos. 76), as shown in the figure, then pour the oil through
the release plug until it reaches the level of the hole at the side where the constant level oil-feeder
is situated, as shown in the figure; then partially fill the bulb as a reserve and turn it to the closed
position and screw the release plug back on.
After a short amount of time check whether the reserve level in the bulb has dropped; it is important
to maintain the correct reserve level.It is important to check the oil level periodically, topping it up if
necessary, without exceeding the level shown in the figure. An excessive amount of oil will cause
the temperature of the bearings to increase.
It is recommended to change the oil after approximately 300-500 hours the first time, and
subsequently approximately every 8.000 hours, for operating bearing temperatures up to 60°C
(anyway, oil must be replaced every year) and reduce the interval for higher temperatures (refer
to C.S.F. Inox or follow the SKF instructions). To change the oil in the support, unscrew the
release plug (pos. 75) and drain the exhausted oil out into a specific container, then screw the
plug back on and pour the new oil in, according to the procedure described above.

21 CLEANING PROCEDURE

The cleaning of stainless steel pumps depends on the process liquid.

Typically the cleaning process should be developed by a plant responsible of sanitization.
C.S.F. Inox recommends a fluid velocity between 1,5-3 m/s, with rinsing water and chemical agent
like alkaline detergent and acid.
Chemicals like hypochlorite and chlorine must be avoided because stainless steel could be damaged
by corrosion.

Alkaline detergent:
A sodium hydroxide/water solution may be used at concentration 1-3% at a temperature of 70-90°C;
a surfactant could be added to increase the rinse cleaning.

Acid solution:
It is used to neutralize alkaline residual and for the passivation of the stainless steel surface; a
solution of nitric acid at 1-2,5% could be used at ambient temperature up to 45°C.
Other acid solution could be: citric acid and water (0,5-3% at 70°C) and phosphoric acid at 0,5%
with a temperature up to 45°C (with inhibitor of corrosion).

Suggested cleaning process:

1) Prerinse with cold water (15-25°C) for 10-15 minutes to remove any residue.
2) Warm prerinse with water at 45-60°C for 10 minutes.
3) Rinse with alkaline solution at 70-95°C for 20-30 minutes.
4) Intermediate rinse with water (warm or cold) up to 60°C for 5-10 minutes.
5) Rinse with acid solution like nitric acid for 10 – 15 minutes at ambient temperature.
6) Final rinse with cold water for 10-15 minutes or until any traces of cleaning agent have been removed.

Caution:
1) During the CIP process there are thermal expansion: take care that there are not rapid tempe-
rature variation.
2) Chemical agents at high temperature can cause potential health risk: respect the safety regulation
and use protection devices
3) Control the concentrations and temperature of chemical agents during the CIP.
4) Store the cleaning agents in compliance with the safety regulations

Sterilization:
If requested, a sterilization can be carried out by means of hot water or steam; the pump must be
stopped during the sterilization process with steam. See the admissible temperature for sterilization
depending on gasket compound.

Temperature limits for rubber gasket Steam/hot water Chemical bactericidal

EPDM 121°C 82°C
FPM/FKM 149°C 82°C

Impeller nut cleaning and sterilization:

1) The dismantled nut should be cleaned before assembling (internal threads).
2) Clean the nut with Ultrasound washing system or detergent and rinsing with clean water.
3) Sterilize the nut with steam at 143°C for 30 mintes in autoclave or using chemicals solution (i.e.
glutaraldheyde solution). Do not use chlorine solutions because satainles steel could be damaged
by corrosion.
