5. PUMP COMPONENTS AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

5.1 PUMPING ELEMENTS

The pump has two fixed delivery standard pumping elements (25 cm^3/ min for each pumping element).
The seal between the piston and the pumping body is of a dry type, with no gasket provided between the two.
The pumping element retention valve is of the tapered seal type. This solution is able to guarantee an optimum seal for the
system at high operating pressures (max. pressure of 380 bar).
The pumping elements are assembled onto the pump body without disconnecting the hydraulic line thanks to a threaded
cartridge design, facilitating assembly/disassembling.

5.2 MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM GREASE LEVEL INDICATORS

The standard grease pumps have two level types:


 Minimum capacitive level (for 10 and 30 Kg tanks);
 Max visible level (floating).
You can install a laser level type as alternative.
Minimum and maximum level are floating switch type in oil version.

5.2.1 MINIMUM CAPACITIVE LEVEL (GREASE)

The minimum level is realised by a capacitive probe that is positioned at the end of a tube mounted on the tank cover. When the
minimum level is reached, the probe signals that the lubricant is low. If the capacitive probe is replaced, the capacitive probe
must be recalibrated (see calibration procedure – CHAP. 7.2. User instructions).

5.2.2 MAX LEVEL WITH MICRO-SWITCH (GREASE)

The phase that the lubricant is loaded in the tank is realised by the operator, who uses a pump.
Once the maximum lubricant level is reached, a rod is activated that indicates that the tank is full.

5.2.3 LASER-LEVEL (OIL AND GREASE)

Inside the Ex d kit case there is a laser range sensor with connector.
It has a 4-digit alphanumeric display and a reading distance up to 10 Mt.
The device includes the programming buttons.

5.2.4 MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM LEVEL WITH A FLOAT (OIL)

The level is made with two floats at the ends of metal shaft. Lower float acts as a minimum level by closing a contact when the
low position is reached. The Upper floats acts as a maximum level by closing another contact at high position.

5.3 SPATULA FOR GREASE


Two tanks have been foreseen with capacities of 10 and 30 kg. (22 – 66.1 Lb) two for oil and two for grease.
The tanks are supplied standard with a spatula and a scraper, which must not be disassembled during their assembly or
replacement. Under the spatula, there is a standard electrogalvanised steel mesh with 0.5 mm holes (0.02 in.). The pump is
protected from possible foreign bodies that could be inadvertently present while the tank is being loaded.

5.4 PRESSURE GAUGE


The pressure gauge is glycerine type, so as protect it from any pressure spikes that may create damage. It is assembled directly
in the manifold group (placed in front of the pump).

5.5 BY-PASS
Pressure gauge is pre-calibrated to 300 bar but it can be adjustable from 0 to 380 bar.

5.6 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

On the structure of the base is possible to mount a safety terminal box that contains a terminal board to connect the electrical
components of the Mini-SUMO Atex assembly (Motor, valves, level indicators, etc).
Choosing this option the pump will be supplied with wirings already connected to the terminal strip.
In figure below you can see the electrical connections on terminal board of the standard model. ( See Cap.11 Information about
ordering)

5.7 ELECTROPNEUMATIC CHANGE-OVER (optional)
The pump can be equipped with a pneumatic change-over valve piloted by a hazardous area certified solenoid.

The main change-over parts are:


 A casing with a central lapped hole that makes it possible
to make a dry seal connection with the inversion piston,
which is facilitated by a balancing system;
 A ground piston with a dual coupling surface, with
grooves that improve lubrication and the seal at high
pressures;
 The inversion phase is facilitated by a balancing system;
 Sealing gaskets that can support high pressure levels, by
means of a pressurized chamber, optimizing the change-
over function;
 Two single acting pneumatic actuating cylinders,
controlled by an 5/ 2 type solenoid valve.

5.8 HYDRAULIC CHANGE-OVER (optional)


The pump can also be equipped with a hydraulic change-over
valve that activates when the pressure is made on each line.
The pressure indicators are equipped with a pin that allows the
operator to visualize the operation of the valve.
The valve can also be equipped with cycle sensor (certified for
hazardous areas) to monitor the inversion phases of the valve.

6. UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION

6.1 UNPACKING
Once the suitable location for installation has been identified, open the package and remove the pump. Check that it was not
damaged during transport or storage. The packaging material does not require special disposal precautions as it is not in any
way dangerous or polluting. Refer to the local regulations for disposal.

6.2 INSTALLATION
Pump assembly operations are not required. The pump is fixed on a metal pallet that permits safe handling with a transpallet or
fork lift truck. The pallet was designed to be installed in the plant. It has four Ø 14 mm holes suitable for fixing to the floor.
Suitable space must be provided (as shown in the installation diagram) to prevent abnormal positions or the possibility of
impacts. Then, as described above, the pump must be connected hydraulically to the machine and then the connection to the
control panel must be made.

Special conditions for safe use


 Install in a place protected against impacts
 Check whether the installation has a lubricant level continuous monitoring system
7. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

7.1 STARTING THE PUMP

13. HANDLING AND TRANSPORT

Transport and storage are carried out using a metal pallet with packaging on the side and a wood cover.
The pump is fixed on a metal pallet that permits safe handling with a transpallet or fork lift truck. The metal pallet was designed
to be installed in the plant. It has four Ø 14 mm holes suitable for fixing to the floor.

Lift the equipment according to the direction shown on the cardboard package.
The machine components can support storage temperatures between
-20 to + 65 °C; however, to prevent damage, the machine must only be started up after the machine has
reached a temperature of +5 °C.

14. PRECAUTIONS

The warnings about the risks involved in using a pump for lubricants must be read.
The operator must understand its operation and clearly understand the hazards connected to pumping pressurised grease.
Therefore we recommend the following:
 Check the chemical compatibility of the material with which the pump is built with the fluid to be pumped (see chap. 4). An
incorrect selection could cause, in addition to damaging the pumps and pipes, serious risks for people (spillage of irritating
products that are harmful to health) and for the environment.
 Never exceed the maximum operating pressure permitted for the pump and the components connected to it. In the case of
doubt, refer to the data specified on the machine plate.
 Only use original spare parts.
 If components must be replaced with others, make sure they are suitable for operating at the pump's maximum operating
pressure.

ATTENTION!
Never try to stop or deviate any leaks with your hands or other body parts.

Note: Personnel must use protective devices, garments and tools in compliance with current standards with regard to the location
and the use of the pump both during work as well as during maintenance operations.

ATTENTION: The warnings about the risks involved in using a pump for lubricants must be read. The user must understand
its operation using the user and maintenance manual.

Electric current
Do not carry out any work on the machine before disconnecting it from the electrical power supply and making sure that no one
can reconnect it during the operation. All the installed equipment (electric and electronic), tanks and basic structures must be
connected to the ground line.

Inflammability
The lubricant used in the lubrication circuits is normally not an inflammable liquid. It is however necessary to adopt all the
possible measures to prevent that it comes into contact with very hot parts or open flames.

Pressure
Before each operation, make sure there in every branch of the lubrication circuit that there is no residual pressure that could
cause oil to spray when disassembling fittings or components. After long periods of inactivity, check the seal of all the parts
subject to pressure. Do not subject the fittings, pipes and pressurised parts to violent impacts. Damaged flexible pipes or fittings
are DANGEROUS and must be replaced.
Only original spare parts should be used.

Noise
Under normal operating conditions, noise emission does not exceed 70 dB “A” at a distance of 1 metre (39.3 inches) from the
pump.
NOTE:
The pump was designed to operate with lubricants with a maximum rating NLGI 2. Use lubricants that are compatible with
NBR gaskets. Any internal residual lubricant used for assembly and testing purposes is NLGI 2 oil

A comparison table is provided between the classification of NLGI lubricants (National Lubricating Grease Institute) and the
ASTM classification (American Society for Testing and Materials) for greases for the values that concern the pump.

GREASES
NLGI ASTM
000 445 – 475
00 400 – 430
0 355 – 385
1 310 – 340
2 265 – 295

For further information about the technical specifications and the safety measures to adopt, refer to the product safety sheet
(Directive 93/112/EEC) relative to the type of lubricant selected and supplied by the manufacturer.

15. CLEANING

It is necessary to remove periodically dust from pump avoiding the spread in the air. For this operation refers to Safety Officer.

16. TRAINING

Personnel assigned to installation, electrical connections and ordinary and special maintenance of the pump, must have at least
8 hours of specific training by an appropriate organism on equipment for explosive atmospheres caused by the inflammable
gases and combustible dusts.
