Replacing diaphragms and valves

All bearings are encapsulated and are lled with long-life lubricant. Under normal

operating conditions, the pump is maintenance free. The valves and diaphragms are

wear parts. If the rated ultimate vacuum is no longer achieved or in case of increased

noise level, the pump interior, the diaphragms and the valves must be cleaned and

the diaphragms and valves must be checked for cracks or other damage. Depend-

ing on individual cases it may be efcient to check and clean the pump heads on a

regular basis. In case of normal wear the lifetime of the diaphragms and valves is >

10000 operating hours.

- Prevent internal condensation, transfer of liquids or dust. The diaphragm and

valves will be damaged, if liquids are pumped in signicant amount.

If the pump is exposed to corrosive gases or vapour or in case of deposits, mainte-

nance should be carried out frequently.

- Regular maintenance will improve the lifetime of the pump and also protect both

man and environment.

Ensure that maintenance is done only by suitable trained and supervised techni-

cians.

☞ Ensure that the pump cannot be operated accidentally. Never operate the pump

if covers or other parts of the pump are disassembled. Never operate a de-

fective or damaged pump.

☞ Before starting maintenance isolate the pump from the electrical supply and

wait two minutes after isolating the equipment from mains to allow the capaci-

tors to discharge. Avoid the release of pollutants. Allow sufcient cooling of the

pump.

• Attention: The pump might be contaminated with the process chemicals that have

been pumped during operation. Ensure that the pump is decontaminated before

maintenance and take adequate precautions to protect people from the effects

of dangerous substances if contamination has occurred. Ensure that the mainte-

nance technician is familiar with the safety procedures which relate to the prod-

ucts processed by the pumping system.

• Wear appropriate safety-clothing when you come into contact with contaminated

components. Avoid the release of pollutants.

Before starting maintenance vent the pump and isolate it from the vacuum system.

☞ Please read section ”Replacing diaphragms and valves” completely before

starting maintenance.

Partially the pictures show pumps in other versions. This doesn’t inuence replacing diaphragms and

valves of the pump.
