Warnings are emphasised by means of special signs.

Always read the manual before using the pump!

2.3

Safety precautions

Installation:

Always read the technical data thoroughly. (See chapter 6 Technical data)

Always use a lifting crane when handling the pump.

Never start in the wrong direction of rotation with liquid in the pump.

Always have the pump electrically connected by authorised personnel. (See the motor instruction)

Operation:


Never touch the pump or the pipelines when pumping hot liquids or when sterilising.

Never run the pump with both the suction side and the pressure side blocked.

Never run the pump when partially installed or not completely assembled

Necessary precautions must be taken if leakage occurs as this can lead to hazardous situations

Always handle lye and acid with great care.

Never use the pump for products not mentioned in the Alfa Laval pump selection program.

The Alfa Laval pump selection program can be acquired from your local Alfa Laval sales company.

Maintenance:


Never service the pump when it is hot.

Never service the pump if pressurised.

Always use Alfa Laval genuine spare parts.

Motors with grease nipples:

Remember lubrication must be in accordance with the information plate/label on the motor.

Always disconnect the power supply when servicing the pump.

Transportation:

Transportation of the pump or the pump unit:

Never lift or elevate in any way other than described in this manual

3 Installation

Study the instructions carefully and pay special attention to the warnings! Always check the pump before operation.

- See pre-use check in section 3.3 Pre-use check, page 9

The large pump sizes are very heavy. Alfa Laval therefore recommends the use of a lifting crane when handling the pump.

3.2

Installation

Step 1

Always read the technical data thoroughly.

(See chaper 6 Technical data)

Always use a lifting crane when handling the pump.

Always have the pump electrically connected by authorised personnel. (see the motor instructions).

NOTE

In case of shaft seal leakage, the media will drip from the slot in the bottom of the adaptor. In case of shaft seal leakage, Alfa

Laval recommends placing a drip tray underneath the slot for collecting the leakage.

Step 2

Ensure that there is sufficient clearance around the pump (min.

0.5 m)(1.64 ft).

NOTE!

US pumps have no shroud

CAUTION

Alfa Laval cannot be held responsible for incorrect installation.

WARNING:

Alfa Laval recommend the installation of a lockable repair breaker. If the repair breaker is to be used as an emergency stop, the colors of the repair breaker must be red and yellow.

CAUTION

The pump does not prevent back flow when intentionally or unintentionally stopped. If back flow can cause any hazardous situations, precautions must be taken e.g. check valve to be installed in the system preventing above described.

Step 3

Check that the flow direction is correct.

Recycling information

• Unpacking

Packing material consists of wood, plastics, cardboard boxes and in some cases metal straps.

Wood and cardboard boxes can be reused, recycled or used for energy recovery

Plastics should be recycled or burnt at a licensed waste incineration plant

Metal straps should be sent for material recycling

• Maintenance

During maintenance, oil and wear parts in the machine are replaced

All metal parts should be sent for material recycling

Worn out or defective electronic parts should be sent to a licensed handler for material recycling

Oil and all non-metal wear parts must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations

• Scrapping

At end of use, the equipment must be recycled according to relevant, local regulations. Besides the equipment itself, any hazardous residues from the process liquid must be considered and dealt with in a proper manner. When in doubt, or in the absence of local regulations, please contact your local Alfa Laval sales company.

6 Technical data

It is important to observe the technical data during installation, operation and maintenance.

Inform personnel about the technical data.

6.1

Technical data

The SolidC pump is designed for standard duty applications, like pumping CIP (Cleaning in Place) solutions, utilities, water

(processing, hydrating, cooling), washing machines, simple transport duty within working range. SolidC is suitable for use in the food, dairy, beverage, personal care, pharmaceutical, light chemical and water industries.

The SolidC is available in the following sizes SolidC-1, SolidC-2, SolidC-3 and SolidC-4.

The above LKH noise levels are the same for LKHPF, LKHI, LKH UltraPure, LKH Evap, LKHex.

The above SolidC noise levels are the same for SolidC UltraPure.

The noise measurements have been carried out with original motor and shroud, approximately at the Best Efficiency Point (BEP) with water at ambient temperature and at 50 Hz.

Very often the noise level generated by the flow through the process system (e.g. valves, pipes, tanks etc.) is much higher than what is generated by the pump itself. Therefore it is important to consider the noise level from the total system and take the necessary precautions with regard to personal safety if required.
