7 3. Layot and fnction ATEX Name Plate Peristaltic hose pmp, Verderflex VF, is simple by design in its constrction and operation. The medim to be pmped does not come into contact with any moving parts and is totally contained within a robst, heavy-dty hose, which sally consists of an inner layer, two six reinforcement layers and an oter layer. A rotor passes along the length of the hose, compressing it. This motion forces the contents of the hose directly in front of the rotor to move forward along the length of the hose in a positive displacement, peristaltic movement. In the wake of the rotor s compressing action, the natral elasticity of the polymer reinforced rbber forces the hose to open and regain its rond profile, creating sction pressre, which recharges the pmp. 3.1 Labelling Name Plate Pmp Serial No. VF Crrent non mining classification Crrent VF level of protection Year of manfactre.

21 7.3.3 Rebild / Repair Reinstall the components, in accordance with the marks applied. Material damage de to nsitable components! Always replace lost or damaged bolts with bolts of the same strength and material. 1. Observe the following dring the installation: Replace worn parts with genine spare parts. Maintain the prescribed tightening torqes (g Tightening torqes) 2. Clean all parts (g Cleaning agents). Do not remove any markings which have been applied. 3. Reassemble the pmp (g refer sectional drawing). 4. Install the pmp in the system (g 5 Installation and connection) 7.4 Hose change NOTE WARNING Risk of injry! Always isolate the power spply before working on the pmp. The hose change involves removal and re-installing the port flanges Dismonting the hose Draining lbricant Slip hazard de to spilt lbricant! Care mst be taken when lbricant is drained into a container. Dispose of sed lbricant in accordance with local laws and good environmental practices. Motor isolated. System secred against being switched back on again. 1. Remove the lower port flange. 2. Drain the lbricant into a sitable container. Removing the hose WARNING CAUTION Risk of injry if the hose is expelled too qickly Slowly remove the hose by rnning the motor at a redced speed 1. Remove both the flanges. 2. Use the motor to drive ot the old hose. If no power is available, remove the fan cover and trn the fan shaft by hand or sing sitable leverage. 3. Clean the pmp hosing. 4. Inspect the flanges for damage and signs of wear Re-installing the hose, port flanges, lbricant refill and fitting the inspection window - Follow step by step, the instrctions listed in section g 5.5 (Installing the hose) VF 5-80 Version 9.1v-04/ Page

22 7.5 Ordering spare parts For troble-free replacement in the event of falts, we recommend keeping spare parts available on site. The following information is mandatory when ordering spare parts (g Name plate): Pmp model Year of manfactre Part nmber / Description of part reqired Serial nmber Qantity 7.6 Accessories There are a nmber of accessories available to complement the Verder hose pmps, all of which are available pmp accessories refer VF spare parts list. The following accessories are available for the VF range of pmps: Revoltion sensor Hose brst detection kit Hygienic hose connections Plsation dampener 8. Storing pmps and hoses Verderflex pmps are designed for continos se, however, there may be instances when pmps are withdrawn from se and stored for extended periods. We recommend certain pre-storage actions and precations be taken whilst pmps and their components are not in se. Similarly, hoses and lbricants may be held in stock to service working pmps and their recommended storage conditions are advised Pre-Storage Actions The hose shold be removed from the pmp and lbricant drained ot from the pmp casing. The pmp casing shold be washed ot allowed to dry and any external bild p of prodct removed Cleaning Protocol for hoses VERDERFLEX hoses shold be cleaned with the following protocol NBRF Hoses: VERDERFLEX NBRF food grade hoses shold be cleaned with the following protocol: 1. First flsh 0.5% Nitric Acid (HNO3) soltion at p to 60 C 2. Second flsh 4% Castic soda (NaOH) soltion and eventally steamed open ends for 15 mintes at p to 110 C 3. Final flsh: flsh with clean water to remove all traces of cleaning soltions Under no circmstances shold VERDERFLEX NBRF food grade hoses be cleaned with Sodim hypochlorite (NaOCl) based cleaning soltions, neither shold the above concentrations, exposre, drations or temperatres be exceeded. EHEDG Approval VERDERFLEX NBRF food grade hoses can be sed with sitably specified VERDERFLEX pmps to form an EHEDG accredited hygienic pmping system. To comply with this certification both the approved particle velocity mst be maintained dring the cleaning cycle and the appropriate hygienic port flanges fitted. Shold a pmp to this specification be reqired, it shold be agreed with yor local VERDERFLEX distribtor before the pmp is spplied. Food Grade Approval All VERDERFLEX NBRF food grade hoses inner liners are certified as compliant to FDA CFR 21 Parts 170 to 189 Item Hose Description All VERDERFLEX NBRF food Grade hoses consist of a smooth black inner food grade liner bonded to a non-food grade oter. The inner liner is a taste-free and odorless. Hose Installation All VERDERFLEX NBRF food Grade hoses mst be installed in accordance with the procedres defined in the VERDERFLEX Operating and Maintenance manal. VF 5-80 Version 9.1v-04/ Page

23 Identification VERDERFLEX NBRF food Grade hoses can be identified by: a) Both an external Yellow Coding / Identification tape and an additional white longitdinal stripe b) On spply as a spare part, they will have their endssealed with Alminim foil Pmp Installation 9. Trobleshooting 9.1 Pmp malfnctions If malfnctions occr which are not specified in the following table or cannot be traced back to the specified cases, please conslt the manfactrer. Possible malfnctions are identified and respective case and remedy are listed in the table. VERDERFLEX pmps sing VERDERFLEX NBRF Food Grade hoses mst be installed in accordance with recommendations made by the pmp s spplier. In particlar, special care mst be given to the sction and discharge line conditions and that the hose is shimmed in accordance with VERDERFLEX s recommendations. Shold there be any dobt abot any installation details, these mst be discssed with the pmps spplier. Particle Release All hoses will release small qantities of rbber into the prodct stream, especially immediately after the hose installation and jst prior to hose failre. Whilst the rbber released will be food grade particles, these may case end-ser concerns abot contamination and so we recommend sitable particle captring devices sch as filters are fitted into the pmp s discharge line Storage Conditions Pmps shold be stored in a dry environment, ot of direct snlight. Depending on these conditions, it may be advisable to place a moistre-absorbing prodct, sch as Silica gel, inside the pmp s casing or to coat the pmp s inner srfaces with moistrerepelling oil, sch as WD40, whilst the pmp is stored. Gearboxes may reqire intermittent attention as indicated by the gearbox manfactrer s recommendations. Hoses shold be stored as spplied in their wrapper and shold be stored away from direct snlight, flat withot any bends or kinks and at room temperatre, with end caps fitted. Lbricants shold be stored nder normal warehose conditions with their caps secrely fastened. VF 5-80 Version 9.1v-04/ Page
