Introduction
The ALMATEC Maschinenbau GmbH is certified as a modern, quality-orientated enterprise according to
DIN EN ISO 9001:2000. Before release for dispatch, any pump of the A-Series has to undergo an extended
final control. The performance data registered during this are archived in our records and can be read back at
any time.
Before putting any pump into operation, make sure, that the materials of construction are resistant to the
chemical to be pumped. To check this, the exact pump code is required. This code, as well as the serial num-
ber, can be found in the following. Besides, these data are noted on the identification plates on the pump itself.
Pump code Serial-No.

Operation in explosion-proof areas and for inflammable liquids (Reg.-No. PTB: 03 ATEX D004)
For inflammable liquids as well as for applications in explosion-proof areas, only pumps
with housings and fittings in conductive plastic materials may be used. Pneumatic
diaphragm pumps of the A-Series with the housing codes F (PE-conductive) and U
(PTFE-conductive) meet this requirement. The pump has to be grounded. A connection
to ground the pump is included in the center housing [2]. All other housing parts are
connected to the center housing, therefore it is not necessary to ground single parts.
Piping systems and product connections have to be grounded separately. To avoid
ignition hazards the formation of dust deposits on the pumps must be prevented. In
explosion proof areas repair working only after careful inspection of the practicability and
only with appropriate tools. The “X” in the following marking stands for the max. operating
temperature; corresponding to the pump material referring to the technical data on the next page.

Product ports
The product ports are integrated into the center housing [2]. Different port configurations can be obtained. The
standard configuration of the A-Series at delivery is with the suction inlet horizontally at the bottom and the
discharge outlet horizontally at the top (figure 4.1). Further possible configurations:
• Suction inlet vertically at the bottom, the discharge outlet horizontally at the top (figure 4.2)
To obtain this configuration, the plug of the center housing [8] has to be removed and set in the
standard inlet.
• Suction inlet horizontally at the bottom, the discharge outlet vertically at the top (figure 4.3)
Unscrew the housing bolts [15], take off the side housings [1] and turn the center housing [2]. Remount
the pump and adjust the plug [8] accordingly.
figure. 4.3figure. 4.1 figure. 4.2
Installation and operation
UV-radiation can damage the housing parts of pumps made of PE (material code E). In general, the pump has
to be connected load free. Neglecting this causes leakage and maybe even damages. To avoid vibrations,
pulsation dampers and compensators are recommended. Before connecting the pump, take the yellow blind
plugs out of the suction and discharge connections as well as the air inlet [19] in the center housing [2]. The
connections of ALMATEC pneumatic diaphragm pumps in polymer materials have slightly tapered threads.
Use threadseal only sparingly, otherwise the connections could be damaged.
To facilitate the installation and maintenance shut off valves should be installed right before and after the
pump. The nominal width of the connection pipes has to be chosen in accordance to the connections of the
pump. A smaller piping can cause cavitation (suction line) as well as a loss of performance (suction and
discharge line). In case the pipe is too big, the dry suction capacity of the pump can decrease. Connect the
suction line to the lower connection in the center housing [2]. Seal the suction line diligently; hosepipes should
be suitably armoured. A suction line continuously rising will prevent the formation of air locks in the line which
would affect the suction lift.
The air inlet [19] is located in the middle of the center housing [2]. Before installation make sure that the air
supply pipe is free of solids. To supply the pump with driving air sufficiently, the pipe diameter should match
the size of the air inlet. Take care that no dirt or particles can intrude into the pump during the connection, as
these can accumulate inside the pump and can cause malfunctions. An air filter [20] directly behind the air inlet
[19] (not included in A 08 and A 10) prevents the entry of bulk particles.
The integrated air control system PERSWING P®is a precision-control that requires oil-free, dry and clean
compressed air for optimal function. If humidity is expected, a water separator or air dryer has to be fitted to
protect the pump from blocking by ice. The ideal condition is the dewpoint of air at -20°C. In humid
surroundings, icing from the outside may occur despite the driving air is dried. If so, a prolonged waste-air-
exhaust (ca. 500 mm by pipe or hose) can be helpful. When installing the pump into boards or cabinets, it has
to be ensured that cold air does not get caught behind the muffler.
The pressure of the driving air should be limited to the amount required to meet the performance needed.
Excessive pressure increases both the air consumption and the wear of the pump. The pump is regulated by
tuning the flow rate of the air. An empty pump has to be driven slowly (e.g. via a needle-valve). The pump
starts automatically. Pumps of the A-Series are self-priming when dry, thus it is not necessary to fill the suction
line of the pump. The suction lift capacity of a liquid-filled pump, however, is much higher. The pump is
appropriate for running dry during slow operation. Dry running at high stroke frequency causes premature
wear.The maximum permissible stroke frequencies can be found in the following table. The pumps can briefly
(up to max. one hour) be operated against a closed discharge line. Throttling on the suction side may damage
the pump.

Before putting the pump into operation as well as after some hours of pumping, the housing bolts
[15] have to be fixed according to the torque data of the following schedule, as the elements of
construction "settle". The valve stops discharge valve [6] and the plugs [7,8] have to be fixed too.
Fixing all these parts is necessary as well after longer periods of stoppage, at extreme
temperature variations, after transport and dismantling the pump.

• Installation, operation, and maintenance by qualified staff only.
• Pressure tests of the plant a pump is included in may only be carried out with the pump
disconnected from the pressure on both ports or by using the pressure the pump develops
while operating. The load of a pressure in the plant may damage the pump.
• Pump must not be operated with a positive suction pressure.
• Depending on the conditions of operation, the liquid conveyed might escape from the pump
through the muffler in case of a diaphragm rupture (in this case muffler has to be replaced).
For further safety requirements the optional equipment diaphragm monitoring and barrier
chamber system are recommended.
• The state of the muffler has to be inspected regularly, as a blocked muffler can be forced out
of the pump. If this happens, damages of properties and/or persons cannot be excluded.
• If the product tends to settle, the pump has to be flushed regularly. For larger solids a filter
has to be installed in the suction line.
• In case of delivery of hot liquids the wetted pump must not standstill for a longer time,
because it could lead to temporary leaks in the valve area and to a blockade of the air control
system.
• The relevant effective security advises have to be respected.
• Pumps of the A-Series must not be submerged.
• Pools of liquid which appear in the near outer area of the pump have to be inspected on
danger potential, if necessary safety measures are to be taken.
• Chemical and biological reactions in the product chamber of the pump (mixture of different
substances) and the freezing of the liquid have to be avoided.
• Especially when deliver critical liquids, wear parts, like diaphragms, should be replaced within
a preventive maintenance.
• The use of non-original ALMATEC spare parts and structural changes lead to the lapse of the
warranty immediately. When operating such a pump, damages of properties and/or persons
cannot be excluded.
• The operation of the pump with nitrogen as driving gas is possible. In closed rooms a
sufficient ventilation must be provided.
Providing spare parts
We recommend to have the spare part kits S on stock. These include the relevant spare parts for your pump.

Disassembly
Among the different sizes of the A-Series - A 15 to A 50 - only the number of housing bolts [15] varies.
Besides, for the sizes A 08 and A 10 the shaft [16] additionally functions as the pilot piston for the air-valve. In
these pumps A 08 and A 10, there are no shaft piston rings [18] and no set screws [17] nor an air filter [20].
Please keep these differences in construction in mind when reading the following dismantling instructions.
The general design of the ALMATEC A-Series is simple. Two tools are delivered along with every pump. The
plastic one of these is designed for the mounting of the air-valve [22], the other one for the mounting of valve
seat [10]. Further special tools are not required.
• Before starting to disassemble the pump, take care that the pump has been emptied and
rinsed. Further the pump has to be cut off from any energy on the air and product side. If
the pump is being deported from the plant, a reference about the delivered liquid has to
be attached.
• Please respect the relevant additional security advices, if the pump has been used for
aggressive, dangerous or toxic liquids.
• Before putting the pump back into operation, the tightness of the pump has to be
checked.
Take the caps out of the side housings [1] to get access to the housing bolts [15]. Unscrew the housing bolts
[15] on one side using a socket wrench and remove the side housing [1]. Work carefully to ensure that the
sealing surfaces in contact to the diaphragms are not damaged. Carefully draw the housing bolts [15] out of
the pump. The center housing [2] and both side housings [1] are removeable now. Remove the sleeve [3] out
from the side housing [1]. Take the O-rings sleeve [11] out of the center housing [2] and both side housings [1]
for a possible renewal.
For further dismantling of the side housings [1], screw out the valve stop, discharge valve [6] with an
appropriate wrench (figure 6.1). Alternatively, you can stick two housing bolts [15] into the holes in the valve
stop [6] and loosen the valve stop with a third housing bolt [15] fixed in between the others. Take out the ball
valve [9] resp. cylinder valve [9] and the O-ring, valve stop, discharge valve [12]. Use the metallic mounting
tool to unscrew the valve seat [10] (figure 6.2/6.3).
figure 6.1 figure 6.2 figure 6.3
The plug, side housing [7] can be unscrewed the same way as described for the valve stop [6]. Loosen the
bolt, valve stop [5] with a screw-driver (figure 6.4). Push the valve stop, suction valve [4] towards the
discharge, so that the ball/cylinder valve [9] can be removed. Turn the mounting tool and screw the valve seat
[10] into the side housing [1] (figure 6.5). The valve seat [10] and the valve stop, discharge valve [4] can now
be removed from inside the side housing..

figure 6.5 figure 6.6figure 6.4
Screw one diaphragm [14] left-turning off the shaft [16] and pull the other diaphragm [14] out of the center
housing [2] using the shaft[16]. Take set screws shaft [17] out of the diaphragms [14] (figure 6.6). Remove both
parts of the shaft piston rings [18] from their grooves carefully (figure 7.1); do not damage the edges in the
center housing, a re-assembly of the same piston rings is impossible, they have to be replaced. Unscrew the

muffler [21], the air inlet [19] and the air filter [20] out of the center housing [2]. To remove the PERSWING P®
air control system, screw off both end caps using the plastic mounting tool delivered with the pump (figure 7.2).
Take out main and pilot piston. Push out the air valve housing with the mounting tool turned around (figure
7.3).
figure 7.1 figure 7.2
figure 7.3
Assembly
The re-assembly of the components is principally carried out vice-versa to the dismantling. Here are some
additional references.
For the installation of the PERSWING P®air control system, first screw in one end cap flushly into the center
housing [2]. Insert one of the six O-rings air-valve housing [24] into the end cap from the inside. Moisture the
four O-rings [24] of the air-valve housing with a bit of water and push the housing into the center housing [2]
using the mounting tool. Take care that it slips in softly. Do never insert the housing violently with a hammer. In
case the housing cocks or hardly gets in, take it out again completely and start again. Insert the main piston
and the pilot piston. Lay the sixth O-ring [24] on the edge of the air valve housing and screw in the second end
cap.
To assemble new piston rings [18], carefully shape them like kidneys
with locking ring pliers and insert the rings into the grooves in the center
housing [2] (figure 7.4); completely press the rings into the grooves
smoothly using some round tool.
figure 7.4
Screw the set screws [17] into the diaphragms and tighten them. Fix the
diaphragms [14] completely into the shaft [16] with the set screws [17].
Adjust the bores in the center housing [2] to the diaphragm on both
sides (turn slightly backwards if necessary). The sealing surfaces of the
diaphragms and the side housings [1] have to be absolutely clean and
undamaged; mere small scratches can cause leaking (if necessary,
smoothen the housing surfaces carefully with fine sandpaper).
Cautiously push the O-rings, sleeve [11] into the side housings [1] and
the center housing [2] (avoid bending the rings by all means! If
necessary, moisture and softly twist the rings). When building in cylinder
valves, take care that these valves [9] are set into the valve stops [4,6]
with the pin on their top (figure 7.5). Shove one diaphragm [14] into the
center housing [2], lay the side housing [1] onto the diaphragm and fix
its position with housing bolts [15]. After that, shove the other diaphragm
[14] into the center housing [2] and carefully push the housing bolts [15]
completely through the center housing [2] [slightly turning the bolts helps
them to find their way]. Take care, that the diaphragms [14] are not
damaged. Adjust the second side housing [1]. Fix the housing bolts
[15] crosswise evenly according to the given torque values until the side
housings [1] are situated on the center housing [2]. Any further
tightening of the bolts does not improve sealing but can deform the
housing! Before putting the pump back into operation, the tightness of
the pump has to be checked.

ALMATEC Pulsation Dampers, T Series for the A-Series Pumps
The ALMATEC pulsation dampers series T represents the latest generation of active pulsation dampers. They
are specially designed to be used along with ALMATEC pneumatic double diaphragm pumps of the A-Series.
A general aspect to be considered is, that a pulsation damper decreases the total capacity of the system
depending on the point of operation.
Before putting an ALMATEC pulsation damper into operation, make sure, that the materials of construction are
resistant to the chemical to be pumped. To check this, the exact damper code is required. This code, as well
as the serial number, can be found in the following. Besides, these data are noted on the identification plates
on the damper itself.
Damper code Serial number
Example of the damper type code:
T 15 E A E
Diaphragm material: E EPDM
TPTFE/EPDMcompound
Material of damper head: A PA
F PE conductive
Material of damper housing: E PE
F PE conductive
TPTFE
UPTFEconductive
Size, nominal connection size: 10: 3/8“, 15: 1/2“, 25: 1“, 40: 1 1/2“, 50: 2“
ALMATEC pulsation damper, T series
Air supply connection: T 10 - T 25: R 1/8“, T 40 / T 50: R 1/4“
Max. operating pressure: 7 bar
Max. operating temperature: for damper housing in PE 70°C
for damper housing in PTFE size T 10 100°C, for the other sizes 120°C (with
damper head in PE conductive 80°C)
For inflammable liquids as well as for applications in explosion protected areas, only dampers made of
conductive polymer materials (code F resp. U) may be used. It is not necessary to ground the damper
separately, as the damper is connected conductively to the A-Series pump, which is conductive and has to be
grounded itself.
In general, pump and damper are dispatched completely mounted. Still, they can be packed in separate boxes,
especially for the bigger sizes. If so, the damper has to be screwed into the thread at the top of the center
housing [1] carefully, but only until the damper is in contact with the pump. Exceeded tightening may damage
the thread. Besides, a correct positioning of the O-ring [30] within the groove has to be ensured.
An ALMATEC T-damper can easily be attached to an A-Series pump at any time without changes of the
piping, provided that the pump is configurated with product ports both horizontally. Make sure that the plug,
center housing (Pos. 8 in the exploded view of the pump) is in the right position. For pumps delivered without
dampers, this plug can be found at the bottom side of the pump generally. Therefore, the center housing has to
be turned 180°, to get the plug to the top of the pump. Take the plug out, insert the flange-O-ring [30] and
screw the damper onto the pump. When dismounting a pump which is already being in use, take care of the
warning advices on pages 5/6 of this manual. The use of a pulsation damper of the series T reduces the
capacity of the complete system in dependence of the point of operation.

Before connecting the pump, take the yellow blind plugs
out of air inlet which is located on the top of the damper
head [16]. For correct operation, the damper absolutely
needs an air-supply of its own, which has to be taken
from the air-supply of the pump. Pump and pulsation
damper have to be connected to the same air pressure.
No stop or regulating valve may be placed between pump
and damper. The driving air has to be oil-free, dry and
clean. The damper requires a minimum counter pressure
of at least 1 bar for optimal function. Together with the
pump an empty damper has to be driven slowly. The
dampers are self-regulating for all changing operating
conditions.

• Before putting the pulsation damper into operation as well as after some hours of
operating, the housing bolts [10] have to be tightened carefully, as the elements of
construction tend to "settle". Fixing the bolts is necessary as well after longer periods of
stoppage, at extreme temperature variations, transport and after dismantling.
• Pressure tests of the plant a pump and a damper are included in may only be carried out
with the aggregate (pump and damper) disconnected from the pressure on both ports or
by using the pressure the aggregate develops while operating. The load of a pressure in
the plant may damage the pump and the pulsation damper.
• Before starting to disassemble the pump, take care that pump and damper have been
emptied and rinsed. Further both have to be cut off from any energy on the air and
product side. If pump and damper is being deported from the plant, a reference about
the delivered liquid has to be attached.
• Please respect the relevant additional security advices, if the pump and the damper have
been used for aggressive, dangerous or toxic liquids.
• Before putting the pump and the damper back into operation, the tightness of both has to
be checked.
• For further warning instructions, please refer to page 5.
Disassembly instructions
Unscrew housing bolts [10] carefully. After that, all parts can be removed. Screw the diaphragm [14] off the
actuator shaft [13]. A re-assembly of used piston rings [17] is impossible; they have to be replaced including
the O-rings underneath. To assemble new piston rings [17] carefully shape them like kidneys with locking ring
pliers and insert the rings into the grooves; completely press the rings into the grooves smoothly using some
round tool.
