1.3.2 General test
This machine has been accurately inspected in the premises of GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A. before shipment,
with operating test simulating normal working conditions.
The test was performed with cold water to verify match between machine characteristics and design charac-
teristics, calibration of safety, regulation and control systems, efficiency of seals and general operation with
no abnormal noise or vibrations, parametrization of any instruments or programmable equipment.
Testing of machine performance (flow rate at the maximum operating pressure, noise level, power absorp-
tion) was carried out with water at 20 °C approx., so it was possible to verify that the deviation of actual ma-
chine flow rate with respect to the rated value is ± 5% depending on the different temperatures and viscosity
values of the product treated.
After installation, at the time of startup, it is still necessary to run a final general test on site with the presence
of technicians from GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A
