3 | DESCRIPTION
3.1 - IDENTIFICATION OF THE PUMP
ALBIN PUMPS are identiable by the pump plate located on the frame. The plate includes the pump type and serial number of the
pump. This serial number leads to all information concerning building materials, nature of the hose, characteristics of the gearbox
and characteristics of the motor. The gearbox and motor have their own descriptive plate that states the reduction ratio, power,
and electrical voltage.
3.2 - OPERATION PRINCIPLE
PHASE 1
The pump hose is compressed successively by two rollers
assembled on a rotating wheel. The rst roller, by pressing
the walls of the hose, will create a vacuum and attract the
pumped liquid into the hose.
PHASE 2
The pumped liquid has now entered the hose. The
second roller will compress the hose and push the liquid
towards the pump outlet.
PHASE 3
As soon as, at the discharge side, the roller is detached
from the hose, the other roller diametrically opposite is
already in compression thus avoiding an internal product
leakage. The product is then successively sucked and
pushed due to the wheel rotation.

4.1 - UNPACKING AND CONTROL
During the reception of the pump, please follow the indications pointed out on the packing. Undertake a visual control to be
sure that no damage happened during the transport. If this is the case, please report the damage to the transport company and
thereafter contact your ALBIN PUMP distributor as soon as possible.
4.2 - CONDITIONS OF USE
ALP pumps can work in atmospheres where the temperature is situated between -20°C (-4°F) and 45°C (113°F) Pumps are
delivered painted with a polyurethane paint which allows them to resist certain aggressive ambiences. They are designed for indoor
and outdoor setups.
4.3 - SET UP
Before installing the pump, check the following points:
- The pump is delivered with a frame provided with four anchoring holes. It must be xed on a solid base with a slope which
does not exceed 5mm for 1m and must be rmly fastened to this one.
- Require enough space around the pump to carry out maintenance. If such was not possible, consider the moving of the
pump to a space provided for this purpose. Refer to the table below for additional information regarding space required for
maintenance activities.
- Make sure that the room is adequately ventilated to relieve the heat generated by the pump. Leave a space behind the motor
ventilator hood so as not to obstruct air intake.
4.4 - PIPING
Suction line piping:
- The internal diameter of the piping must be equal to or greater than that of the pump hose, see §3.4.
- It must be the shortest and most direct possible to avoid suction loss.
- Suction pressures at higher operating pressures may cause the pump to rotate when the pump is disengaged. Above 1 bar,
consider adding a suction line valve to prevent this occurrence.
- Limit the presence of bends and make sure that they are as large as possible.
- Make sure that piping can support the service pressure of the pump.
Discharge line piping:
-The internal diameter of piping must be superior to that of the pump hose, see §3.4.
- It must be the shortest and most direct possible to avoid discharge pressure loss.
- Limit the presence of bends and make sure that they are as large as possible.
- Provide a space for a pulsation dampener (see picture below).
- If there is a valve on the discharge line, install a pressure valve or a over pressure protection gauge to avoid any possible
damage to the pump and to the installation.
- It is recommended to install a exible line to help absorb pulsation.
During the pump ground study, provide enough space for the hose change.
Distance (L) is the required length for hose removal.
