Section 1 General
Introduction ese operating instructions are valid for the Quattroflow 1200S pump. No
liability will be undertaken for any damages caused be non-compliance with the
operating instructions and service conditions! Original spare parts serve safety
purposes. e use of other parts may cancel the liability for the consequences
and secondary failures resulting there of.

Quattroflow quaternary diaphragm pumps are constructed according to the
state of the art and they are reliable. Imminent danger by operating error or
misuse can lead to damages of properties and/or persons. e pumps are to
be applied for the intended use in a safety-related proper condition only.
Storage In general the Quattroflow pump is delivered operational and packaged. If
the unit is not installed right away, proper storage conditions are important
for trouble free operation later. e pump has to be protected from wetness,
coldness, dirtying, UV-radiation and mechanical influences. e following
storage conditions are recommended:
-Steady ventilated, dust and vibration free storage room
-Ambient temperature between 15°C (59°F) and 25°C (77°F) with a relative
humidity below 65%.
-Prevention of direct thermal influences (sun, heating).

Labeling of the Pump e ALMATEC Machinenbau GmbH is certified as a modern, quality-
orientated enterprise according to DIN EN ISO 9001: 2008 and 1400: 2009.
Before release for sale, any Quattroflow pump has to undergo an extended final
control. e performance data registered during this are archived in our records
and can be read back at any time.
As a general rule in the countries of the EU only such machines are allowed to
be placed into operation, which are determined to meet the regulations of the
EU machinery directive, the harmonized standards, European standards and
the respective national standards. Hence the operator has to verify whether
the Quattroflow pump manufactured and delivered properly according to the
customers order meets the mentioned requirements.
erefore make sure, before putting the pump into operation, that the pump
and the used materials of construction are suitable for the provided applica-
tion and the installation site.
e type label of each Quattroflow pump can be seen on the bottom of the
pump. e serial number of the pump head is fixed the bottom of the pump.

Section 2 QF1200 S Pump Description
Section 2
QF1200 S Pump Description
Appropriate Use e Quattroflow 1200S is a 4 piston-diaphragm pump, which is mainly used
to pump water-like fluids that are typically handled in research, pilot plant or
production facilities of the pharmaceutical, biotech, food or cosmetic research
centers or plants.
Examples:
• Solutions containing protein (albumin, IgG, Clotting factors, monoclonal,
enzymes, vaccines.)
• Solutions of polymers or suspensions (silicon, latex, chromatography media)
• Cell suspensions (bacteria, yeast, algae, fungi, mammalian cells)
• Colloidal solutions
• Suspensions of viruses or phage
• Dairy products
• Gelatin
• Supplements and ingredients for cosmetic and food
Typical applications for the QF1200 S
- Filtration technology:
• To recirculate feed/retentive (e.g. membrane cassettes, hollow fibre, spiral
wound, ceramic elements).
•Feed Pump for filter cartridges or plate and frame depth filters
- Chromatography:
•Packing of chromatography columns
•Feed pump to mix gradients
- Feed pump for centrifuges or separators
- Feed pump for homogenizers
- Feed pump for filling machines

General Description of
the Machine
e Quattroflow 1200 S pump is a 4 piston-diaphragm pump. e four
segments of the pump diaphragm oscillate back and forth. is alternate
movement is created by a connector plate that is arranged on a ball
bearing. e ball bearing sits on an eccentric shaft. e connector plate
does not turn!
e stroke of the piston is determined by the angle of the eccentric. ere
are eccentric shafts with 5° available.
Range of flow rate:
5°eccentric shaft: approximate 20-11200 L/hr
In Gallons:
5˚ eccentric shaft: approximate 5.3- 317 gph

Please note:
e direction of flow can be adjusted by turning the pump chamber in 90°
steps.
e Quattroflow 1200 S is self-priming and can run dry. Inside the pump
chamber there are no rotating parts that might cause heating up of the product
or shed particles.
e pump-motor unit is mounted on a stainless steel base plate. In case that
the pump will not be operated on the base plate but for example in a frame, a
perpendicular mounting position is possible.
Start-Up Before start-up of the pump one should acquaint oneself with the explanations
of the troubleshooting. Only by doing this can defects be quickly realized and
eliminated in case of trouble. Problems which cannot be solved or with an
unknown reason should be passed on to the manufacturer.
Prior to each use we recommend to flush the pump with a proper fluid (e.g.
water or buffer).
Prior to the very first use it might make sense to clean and sanitize the
pump chamber. A commercial caustic clear and/or 0.1 to 0.5N NaOH can
be applied. e chosen cleaning agent can be recirculated and also stored
inside the pump chamber. For Flushing out of any cleaning agent do not
recirculate! Check with appropriate analytical methods the success of the
flushing procedure.
Recommendation: Test run prior first use!
Before using your pump in your process perform a test run to get
used to the specific properties of the pump.
Pay attention to have sufficiently dimensioned piping. Too small
of for the suction line can cause cavitation as well as a loss of
performance.
If hoses are used in the suction line, make sure that they do not
collapse due to the negative pressure.
When installing the pump please insure that around the pump
enough space is available for the operation and maintenance. Pay
attention to the required space needed for assembly and disas-
sembly of the pump chamber.
During start-up pay attention to the warning and safety instructions
of this manual.
