1.2 Users' qualifications
WARNING!
Danger of injury with inadequately qualified personnel!
The operator of the plant / device is responsible for
ensuring that the qualifications are fulfilled.
If inadequately qualified personnel work on the unit or
loiter in the hazard zone of the unit, this could result in
dangers that could cause serious injuries and material
damage.
– All work on the unit should therefore only be con‐
ducted by qualified personnel.
– Unqualified personnel should be kept away from
the hazard zone
Training Definition
Instructed personnel An instructed person is deemed to be a person who has been instructed and,
if required, trained in the tasks assigned to him/her and possible dangers that
could result from improper behaviour, as well as having been instructed in the
required protective equipment and protective measures.
Trained user A trained user is a person who fulfils the requirements made of an instructed
person and who has also received additional training specific to the system
from ProMinent or another authorised distribution partner.
Trained qualified per‐
sonnel
A qualified employee is deemed to be a person who is able to assess the
tasks assigned to him and recognize possible hazards based on his/her
training, knowledge and experience, as well as knowledge of pertinent regula‐
tions. The assessment of a person's technical training can also be based on
several years of work in the relevant field.

2 Safety and responsibility
2.1 General safety information
WARNING!
Live parts
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries
– Measure: The device must be disconnected from
the power supply before it is opened
– Isolate damaged, faulty or manipulated devices
from the mains in order to de-energise.
WARNING!
Emergency stop switch
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries
An emergency stop switch is to be connected for the
entire plant. This should enable the entire plant to be
shut down in the event on an emergency in such a way
that the overall plant can be brought into a safe condi‐
tion.
WARNING!
Unauthorised access
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries
– Measure: Ensure that there can be no unauthor‐
ised access to the unit
WARNING!
Hazardous media / contamination of persons and
equipment
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries.
material damage
– Ensure that the pump hoses are resistance against
the media being conveyed
– Always observe the the safety data sheets for the
media to be conveyed. The system operator must
ensure that these safety data sheets are available
and that they are kept up-to-date
– The safety data sheets for the media being con‐
veyed are always decisive for initiating counter
measures in the event of leakage to the media
being conveyed
– Observe the general restrictions in relation to vis‐
cosity limits, chemical resistance and density
– Always switch the pump off before exchanging the
pump hose
Safety and responsibility
17

WARNING!
Correct and proper use
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries
– The unit is not intended to convey or regulate gas‐
eous or solid media
– Do not exceed the rated pressure, speed or tem‐
perature for the pump
– The unit may only be used in accordance with the
technical data and specifications provided in these
operating instructions and in the operating instruc‐
tions for the individual components
– The system is not designed for use in areas at risk
from explosion
– Only switch the pump on if it has been properly
fastened to the floor
– Only switch the pump on if it the front cover has
been attached.
WARNING!
Operational lifetime of the pump hoses
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries
The operational lifetime of the pump hoses cannot be
precisely specified. For this reason, the possibility of
fracture and consequential leakage of liquids must be
accounted for. If the hose rupture alarm (optional) is
fitted, then the pump can be stopped and / or an elec‐
trical valve can be actuated.
In addition, you must avoid particles from untight
hoses being introduced into the media being con‐
veyeed. This can be achieved e.g. by means of filtra‐
tion, a hose rupture alarm or other means suitable for
the respective process.
CAUTION!
CIP cleaning
In the event of CIP cleaning, it is necessary to obtain
information from the manufacturer about correct instal‐
lation of the pump (a special installation is required),
as well as regarding the compatibility of the cleaning
agents with the pump hoses of the pump and the other
hydraulic connections.
Cleaning should be undertaken at the recommended
maximum temperature.
CAUTION!
Direction of rotation / flow direction
Possible consequence: Material damage right through
to destruction of the unit
– The pump's direction of rotation in relation to the
desired flow direction must be checked prior to
every start.
Safety and responsibility
18

CAUTION!
Environmental influences
Possible consequence: Material damage right through
to destruction of the unit
– The device is not suitable for outdoor operation
– Take suitable measures to protect the device from
environmental influences such as:
– UV rays
– Moisture
– Frost, etc.

3 Functional description
The package contents supplied with the DULCOflex® DFCa is
selectable via the identcode.
The DULCOflex® DFCa is a displacement pump. The feed chem‐
ical is transported by the rotor squeezing the hose in the direction
of flow. No valves are needed for this. This ensures gentle han‐
dling of the metered media.
The DULCOflex® DFCa has been designed for safe and uncompli‐
cated operation, as well as straightforward maintenance.
The DULCOflex® DFCa can be used for many different media.
However, this pump type is often the optimal solution for abrasive,
shear-sensitive and viscose media.
Typical areas of use include processes where only a low discharge
pressure is required (max. 8 bar).
3.1 Construction
Main modules:
nDrive Unit
nHousing
nBase frame
The pump housing is closed off with a screwed front cover in order
to avoid the risk of injury.
The motor serves to drive the rotor. Rollers at the ends of the rotor
serve to press the pump hose against the pump housing.
The rotary movement of the rotors alternately press and relax the
rollers in relation to the pump hose. This serves to suck the media
in and convey it into the metering line.
