1 About this pump
The ProMinent®Makro/5 metering pump is fitted as standard with a dual-wound 3 kW three
phase motor. The stroke length can be adjusted between 0. . . 50 mm (HM:0. . . 20 mm). The
bead-blasted graphite housing can be combined with up to 25 liquid end sizes and 5 gear ratios
(integrated into the spur wheel back-geared motor). The liquid ends are available in different
material combinations which are chosen to comply with the chemical media being metered. The
reproducible metering accuracy is better than ±0. 5 % in the stroke length range from 10 %-
100 % (HM:±1 %) under defined conditions and subject to correct installation.
The ProMinent®Makro/5 add-on metering pump can be combined with the Makro/5 main power
end to produce a duplex/multiplex pump. A main power end can be combined with up to four
add-on power ends. One power end can be used as both a single and a double head version.
The double head versions are fitted with a second liquid end which operates in counter cycle
(Boxer principle.).
2 Safety
Correct use
of equipment Use • The pump may be used for metering liquid media only!
• All other applications and modifications are prohibited!
• The pumps with piston liquid end are not suitable for metering life-threatening liquids.
• The pump is not suitable for metering gaseous media or solids.
• The pump may be used only within the stated pressure range.
• Please observe general limitations with regard to viscosity limits, chemical resistance and
density and the stated ambient conditions.
• It is essential that you read this operating instruction manual together with the “General
Operating Instructions for ProMinent®Metering Pumps and Hydraulic Accessories”
concerning assembly, installation and maintenance!
• The pump is to be operated by appropriately trained personnel only.
Safety instructions WARNING

• The pump has no on/off switch.
In the event of an electrical fault, unplug the mains cable or switch off the
system at the emergency off-switch.
• Unplug the cable from the mains before working on the pump!
• Always depressurise the liquid end before working on the pump!
• Before working on the pump, empty the liquid end and rinse out if it has been
used with hazardous or unknown chemicals.
• Always wear suitable protective equipment when working on a liquid end
which has been used with hazardous or unknown chemicals.
• Pumps must be accessible at all times for operation and maintenance.
Access should never be impeded or blocked.
• Pumps which have been used with radioactiv media can not be sent.
• Before commissioning the pump, connect the overpressure sensor and the
diaphragm rupture sensor.
CAUTION
• It is prohibited to assemble and install ProMinent®metering pumps with parts
which have not been approved or recommended by ProMinent. Damage to
persons and property may ensue.
• When metering aggressive media, check the resistance of the pump materials
(See ProMinent®resistance list in the Product Catalogue or on our Homepage)
• Danger of burns from hot power end in the event of enfault.
• Observe all national directives which apply to installation!
