reliable.Imminentdangerbyoperatingerrorormisusecanleadtodamagesofpropertiesand/orpersons.
Thepumpsaretobeappliedfortheintendeduseandinasafety‐relatedproperconditiononly.Noliability
willbeundertakenforanydamagescausedbynon‐compliancewiththeoperatinginstructionsandservice
conditions!Originalsparepartsservesafetypurposes.Theuseofotherpartsmaycanceltheliabilityforthe
consequencesandsecondaryfailuresresultingthereof.

EachpersonworkingontheALMATECair‐operateddiaphragmpumpsconcerninginstallation,start‐up,

GENERALDESCRIPTIONOFTHEMACHINE,APPROPIATEUSEANDRESIDUALDANGERS

PumpsoftheQuattroTecseriesare4‐pistondiaphragmpumps.Thefoursegmentsofthepumpdiaphragm
oscillatebackandforth.Thisalternatemovementiscreatedbyaconnectorplatethatisarrangedonaball
bearing.Theballbearingsitsonaneccentricshaft.Theconnectorplatedoesnotturn.

TheappropriateuseofaQuattroTecpumpreferstothetransportofaqueousliquidstakingintoaccountthe
operationparametermentionedinthismanualandincomplianceofthegiventermsforcommissioning,
operation,assembly,disassemblyandmaintenance.

Evenifallnecessarysafetymeasuresdescribedinthismanualhavebeenmet,aresidualdangerexistsby
leakagesormechanicaldamages.Atsealingareasorconnectionsliquidcanbereleaseduncontrollablythen.


STORAGE

IngeneraltheQuattroTecpumpisdeliveredoperationalandpackaged.Iftheunitisnotinstalledrightaway,
properstorageconditionsareimportantforatroublefreeoperationlater.Thepumphastobeprotected
fromwetness,coldness,dirtying,UV‐radiationandmechanicalinfluences.The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)

LABELLINGOFTHEPUMP

ALMATECMaschinenbauGmbH–manufactureroftheQuattroTecpumps‐iscertifiedasamodern,quality‐
orientatedenterpriseaccordingtoDINENISO9001:2008and14001:2004.Beforereleasefordispatch,any
pumpoftheQuattroTecserieshastoundergoanextendedfinalcontrol.The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take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QuattroTec
pumpmanufacturedanddeliveredproperlyaccordingtothecustomer’sordermeetsthementioned
requirements.Thereforemakesure,beforeputtingthepumpintooperation,thatthepumpandtheused
materialsofconstructionaresuitablefortheprovidedapplicationandtheinstallationsite.Tocheckthis,the
exactpumpcodeisrequired.Thiscode,theserialnumberandtheyearofconstructionarenotedonthe

1.Suctionline
Makesurethattheinternaldiameterfromthesuctionlineislargeenough(typicallyequivalentwiththe
internaldiameterformthepumpconnector).Flowvelocitiesshouldtypicallybebelow2‐3m/sto.Consider
largerdiametersforfluidswithhigherviscosities.Minimizethepressuredropinthesuctionlinethatcanbe
causedbye.g.complexvalveinstallations,sensors,etc.Avoidhighsuctionlift.

Ifthesepointsarenotconsidered,cavitationmightoccurwhichcanresultinheavilyreduced
maximumachievableflowrate,strongpulsation,heavynoiseandpotentiallydamageofthe
pump!

2.Protectionfromhighpressure
Inordertoprotectthediaphragmfromhighpressureevents(e.g.accidentallyclosedvalves)westrongly
recommendinstallingeitherapressurereliefvalveorapressureswitchthatautomaticallyturnsofthemotor
incasethemaximumallowedpressurehasbeenreached.Considerthetechnicalspecificationfromthepump
forthemaximumallowedpressure.

3.Highinletpressure
Incaseofhighinletpressure(e.g.duetohighfillinglevelofthefeedingvessel)werecommendtoinstalla
pressurereducingvalveonthedischargesideofthepumpincaselowflowratesneedtobeachieved.Thisis
necessary,becausethefluidpaththroughthepumpisopeninflowdirection.

4.Flowdirections
Duetotheinternalcheckvalvesinsidethepumpliquidcannotflowbackwardsthroughthepump.Please
mindthisiftheinstallationneedstobeemptiedthroughthepump.


Product connections

SuctionanddischargeconnectionsofsizesQT10andQT20are
mountedoppositeatthepumpchamber.Anarrowonthepump
chambershowstheflowdirection(seefigure),sothatthesuctionand
pressuresidecanbeclearlyidentified.

ThesizeQT30hasbothportsonthefrontofthepumpchamberand
aremarkedwith"IN"and"OUT".

TheQT10andQT20pumpchamberscanberotatedin90°steps.Please
mindthattheclampringneedstoberotatedaswelltoaccesstheset
screw(seeinstallationinstructions).ForQT30werecommendthe

Pleasenotethatthepumpneedstobeproperlyprimedinordertoachieveastableflowandlowpulsation.A
minimumflowrateisrequiredforthepriming(completeremovalfromairinsidethepumpchamber).The
followingtableindicatestheminimumrequiredpumpspeedforwaterwith<0.5bardischargepressure.
Pleasenotethatthesevaluesmaydependontheinstallation.Thedurationoftheventprocessatagiven

TheQT30pumpunitismountedonastainlesssteelbaseplate.ThestandardversionofthepumpsizesQT10
andQT20mustbefixedbyusingsuitablescrewing.

QuattroTecpumpsare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.

Beforestart‐upofthepumpanyoneshouldacquaintoneselfwiththeexplanationsofthechapter
troubleshooting(seepage27).Onlybythisthedefectquicklycanbe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.

Beforeusingyourpumpinyourprocessperformatestruntogetusedtothespecific
propertiesofthepump.

Ifhoseswereusedinthesuctionline,makesurethattheydonotcollapseduetothenegative
pressure..

Wheninstallingthepumppleaseconsiderthataroundthepumpenoughspaceisavailablefor
operationandmaintenance.Payattentiontotherequiredspaceneededforassemblyand
disassemblyofthepumpchamber.

Duringstart‐uppayattentiontothewarningandsafetyinstructionsofthismanual.


CleaningCIP

Dependingontheproductsincontactwiththepumpandgivenrequirementsthecleaningprocedureneeds
tobeadaptedaccordingly.Itistheresponsibilityoftheusertoverifythecleaningefficiency.Safetyrulesand
safetymeasureslikeprotectiveglasses,glovesandprotectiveclothinghavetobefollowedandusedwhen
workingwithchemicalslikesodiumhydroxide(NaOH).

Asageneralrulewerecommendtocleanthepumpaccordingtothefollowingprocedure.
1.Prerinsethepumpwithpurewater,untilresidualamountsofproducthavebeenremoved.
2.Cleaningstepwith0.5MNaOH(ca.50°C)at80%ofthemaximumRPMforapproximately30min.Check
before,ifsurroundingconditions(e.g.pipediameter,systempressurerating)allowtooperatethepump
atthisspeed.
3.Finalrinsewithpurewater,untilneutralityhasbeenachieved(e.g.bymeasuringconductivityorpHofthe
rinsewater).

SteaminginplaceSIP

Forsteaminginplacethepumpchambersneedstobeinstalledonthepumpdrive.Duringthesteaming
process,thetemperatureinthepumpmustnotexceed125°C(257°F)andshouldnotlastlongerthan30
min.Thecoolingofthepumpchambershouldbeagainstair.DependingontheSIPconditionsitmaybe
necessarytoshortenthemaintenanceintervalsfortheelastomerssignificantly.Thetighteningtorquesofthe
frontboltsofthepumpchamberhavetobeverifiedaftereachSIPcycle.
