* All values refer to the theoretical volume flow. The actual volume flow is lower; it depends on the
operating conditions in each case.
** Valid only for short operation times. For continuous operation, please contact our service department
.
The service life of the lobes is reduced by high temperatures, especially in combination with high
pressure. Observe the material-specific differential pressure limits Notice.
*** Theoretical operating torque with max. differential pressure and water, designed for NBR elastomers.
ATTENTION
Speed reduction for highly viscous media
When using the pump for a highly viscous medium, the pump speed must be reduced according to the
material's viscosity, to prevent the intake flow from breaking off on the suction side (cavitation protection).
Material-specific differential pressure limits
With some materials, premature wear is likely if the pump pressure is too high. Observe the following
material-specific differential pressure limits.
FPM lobes: max. 6 bar
Steel or stainless steel lobes: Please consult our service department 
Maximum free passage: Ø 61 mm

3.2 InjectionSystem
InjectionSystem refers to a special type of pump housing segment for filling optimisation.
The InjectionSystem injects foreign matter directly into the delivery spaces in the pump chamber as they
open, conveying them on to the pump outlet (for improved foreign matter protection).
In addition, an InjectionSystem also improves the internal sealing of the pump.
Injection S(Symmetrical InjectionSystem)
The filling optimisation structure is located at the pump inlet and at the pump outlet. This allows flow in either
direction.
Injection S provides improved pump sealing (with more seal lines), thus allowing higher volumetric efficiency.
Injection A (Asymmetrical InjectionSystem)
The filling optimisation structure is located at the pump inlet only. Therefore, the direction of flow is set in
advance. A brief reverse operation is possible.
Injection A provides improved foreign matter protection with low-viscosity fluids and a high proportion of
foreign matter.

4.4 Intended use
The Vogelsang rotary lobe pump (hereafter referred to as "pump" or "machine") is a self-priming positive
displacement pump for pumping fluids ranging from water-like to highly viscous (hereafter referred to as
"medium").
The medium may be chemically neutral, acidic or alkaline. It may be loaded with solid particles and/or gas.
The pump is designed to pump the medium specified by the customer.
For a different medium or if the pump is not designed for a particular application, it has to be checked
whether the characteristics of the pump are suitable for the pump medium in terms of the material and fluid
group. In some cases the pump or the pump connectors must be reconfigured.
In addition to these specifications, the specifications in Chap. "Specifications" must be complied with as
well.
Any other use is contrary to the intended purpose. Vogelsang is not liable for any damage resulting from
incorrect use.
Foreseeable misuse:
The machine is NOT intended for the following uses:
•Potentially explosive atmospheres
•Operation subject to cavitation
•Use in the food industry without checking the specific hygiene requirements for the pump
4.5 General safety notes
WARNING
Risk of injury (catching, crushing, collision) due to rotating rotary lobes if the machine starts up
unexpectedly!
Before starting maintenance and repair work (opening covers, disassembling connectors) and before
troubleshooting, switch the machine off and secure it against being switched on again.
WARNING
Risk of injury from medium escaping under high pressure!
If the maximum differential pressure is exceeded, machine parts may burst and medium may spray out.
•The maximum differential pressure must not be exceeded Chap. "Specifications".
•Observe and implement the recommendations in Chap. "Installation in pipes".
•Protect the machine or system against overpressure. For example, the following monitoring devices
can be used:
A current limiter on the motor
A pressure relief valve
Cut-off with a pressure control switch
An overload coupling

Safety
18
WBV.PU.002.EN VX186Q V2.0
WARNING
Skin and eye irritation caused by contact with hazardous working materials or media!
All work on the machine can lead to contact with working materials or media.
•Personnel must wear suitable protective clothing.
•The operator must inform his or her staff about any potentially hazardous substances in working
materials or media.
CAUTION
Risk of burning due to exposed host surfaces!
If the medium temperature is greater than 60 °C or the pump experiences dry running, the pump housing,
the connectors or the pipes can become very hot.
At high speeds or high differential pressure, the gearbox housing can also become very hot.
•Avoid (accidental) contact with hot surfaces.
•Avoid dry running of the pump, e.g. by means of dry running protection via
Temperature monitor
Level measurement
Flow measurement
ATTENTION
Risk of frost!
To protect the pump against damage caused by frozen medium, drain it when there is a risk of frost.
•Drain the pump by running the pump in either direction (forward or reverse), until all liquid is drained
out of the pump. You can use drain cocks in the connectors to do this.
•For complete emptying of the pump chamber, remove the Q cover, Chapter "Opening the Q cover".
•Before start-up, refill with fluid.
4.6 Main switch, maintenance and repair switch
All-pole disconnection must be provided for the main switch and maintenance and repair switch.
4.6.1 EMERGENCY STOP shutdown (main switch)
For shutdown in the event of an emergency, an emergency stop must be present and freely accessible at all
times.
4.6.2 Maintenance and repair switch
To safely exclude the possibility of unexpected machine start-up, a maintenance and repair switch must be
installed in the immediate vicinity of the electric drive so that the electrical power can be safely isolated for
maintenance purposes.
The maintenance and repair switch must be secured in its OFF position to prevent it being switched back on
again, using a padlock for example.
WARNING
Qualified technical personnel must connect and check the safety devices on a regular basis for proper
function, especially after performing maintenance and repair work and before start-up.
