ZJ/ZJP Series Roots Pump Operating Instruction
6. Operating instructions
6.1. Preparations before starting
①For water cooling type, make sure the
cooling water pipe is open.
②Check there have enough lubrication oil in
end cover A and end cover B, make sure the oil
should be reached to the oil level of oil mirror.
The oil cup of oil sealing should be filled full
usually and keep clean. New pump’s oil must be
changed after operating30 ~50 hours. After
then, the oil can be changed according to the
③If there have dust and other metal powder in
the exhausted gas, anti-dust or filler devices
should be installed in front of air inlet port. If
there have corrosive gas in exhausted gases,
some neutralizing measures should be adopted.
④Check there have no any loosening in
various parts .Motor’s rotational direction
should be in accordance with arrow direction on
②Open the gas inlet valve of this pump
③For water cooling type, open the water cooling
valve and start this pump.
④The pump should be in a stable operation and
the rotor without crash . Or should be stopped.
⑤There is no leakage in the oil –sealed position
⑥During the operating, if the temperature rise is
too high ,the reading of current meter is
suddenly changed, an abnormal noise or other
unusual phenomena appears ,the pump should
①Close gas inlet valve which on inlet port at
②Stop pump(and close the inlet valve )
④For water cooling type only, close the water
inlet valve of water cooling pipe.
⑤If the pump’s operation is stopped for a long
time or its operating in a cold zone, the cooling
water must be drained out completely.
Otherwise, the cooling water will be frozen and
make the pump’s castings in frost crack.
7. Maintenance & accessories
The safety information was given in the
following applies to all maintenance work.
Warning: Disconnect the electrical power before
disassembling the pump and venting to
atmospheric pressure. Make absolutely sure that
the pump cannot be accidentally started. If the
pump has been pumping harmful substances,
determine the nature of hazard and introduce
When drying or blowing out the pump with
compressed air, technician must observe and
obey all safety regulations.
Caution: All maintenance and cleaning work
described in this section must be only carried out
When handling the used oil pls observe the
relevant environment regulations.
Improper maintenance or repairs may affect the
service life and pump performance.
Warning: Before pumping oxygen or other highly
reactive gases at concentrations which exceeding
20% in the atmosphere will be necessary to
choose a special pump. Such a pump have to
modified and degreased as well as a special
lubricant oil . Bearings consume a little oil and the
gear under clean operating conditions. We
recommend you to change the oil after the first
500hrs operation to remove any wearing residue.
Then, under the normal operating conditions,
change pump oil after every 3000hrs operating.
Change oil much more frequently when pumping
corrosive vapors or large amount of dust or when
happing from the atmospheric pressure to working
Warning: Before removing the oil-drain/oil filling
screw, the pump should be stooped at first and
vent to atmosphere pressure( have no vacuum
When the pump has become warm during
operation, the casing and the oil temperature may
exceed 80 ℃,then should leave the pump to
Always wear protective gloves to protect yourself
against aggressive residues in the oil .
