1 DESCRIPTION

Progressive cavity pumps, also known as single screw pumps, are machines with a single rotating shaft assembly consisting
of a steel helical rotor (5) (also available in different materials and with different surface coatings) installed in a vulcanised
rubber stator (4), made from different rubber compounds for use with viscous, high density and abrasive liquids and with
liquids containing material in suspension.

The main functional components of a progressive cavity pump are the rotor and the stator.
The rotor (5) is a circular cross section single-start screw with a very large pitch. The stator (4), which is normally made from
rubber, is vulcanised inside a steel pipe. The stator has a hollow core in the shape of a two (or three) start screw, with the
same circular cross section as the rotor and double the pitch of the rotor.
The rotor rotates within the stator in a hypocycloidal motion, during which the cavities between the rotor and the stator move
in a helical motion, transporting the fluid trapped within from the suction end to the delivery end. The mechanism is illustrated
schematically in the following picture, which shows the longitudinal profiles of the rotor and the stator and the significant cross
sections for a given instant in their relative motion.
Inverting the direction of rotation swaps the suction and delivery ends.

 2 APPLICATIONS
Progressive cavity pumps are predominantly used for pumping viscous (up to 800,000 centiPoise), delicate and abrasive
products and liquids containing solid particulate in suspension. They are primarily used in the foodstuff and beverage,
pharmaceutical, chemical, textile and ceramics industries and in water purification and treatment plants.
Progressive cavity pumps are self priming: these pumps are capable of aspirating a column of water approximately 7 metres
high in standard operating conditions. The elastomer used determines the maximum temperature of the fluid pumped and
the fluid itself is transported in constant, uniform quantities and without pulsing phenomena, meaning that it is not subjected
to centrifuging or mistreatment and therefore maintains its quality and organoleptic characteristics intact.

N.B. Please consult the technical specifications sheet defined with the order for the correct applications for your
pump.

2.1 CRITERIA FOR CHOOSING A PUMP

A diagram is used in which the operating conditions, determined by the sliding speed between the rotor and stator (in m/s),
and the characteristics (abrasiveness and viscosity) of the fluid, must be entered. Once the theoretical flow rate (in m/h)
has been defined, the rotational speed (in rpm) and size of the pump may be determined from the line corresponding to the
type of fluid used. For each type of pump, defined by size and number of stages, there are characteristic curves determined
by the differential pressure between the delivery and suction ends, which may be used to derive the rotational speed and
power absorption from the flow rate. This power value is with reference to operation with clean water at 20 C (see diagram
pict 1).
The number of stages chosen depends on the maximum permissible pressure per stage in relation to the abrasiveness of
the product, quantified by the values given in the following table:

Abrasiveness of the product

Nil Low Medium High
Maximum admissible pres-
6 4,5 3 2
sure for stage (bar)
When aspirating from low pressure, a 2 stage pump must always be used, while inverting the direction of rotation of the rotor
causes the pump to aspirate from the delivery end, offering improved suction and avoiding tightness problems associated
with low pressures.

3 SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING When the pump is working the following occurs:

- Electric parts are in tension.
- Mechanical parts are moving.
- Pump body, pipelines and articulations are under internal pressure. Therefore do not remove any protection or locking, do
not loosen screws or clampings, as this can cause serious damages to persons or objects.
- Non-observance of inspection and maintenance can cause damages to persons and objects, especially when dangerous
or toxic liquids are pumped.
- When pumping liquids at a temperature over 60 C, adequate protection and warning signals are required.
- When you buy a pump with bare shaft, motor coupling operations have to be carried out according to technical directions
and law, providing adequate protections for joints, gear belts, etc.
- Operations on the electric parts have to be carried out by skilled personnel, according to technical directions and law, on
authorisation of the responsible installer.
- Installation must ensure an adequate ventilation, in order to cool the engine, as well as enough space for maintenance
operations.
Before carrying out any operation which requires to disassemble the pump (inspection, cleaning, seal replacement, etc.), the
following preliminary operations have to be carried out:
- switch off engine tension and disinsert electric connection;
- close valves on suction and outlet pipelines, in order to avoid the risk of inundation;
- use adequate protections for hands and face, if the pump contains liquids which are injurious to health (for example acids,
solvents, etc.);
- consider if the liquid which flows out of the pump when disassembling is dangerous and arrange for adequate safety
measures.
Only suitably qualified personnel must carry out inspection, maintenance and assembly work.

3.1 GUARANTEE

All products manufactured by C.S.F. Inox are guaranteed to the purchaser, for one year from the date of purchase,
against hidden defects in materials or manufacture, providing that they are installed and used according to instructions
and recommendations of the manufacturer. Excluded from the guarantee other than distinctive wear and tear are
repaires to damage caused by improper use, abrasion, corrosion, negligence, defect of installation, non-observance
of inspection and maintenance, use of non-genuine spare parts, cause of accident or fortuity and from any action
carried out by the purchaser not according to the normal instructions of the manufacturer.
WARNING Before returning to C.S.F. Inox S.p.A. any item to be substituted or repaired under guarantee, inform
about the problem the Customer Assistance Office and follow instructions of the manufacturer.
Any item must be properly packed in order to avoid damages during the transfering and a technical report explaining
the fault occured, must accompany the returned item/s.
Any item with a presumed fault should be returned to C.S.F. Inox S.p.A. with shipment costs at purchaser's charge,
unless different agreements are given.
C.S.F. Inox S.p.A. will examine, repair and/or replace the returned piece and then send it back to the purchaser on
ex-works basis. Should the piece be found under warranty, no further costs will be debit the purchaser. If, on the
contrary, the fault is not found under warranty, all necessary reparations and replacements will be charged at normal
cost to the purchaser. Commercial parts incorporated in C.S.F. products are guaranteed by their corresponding
manufacturers.

3.2 NON PERMITTED USES

The pump has to be installed in an environment adequate to the engine safety level; you can check the safety lavel on the
engine plate before installation.
THEREFORE IT IS FORBIDDEN TO USE THE PUMP IN ENVIRONMENTS REQUIRING A HIGHER SAFETY LEVEL OF
THE MOTOR AND OF THE ELECTRIC COMPONENTS.
In this case use only components which conform to safety measures according to the environment.

4 GOODS TRANSPORTATION, RECEIVING AND TRANSFERRING

4.1 TRANSPORTATION

The packings of all pumps manufactured by C.S.F. Inox S.p.A. are defined when placing the order. Unless prior
arrangements are given, goods will be packed only for transit conditions and not for long-term storage; in case it
should be necessary to store the pumps outside, you are requested to cover the pumps appropriately in order to
protect the electrical parts (motor) from rain, dust, humidity etc.

4.2 RECEIVING

By goods receiving, the wholeness of packing must be verified, in order to identify possible damages to the content
occured during transfering and to claim them immediately to the carrier. Should any damage be ascertained, the
following procedure must be observed:
- collect the goods with reservation;
- take the necessary pictures showing the damages;
- notify the suffered damages, by registered airmail, to the carrier by sending at the same time the pictures taken
to show the damaged pieces.

pag. 5
 4.3 TRANSFERRING

Carry the packed pumps as close as possible to the

place of installation by means of appropriate lifting
devices and unpack them. During this operation take
care, as unsteady parts could fall down.
The material used for packing (wood, paper, cello-
phane, etc.) should be properly got rid, according
to the corresponding rules in force in receiver s
country.
After unpacking the pump, use special lifting belts and
move the pump-motor-set to the place of installation;
never use the eyebolts on the motor to move the pump,
as the eyebolts are for moving the motor only.
In versions complete with shroud, take the shroud off
before moving the pump-motor-set, in order to avoid
damages.

5 MOTOR INSTALLATION

5.2 MOTOR ASSEMBLY

When mating the motor to the pump, spread anti-seize grease over the projecting portion of the motor shaft, then
insert the motor shaft into the pump drive shaft (17), correctly aligning the hole in the pin (16).
Fasten the motor (301-302) to the lantern flange (50) with the bolts, then fit the pin (16) and the retainer circlip
(10).
Failing to align the hole in the drive pin correctly will offset the internal pump shaft assembly and may cause it come
into contact with the structure, causing damage to the pump or compromising pump function. Fasten the guards
(95), tightening the screws (96) onto the lantern flange (50).

REMOVING THE MOTOR

Work in a clean area away from sources of dust,

swarf etc. Ensure that the pump cannot move during
disassembly.
Undo the screws (96) and remove the guards (95).
Use suitable needle-nosed pliers to remove the retai-
ner circlips (15) and use a pin punch to remove the
drive pin (16). Undo the bolts on the lantern flanges
(50) then ease out the motor (301-302).
Do not tilt the motor: the motor must be removed in
a perfectly horizontal motion to prevent damaging the
mechanical seal on the drive shaft (17).

N.B. When separating the motor from the pump,

the pump must be supported with hoisting straps
to prevent damage.

5.3 "N" VERSION

With dual bed mountings and greased

bearings.
40, 50, 60, 65, 70, 80 and 90 sized models
are sealed and lifetime lubricated.
100, 110, 115, 125, 130, 140, 150, 151,
160 and 200 sized models are equipped
with lubricating nipples for periodically
topping up the lubricant.
As with the "E" version, the shaft assembly
is telescopic for rapid disassembly.
Using a suitable mounting base and
flexible coupling, these pumps may
be mated to any type of motor system
(see page 18 - progressive cavity pump
catalogue).

pag. 7
 5.4 MOTOR TRANSMISSION COUPLINGS

Drive for independently mounted progressive cavity pumps is transmitted via flexible couplings designed to absorb impact
and torsional vibration.
These couplings compensate for both angular and radial misalignment and can sustain variations in load and rotation
inversion.
The couplings are sized in compliance with DIN 740/2 standards.
A coupling is sized so that the maximum moment transmitted by the coupling in different operating conditions is
less than the maximum permissible strain for the coupling itself.
Transmission couplings with ATEX marking are available for machines for use in potentially explosive environments.
Pumps supplied complete with motor and base are delivered already aligned during assembly. The baseplate may be warped,
however, if fixed to an uneven surface.
Perfect alignment between the pump and motor is essential for correct operation.
As a result, after installation, we recommend checking pump-motor alignment once again, using the values given in the
following table as reference.

P225 5 0,4 1 22-37 2500

6 PIPING

1 - If the pump is installed with a negative head, to prevent the pump from running dry, include a siphon in the pipe with a
section of pipe raised above the level of the pump. This ensures that there is always enough product in the pump to prime
it at the subsequent start. A tap must be included at the highest point in the siphon to fill the pump before first usage or after
the pump has been emptied.
If there is a possibility of the suction intake of the pump emptying, at each start, the vertical section of pipe must contain a
volume of product at least equal to the volume of air that must be expelled from the suction intake (or at least 10% more if
the pump aspirates from the suction intake).

pag. 8
 2 - To prevent harmful stress, the suction and delivery pipes must be connected to the pump inlet and outlets without forcing.
These pipes must be replaceable independently without subjecting the pump to any strain.

3 - The internal diameter of the pipes must match the diameter of the pump connectors. The pipe diameter must not be less
than the connector diameter as this would cause an increase in head loss and reduced machine performance.

4 - With very long pipes, install a valve at the pump inlet and outlet to permit pump inspection without having to drain the
entire system.

5 - Reduce the number of bends and constrictions in the system as much as possible.

6 - Check the seal tightness of the suction pipe unions to prevent loss of suction capacity.

7 - When pumping fluids at high temperatures, flexible expansion joints must be included to prevent strain caused by thermal
expansion.
- Installing manometers on the piping and as close to the pump as possible is recommended in order to monitor the operating
conditions of the pump.

8 - Installing a filter at the pump suction intake is recommended to prevent foreign bodies from entering the pump.

9 - The suction pipe should be as short as possible and should rise slightly toward the pump. Using eccentric reduction
adaptors is recommended to prevent the formation of air pockets.

7 STARTING

7.1 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The connection to the electric system has to be carried out after the hydraulic connection; the motor drive system must be
carried out according to technical directions and law (EN 60204-1). In particular a manual power supply disconnecting device
with an adequate current breaking power must be installed; further install an overload and overcurrent protection (for examble
cut-outs, automatic switches, etc.) and in case provide for a proper device to avoid spontaneous restarting.
Check that voltage, network frequency and number of phases conform to the technical features shown on the
electric motor. The safety level of all components used for electric connection (cables, cable presses, switches and
protections) must conform to the environment where the unit is installed; further it is important to use electric cables of
suitable section corresponding to the current values indicated on the motor plate, in order to avoid the overheating of the
electrical conductors.
First carry out the motor grounding, using the clamp on the motor and an electric conductor of suitable section.

pag. 9
 The cable connection to the terminal box can both be star or delta connection, according to the values indicated on
the motor plate and to the network voltage shown below in Pict. 2; the clamps must be clean and carefully tightened;
do not force the clamps.

Lower Higher
voltage voltage

Pict. 2

When starting the motor, current absorption raises (5-6 times the nominal value) for a very short period; if the network can
not bear this absorption increase, we advise to use star or delta starters or other systems (for example auto-transformer).
C.S.F. Inox S.p.A. is not liable for damages to persons and/or objects in case of non-observance of technical directions and
laws.

7.2 PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS

- Check the direction of rotation indicated on the pump.

- Suction pipeline and pump must be filled with liquid; it is possible to distinguish two cases:
a) When the pump must work with a negative suction height, fill the pump by filling liquid in its pipelines.
b) When the pump must work with a positive charge, open suction and outlet valves until the manometer on the outlet side
of the pump indicates a pressure corresponding to the positive suction charge.
The pump must never run dry; only few seconds of dry working are enough to damage the stator.
- If the seal box is externally cooled, open the cooling water feeder and adjust the water circulation.
- Check that suction and outlet valves are completely opened.
The progressive cavity pump is a volumetric pump and, as a result, must never run with a closed valve on the de-
livery pipe.
The single screw progressive cavity pump is a volumetric pump capable of producing theoretically infinite pressure. If the
delivery pipe is closed, the pressure generated by the pump may exceed the maximum pressure limits for the system.
Installing adequate safety devices such as pressure switches and bypasses is recommended.
- Start the pump and check the direction of rotation again.

7.3 OPERATION

Progressive cavity pumps do not create themselves the pressure to be transferred to the fluid, but transport the fluid from the
suction end to the delivery end. Depending on the pump model, pressures of up to 24 bar may be attained. The maximum
pressure per stage is influenced by the abrasiveness of the product handled. The greater the abrasiveness, the lower the
maximum permissible pressure.
The following table (Pict.3) indicates the maximum permissible pressure for the pump.

8 SEALS

Progressive cavity pumps may be fitted with packing gland seals and mechanical seals. The type of seal or packing and
the material used are determined by the product pumped.

8.1 MECHANICAL SEALS

A mechanical seal is a device intended to retain fluid and prevent it from escaping from the pump.
The seal consists of two sliding surfaces, with one rotating relative to the other, held in axial contact by the pressure generated
by the fluid (hydraulic force) and by components such as springs or bellows (mechanical force).
Mechanical seals are generally cooled by the fluid itself. The materials used are selected in relation to the characteristics of
the fluid used, the operating conditions in which the seal is installed and the performance required. Seals installed on pro-
gressive cavity pumps may either permit only one direction of rotation or be reversible: the direction of rotation of the pump
is always indicated by an arrow.
WARNING Before using the pump with products which are not mentioned in your order, check that the seal type
suits the new product to be pumped.
Different types of seal are available with progressive cavity pumps:

EXEC. "T"

- Type "T" reversible internal mechanical seal.

The seal is installed on the interior of the suction chamber and immer-
sed in the product for better cooling and increased durability of the seal
itself.

EXEC. "Y"

- Type "Y" reversible external mechanical seal.

This mechanical seal is installed outside the suction chamber. This seal
type is used where flushing is not possible or where the seal must not
come into contact with the pumped product due to sanitary, corrosion or
abrasion problems.

EXEC. "U" - "Y1"

- Type "U" reversible external mechanical seal.

This type consists of an axial mechanical seal plus a radial seal that
works against a bushing with a ceramic coating.

- Type "Y1" external mechanical seal.

This type, designed for less severe applications, consists of an axial

mechanical seal plus a flanged ring that works against a stainless steel
bushing.

These two types use a flow of flushing fluid to clean, lubricate and cool
the seal. These seals are used with products that tend to crystallise, gum
and harden, resulting in highly abrasive characteristics.

pag. 11
 8.2 PACKING GLAND SEAL

A packing gland seal is meant to limit the leaks of the pumped product, but
not to prevent them completely. A slight leakage is necessary, in order to
avoid excessive friction and, consequently, the over-heating of the parts in
contact. By starting the pump, the packing gland has to be slightly tighte-
ned. At the beginning, let drip some 30 -50 drops/min. (depending on the
pumped producted), until the packing gland has adjusted and conformed
to the existing temperature conditions (approximately 10-15 min.). Then
tighten the packing gland moderately and evenly until you get a min. leaking.
This leakage will depend on product, pressure, pump rotation speed and
temperature. Min. leakage is approximately 10-20 drops/min. The packing
gland seal works properly if lubricated by the pumped product. An excessive
compression of the packing gland inhibits such lubrication and causes the
following consequences: dry working, packing gland burnt out, shaft highly
scored with consequent product loss.

- Externally cooled packing gland seal: a cooling flushing fluid is circulated

in the gland chamber to limit temperature increases.

-pump not turning because:
A) it does not start
B) it gets locked
C) the magneto-thermic switch releases
- pump turning but:
D) it does not self prime
E) delivery is inadequate
F) flow is not uniform
G) pump is noisy
H) stator gets worn out too quicly
I) rotor gets worn out too quickly
L) shaft seal leaks
M) outlet pressure is poor.

Possible causes and necessary operations to remove them:

1) The pump being new, there is too much friction or the rotor gets stuck on the stator.
- Fill the pump, if necessary with lubricating liquid, and make it turn manually by means of a suitable tool.
2) Outlet pressure is too high.
- Check pressure by means of a manometer and compare it with the features mentioned in your order.
- Check that there are no obstructions along outlet pipelines.
3) The stator got swollen and it does not withstand the product to be pumped.
- Check if the pumped product corresponds to the one mentioned in your order. Change stator material.
4) The product to be pumped contains too big solid particles.
-Increase liquid percentage. Reduce dimension of solid particles. Install a bigger pump.
5) Inlet pipeline is obstructed.
- Remove the obstruction and take measures to avoid the formation of other obstructions.
6) O-rings of mechanical seal are damaged.
- Change O-rings. Check compatibility of O-rings material with the product to be pumped. In case, change O-rings mate-
rial.
7) Mechanical seal rings have seized.
- Change rings. Check technical features mentioned in your order. In case, use rings made of a material, which is more
suitable to the product to be pumped.
8) Direction of rotation is wrong.
- Change electric connection.
9) Gland seal does not fit to the product to be pumped.
-Change packing gland seal with a different type.
10) Packing gland seal compression is badly adjusted.
- Adjust compression: in case change packing gland seal.
11) Pump is turning too fast.
- Reduce revolution number. In case you want to get the same delivery, use a bigger pump.
12) Product to be pumped is too viscous.
- Increase temperature, avoiding inlet cavitation.
13) Product to be pumped is too heavy.
- Dilute it by means of a lighter fluid or use a more powerful motor.
14) Articulated joints are worn out.

 10 WASHING CYCLE FOR PUMPS USED TO HANDLE FOODSTUFF PRODUCTS

WARNING Pumps intended for handling foodstuff products must be thoroughly cleaned before commissioning. A CIP (cleaning
in place) procedure is carried out to clean the pump.
CIP PROCEDURE
1) Wash with clean water to empty the pump of any product
2) Basic wash with 1 to 2% solution of caustic soda at 60 to 80C for approximately 10 to 20 minutes
3) Intermediate wash with clean water for 5 to 10 minutes
4) Wash with 1 to 1.5% solution of nitric acid at 50 to 70C for 5 to 10 minutes
5) Final wash with clean water for approximately 10 minutes
NB: The flow rate of the cleaning fluids used must not be less than 1.5 m/sec.
During the CIP cycle, the stator is subjected to significant chemical and thermal stress. As a result, the pump should be run
in short bursts (2 to 4 starts per minute lasting just 1 or 2 revolutions). This will clean the interior of the pump while limiting
mechanical stress.

11 MAINTENANCE
11.1 STATOR INSPECTION

WARNING The pump must be checked for wear after 700-1000 operating hours. The frequency of subsequent inspections
is determined in relation to the degree of wear noted however, the interval between inspections must not exceed 1500
operating hours.

11.2 DISASSEMBLING THE PUMP (Ref. MA series)

- Work in a clean area away from sources of dust,

swarf etc. Ensure that the pump cannot move
during disassembly.Remove the delivery outlet
(1) and the tie-rods (3), undoing the nuts (11).

Using a chain wrench, remove the stator

(4), turning anticlockwise;

remove the suction chamber (32).

Take care not to strain the shaft assembly
and damage the mechanical seal.

Undo the screws (96) and remove the

guards (95).
Use suitable needle-nosed pliers to re-
move the retainer circlips (10) and use
a pin punch to remove the drive pin (16).
Remove the entire shaft assembly [rotor
(5) connecting rod (29) drive shaft
(17)].

12 REASSEMBLY

After having carefully cleaned with detergent, check condition of the eccentric bushes (6) on the connecting rod (29). The
eccentric bush has not to be damaged or worn out. Then assemble a new rotor (5) complete with two pilot bushes (7) and
filled with proper grease (fill the grease in adequate quantity into the special hollow). First assemble the entrainment pin (8),
then cover it with the steel sleeve (9). To assemble the rubber sleeve (31) easiliy, it is advisable to soften it with warm water.
In this way you will be able to push it manually into the corresponding notches. Finally lock the two clamps (30) (it is advisable
to use the proper tool), then cut the exceeding part.

WARNING While locking the clamps, remember to pull them gradually and alternately, before giving the final pull.

WARNING When replacing the eccentric bushes on the connecting rod, pay attention to the following operations:
1- As they are hot assembled, it is necessary to heat the end of the spherical part, in order to make the expulsion of
the worn-out bush easier and to allow the introduction of the new one.
2- The bushes must be positioned with the eccentric part in axis with the connection rod (see picture) and perfectly
aligned with the spherical part.

The bushes must be positioned with the eccentric part in axis with the connection rod.
To reassemble the pump, follow the instructions given on previous paragraphs inversely.

13 LUBRICATION

C.S.F. Inox progressive cavity pumps are already equipped with the necessary lubricants to ensure correct working conditions
for 3000-4000 hours (2 years). You do not need to refill the lubricant in the articulated joints, but you will replace it while ser-
vicing or changing worn-out parts for maintenance. For the bearings assembled on the support (Version E excepted) there
are two lubricators to refill the grease every 4 or 5 months; pay attention not to overdo it. Otherwise replace grease while
servicing; before reassembling clean seats and bearings carefully.
Recommended lubricants for articulated joints:
Grease Mobil TEMP S.H.C. 100 or equivalent.
Vaseline grease or similar for pumps for food industry.

 15 ACCESSORIES

A range of optional accessories for controlling the pump is available for progressive cavity pumps:

15.1 AUTOMATIC By-pass

The by-pass is a device consisting of a spring valve (see Pict.4) mounted on a pipe connecting the
pump delivery outlet to the suction inlet. The by-pass may be used as a safety device, to prevent
overpressure from developing in the system, or as a pump flow rate regulator. The automatic by-
pass is manually adjusted with the safety valve, in which a spring provides the seal pressure.

The bypass is a unidirectional system. If the direction of rotation of the pump is inverted, the position
of the safety valve must also be inverted, as shown in the pictures.

Note: Upon request the bypass can be supplied with a manual valve instead of an automatic
one.

(Pict.4)

Different spring types may be fitted to the safety valve, depending on the operating pressure of the pump
(see table below).

15.2 FLOW SWITCH

The flow switch is normally used to control the flow of a fluid in a circuit, and sends an ON-OFF signal to an electrical panel
depending on whether or not flow is detected.
In progressive cavity pumps, the flow switch is installed on the pump suction inlet and is used to stop the pump if no product
is detected.

 15.3 TEMPERATURE PROBE

System made by a temperature probe, installed on the

pump stator and connected to a thermostat, with the
function to set the maximum permissible temperature
for correct pump operation. When the stator exceeds
the set temperature, the temperature probe transmits a
signal to the electrical panel to stop the pump.

 17 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING THE PUMPS WITH HOPPER AND SCREW MC-MCR-MC2R-MC2C

All pumps equipped with a hopper, pre-feeding screw and any rotary crushing devices, are classed as partly-completed machinery
under the 2006/42/EC directive; these pumps are to be incorporated into the system on the basis of the process requirements, and
thus they are not CE-marked.
These pumps cannot therefore be put into operation before the specific safety measures have been put in place for the process or
system into which they are incorporated, as specified in the following examples.
The pump hopper must be connected to the system as illustrated in pictures 1 and 2, in order to protect operators from the pump's
rotating parts (the screw and crushing blades).
If system operating requirements make it impossible to make the connection in the way shown in pictures 1 and 2, and the hopper
must be left open to allow the product to be pumped to fall freely, then the protective equipment must be installed with minimum
distances from the hazard as shown in pict. 3, in conformance with the EN ISO 13857 standard. This equipment must be designed
and built in accordance with EN 953.
