Maintaining your FLUX Peripower pump is quick and simple. This kind of preventative maintenance minimises downtime and maximises performance. Following our earlier blog regarding the easy maintenance of the Peripower peristaltic pump, this guide provides detailed instructions for changing the hose – an essential procedure to keep your pump in peak condition.
A Step-by-Step Guide to Changing the Hose on the FLUX Peripower Pump
Step 1 Draining the Glycerine: Start by turning off the pump. Locate the outlet at the lowest point of the pump housing and carefully drain the glycerine. This crucial step prevents any spillage or leakage during the hose removal process.
Step 2 Removing the Housing Front: Next, detach the front cover of the pump housing. This step provides clear access to the internal components, making the hose replacement process more manageable.
Step 3 Opening the Hose Clips: Inside the housing, you will find hose clips securing the hose in place. Loosen these clips to release the hose, preparing it for removal.
Step 4 Removing the Hose: With the clips loosened, gently pull the hose out through the connection. Take care during this process to avoid damaging the pump or the hose.
Step 5 Preparing the New Hose: Before inserting the new hose, ensure it is properly aligned with the connecting piece. Proper alignment is essential for the correct functioning of the hose.
Step 6 Installing the New Hose: Manually rotate the motor to guide the new hose through the pump. Proceed slowly to ensure the hose fits securely without exerting unnecessary pressure on the pump.
Step 7 Securing the Housing Front: After the hose is in place, reattach and secure the front cover of the housing. This step is vital to avoid leaks and ensure the pump operates smoothly.
Step 8 Refilling the Housing with Glycerine: Finally, refill the pump housing with glycerine, ensuring it reaches halfway up the housing. Proper glycerine levels are key to maintaining lubrication and pressure, ensuring the pump operates efficiently.
By following these straightforward steps, you can ensure that your pump remains in top condition, ready to meet the demands of your operations.
Enhance Your Peripower Pump with These Advanced Options
To further optimise the performance and versatility of your Peripower pump, consider incorporating these available options:
Pulsation Damper for Consistent Flow: The pulsation damper ensures an even flow rate and effectively reduces peaks in pressure. By minimising pulsations, it extends the service life of pump components and enhances metering accuracy across various industrial applications.
Hose Rupture Sensor for Enhanced Safety: The hose rupture sensor provides immediate detection of a damaged hose, allowing the pump to shut down automatically. This feature significantly improves system safety and prevents any medium from escaping into the environment.
Frequency Converter for Precise Control: Integrating a frequency converter with your peristaltic pump allows for precise control of the pump’s output. By adjusting the motor speed, the delivery quantity and pressure can be finely tuned, making it adaptable to different requirements and operating conditions.
Control Unit for Efficient Pump Management: A dedicated control unit enables efficient and reliable control directly on the pump, optimising your operating processes and enhancing overall system efficiency.
FHP-100 Version with Vacuum Pump for Increased Suction Height: For applications requiring a greater suction height of up to 9 mwc, the FHP-100 version with a vacuum pump is an excellent choice. By creating a vacuum in the housing, this option increases the suction capability from 5 to 9 mwc.
FHP-100 Version with Enhanced Motor Power for Higher Pressure: To achieve a maximum pressure of up to 10 bar, consider the FHP-100 version with a reinforced gearbox and greater motor power. This option is ideal for demanding applications that require increased performance.
By changing the hose and performing regular maintenance, you can ensure that your Peripower pump remains in top condition, extending its lifespan and enhancing the efficiency of your equipment.
