Preparation work before installation

Before installing the slurry pump, a series of preparatory work is required to ensure a smooth installation process and extend the service life of the equipment:

1. Cleaning work: Remove debris inside and outside the equipment to ensure a clean appearance and unobstructed pipelines.

2. Prepare the foundation: Ensure that the foundation is flat, has strong bearing capacity, is not easily deformed, and must be controlled according to requirements.

3. Size measurement: Confirm the required size and weight information of the equipment, ensure that the equipment selection meets the requirements, and can adapt to production requirements.

4. Environmental requirements: Pay attention to whether the environmental conditions are sufficient, including harsh environments, climate, temperature, and other factors, which need to be adjusted according to the actual situation.

Installation process

The specific process for installing the slurry pump is as follows:

1. Install the pump body: Determine the direction and horizontal line of the pump, find the center of the pump to form a road, then place the base and fix the pump base with screws.

2. Connect the inlet pipeline: Install the inlet pipeline, and keep the pump pipe inlet straight. The angle of the pipeline should not exceed 6 ° and must meet the standard diameter requirements.

3. Connect the outlet pipeline: Use flange connection to ensure safe and effective operation of the pump.

4. Install the motor: Thoroughly clean the housing and sliding parts, then lift the motor, insert it into the base and pump feet, then insert the motor shaft sleeve into the pump shaft, and finally tighten the bolts between the motor base and the base.

5. Install the transmission device: Determine the distance between the axis and other directions, adjust the position of the transmission shaft, and install it according to the recommended installation position.

6. Sealing and filling materials: Seal the pipeline and determine if there is any water leakage. Especially when installing the conveying pump, it is necessary to prevent slurry from entering the pump pipe and causing pipeline blockage.

7. Connect the power supply: Connect all installed devices to the power supply, and then perform debugging and inspection work.

Debugging phase

Debugging is a key step to ensure the normal operation of the slurry pump:

1. Manual testing: Before officially using the slurry pump, the equipment needs to be tested.

2. Start trial operation: After the testing work is completed, conduct a trial operation to test whether the pump can work normally in a short period of time.

3. Parameter adjustment: If abnormal conditions appear, it is necessary to check and adjust the corresponding parameters to confirm that the slurry pump can work normally. When adjusting parameters, it is necessary to make adjustments based on the actual situation before further testing work.

4. Routine maintenance: After equipment debugging is completed, routine maintenance is required, including weekly or monthly cleaning and inspection, to ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment.

precautions

During the installation and debugging process, the following points should also be noted:

1. Inspection before pipeline installation: Check the specifications, dimensions, and quality of the pipes and accessories, check whether the pressure bearing capacity of the pipes meets the requirements, and conduct a water pressure test if necessary.

2. Selection of pipeline diameter: Although a small pipeline diameter can reduce the purchase cost of the pipeline, it will increase the flow rate and cause significant resistance losses, which may also lead to cavitation of the slurry pump. Therefore, the selection of pipelines should comprehensively consider one-time purchase costs, long-term operating costs, and operational reliability.

3. Connection methods for pipelines: Common connection methods include flange connection, threaded connection, and socket pipe connection. Choosing the appropriate connection method can improve installation efficiency and safety.

4. Precautions for installation of inlet pipeline: There should be no air leakage at the pump inlet, no air storage in the inlet pipe, and the connection between the inlet pipe and the slurry pump inlet must be horizontal. The diameter of the slurry pump inlet pipe and the bottom valve should not be arbitrarily reduced, and should be the same as the slurry pump inlet diameter.

5. Precautions for installation of outlet pipe: The outlet pipe of the slurry pump should not be installed too high. For pumps with high head (≥ 20m), a check valve must be installed in the outlet pipe to prevent water hammer.

By using the above techniques, it is possible to effectively install and debug the slurry pump pipeline connection, ensuring that the slurry pump can operate efficiently and stably.
