1. General The word

The Multitec pump has been developed in accordance with state-

of-the-art technology; it is manufactured with utmost care and
subject to continuous quality control. is used to introduce safety instructions whose nonobservance
may lead to damage to the machine and its functions.
These operating instructions are intended to facilitate operation
of the pump and help in commissioning and maintenance. Instructions attached directly to the machine, e.g.

assembled and aligned on a common baseplate. As the thermal expansion in height of pump and motor may differ,
this has to be considered when aligning the coupling of pump
units handling temperatures of 1000C and higher. To estimate
the increase in height, the following equation can serve as a guide
to calculate by how much the motor has to be elevated in
relationship to the pump :

H [mm] = 1/100000 * (Tp * Hp - Tm * Hm)

Tp = Temperature difference pump - environment (0C)

Hp = Height of pump axis [mm]
Tm = Temperature difference motor - environment (0C)
Hm = Height of motor axis [mm]
In any case, also when using this correction, the
coupling has to be re-aligned when the unit is in

and straight-edge
Close-coupled pumps and vertical pumps
Alignment between the motor and the pump is ensured by the
centering effect between the motor flange and the drive lantern
flange. It must be easy to rotate the shaft.
For the Multitec V32-65, the dimensions for the
setting of the coupling alignment have to be
considered during assembly (see page no. 31).
Final check
Re-check the alignment as described in the sections above. It
must be easy to rotate the shaft by hand at the coupling. Check
the integrity and proper functioning of all connections.

5.4.1 Vacuum Balance Line Y starting (high voltage)

Where liquid has to be pumped out of a vessel under vacuum, it
is advisable to install a vacuum balance line. This is should have
a nominal size of at least 25 mm and must be arranged to lead
into the vessel at a point above the highest permissible liquid
level.
An additional pipeline fitted with a shut-off valve - from the pump
discharge nozzle to the balance line - facilitates venting of the
pump before start-up.

The pump shall be reassembled in accordance with
the rules of sound engineering practice :
- Under no Circumstances use force.

supported during reassembly.
540.3 Intermediate bearing-bush

components must be coated with a mounting aid in compliance
171.5 Intermediate bearing-diffuser
with hygienic health and safety regulations.
230.2 Intermediate bearing-impeller
- The properties of new pump components must not be altered
without prior consultation with our technical departments.
- The parts must be clean and free from shavings or dust.
- Reassembly is effected in reverse order to dismantling.
- The tightening torques indicated must be complied with. Avoid
the use of mounting aids as far as possible. Should amounting
aid be required after all, use a commercially available contact
adhesive, e.g. Pattex, HYLOMAR or Epple 33, after prior
consultation with our technical departments. The adhesive
must only be applied at selected points and in thin layers. Do
not use cyano-acrylate adhesives (quick-setting adhesives).
