Safety
The progressive cavity pump with corresponding motor was manufactured in accordance
with generally recognised rules of technology. Nevertheless, there is a risk of personal injury
and damage to property if the safety instructions in these operating instructions are not ob-
served.
The progressive cavity pump with corresponding motor must always only be used in a techni-
cally perfect condition and in accordance with its intended use, in a safety-conscious and
hazard-conscious manner and in compliance with the operating instructions.
2.1

Intended use

The progressive cavity pump is a complete machine in the sense of the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC.
In the following, the progressive cavity pump without mounted motor is referred to as pro-
gressive cavity pump. Assembly between the progressive cavity pump and the motor is re-
ferred to as the machine. The progressive cavity pump may only be used in commercial, in-
dustrial applications. The progressive cavity pump is technical operating equipment and is
not intended for private use.
Progressive cavity pumps are positive displacement pumps. Depending on the version, they
are used for pumping low-viscosity to high-viscosity media. They can be used for food and
pharmaceutical, cosmetic and chemical products as well as for mineral oil products. Depend-
ing on the substance to be pumped and the required performance level, different materials
and motors are used.
Each progressive cavity pump can be operated with different motors. The motors available
are electric commutator motors, brushless motors, asynchronous motors and air motors. In
potentially explosive atmospheres, the used progressive cavity pumps and motors have been
tested and approved in accordance with the ATEX directive.
In the EU, progressive cavity pumps and accessories used for pumping foodstuffs comply
with the general requirements of Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 of 27 October 2004 on ma-
terials and articles intended to come into contact with food.
In other countries, the national regulations must be observed. In the USA, the used progres-
sive cavity pumps (and accessories) are FDA-compliant (CFR 21 Part - Food and Drugs) or
have 3-A approval.
Depending on the version, the progressive cavity pumps can be used as mobile equipment
or installed in systems. For stationary use, the progressive cavity pump must be monitored at
all times.
The values and performance limits specified in chapter 3 Technical data must be observed.
Intended use also includes having fully read and understood these operating instructions and
in particular chapter 2 Safety.
