A safe and secure working environment in the food and drink industry

  • 1. Make sure that the station is connected to an electrical supply

     

    2. Make sure that the LED at the front of the pump is blinking Green

     

    3. Make sure that the Ball valves are opened

     

  • 1. Make sure that the maximum of simultaneous users is not exceeded

     

    2. Make sure that everyone is using the correct rinsing nozzles

     

    3. Make sure that the ball valves are fully opened

     

    4. Check that the resulting setpoint on the display is showing the correct value

     

    5. Make sure that the Operation handle is in the right position

  • Cause Solution

    No or not sufficient compressed air to the system

    Open the air inlet to the system

    The cleaning agent is not a foam product

    change to a foam product

    Wrong Nozzle is used

    change to the foam nozzle

    Air pressure is too low

    Adjust the air pressure on the air regulator
  • Cause

    Solution

    Chemical product is mixed with water

    Exchange the chemical container

    The used cleaning agent is not a foam product

    Change to a foam product

    The injector system is blocked

    Clean the injector system

    The limiting nozzle is blocked Change the limiting nozzle

Most Common Pump Failures

  • The water inlet pressure has dropped below 0.6 bar for more than 3 seconds.

  • The water temperature has exceeded 70°C.

  • The pump is blocked or one of the electrical phases has a loose connection.
    Check the electrical connection/plug.

  • Bad connection between motor and frequency converter.

  • The pump is missing an electrical phase. Check the power supply.

  • Signal is outside range, the outlet/inlet pressure sensor has stopped working.

     

    Analog 1 = Outlet pressure sensor

  • Signal is outside range, the outlet/inlet pressure sensor has stopped working.

     

    Analog 2 = Inlet pressure sensor

Repair Guide - The Satellite does not Foam

Control the following:

• Is the Satellite in the Foam Position and is the correct nozzle mounted? (Nozzle with white protection)


• Is the chemical a Foam product?


• Is the Air pressure between 3-6 Bar?


• Is the water pressure to the Satellite at least 10bar?


• Is the Hose length below 30 meters, and at least ½”? A hose length above 30 meter can reduce the Foam quality.

 

 

 

 

 

If all the above has been checked but the Satellite still does not Foam control the following:

 


• Check the Chemical suction hose for cracks


• Control the Check valve for the chemical


- Remove the check valve and make sure that the small ball inside can move freely.
o This can be done with a piece of welding wire by pushing it into the check valve from below. Or by taking the check valve apart.

 

If the Satellite still does not Foam the Injector must be controlled.

• Close the water inlet valve


• Take off the handle on the front and loosen the 4 screws holding the cabinet.


• Close the Air valve inside the Satellite


• Take off the air hoses so the Block can be removedfrom the cabinet.


• Loosen the union between the Block andthe water Inlet.


• Loosen the two screws underneath the Satellite


• Take the whole block out of the Cabinet


• Open the Block from the side where the Water in
and outlet is mounted.


• Take out the Injectors and make sure that they are not blocked by any chemical remains etc.


• Re-assamble the block and mount the block back into the Satellite.

 


If the Satellite still does not Foam contact a service technician.

Frequency Converter

New Frequency Converter

A frequency converter, or variable frequency drive, is an electrical device that changes the electrical frequency to control pump speed. This allows precise adjustment of flow and pressure to suit system requirements. While the frequency is adjusted to control speed, the voltage usually remains the same before and after the conversion. Using a variable speed drive with pumps improves energy efficiency, extends equipment life and reduces wear by matching pump output to actual demand.

Improved connectivity = easy access to key settings via a new mobile app, no dongle or extra parts required.

 

Improved security = display and mobile app access are locked with a customisable pin code.

 

CIM card included as standard = Allows the pump to be easily connected to Ethernet without the need to purchase additional components.

 

New labelling = More intuitive labelling of the terminals in the drive.
