1.3.2 Construction
Suction and discharge casings, and stage casings
The body of the pump is composed of the suction and discharge casings as well as the stage casings. The stage
casings are tightened between the suction casings and discharge casings by means of external tie screws and
sealed with O-ring seals. The suction and discharge casings can be turned to three different positions.
Impeller
The impellers are closed impellers with one-side suction. All pumps with the exception of MBN25 have a specific
suction impeller in order to achieve a low NPSHr value. A keyless polygon joint is used between the impellers for
transmitting the torque.
Axial balancing
Axial balancing is carried out by means of a balancing drum located in the discharge casing. The remaining axial
force is received by the pair of angular ball bearings (antifriction bearing) located at the drive end. The balancing
drum also serves as the radial bearing of the free end. The balancing drum is composed of a fixed silicon carbide
sleeve installed in the steel body and of a rotating coated steel sleeve.
Antifriction bearing
The antifriction bearing is composed of a single pair of angular ball bearings installed in the X system. Inpro Seal™
labyrinth seals are used as the sealing of the bearing on both sides of the bearing housing. Oil or grease lubrication
can be chosen (MBN150 only oil lubrication). A sight glass and a constant level oiler are used in conjunction with oil
lubrication.
Stuffing box housing

Three different types of stuffing box housings are available. They are intended for Sulzer mechanical seals (single
and double), Sulzer dynamic seal, and gland packing. The stuffing box housing of the gland packing is dimensioned
in accordance with ISO 3069-S.
Baseplate
The baseplate is made of steel to be grouted in concrete at the installation site. The baseplate can be installed to
the foundation with welded or grouted foundation screws.

6 Head and flow requirements
CAUTION
Do not operate the pump below the minimum recommended flow or with the discharge valve closed.
Cavitation, recirculation or increased temperature can lead to a quick pump failure.
The pump is always designed according to the pumping values ( head, flow ) stated on the pump's nameplate
(971.01). Head and flow values that can be reached with the specific impeller diameter and speed of rotation are
given in the characteristic curve of the pump. The operating point on the curve can be changed by adjusting the
pumping system resistance e.g. by throttling the flow with the valve in the discharge piping. If the impeller diameter
or the rotational speed of the pump are changed the operating point will move totally to another head-flow curve.
CAUTION
Too low an NPSH-available value may damage the pump.
If the pump is used at other operating points for which it is designed,

the following items must always be considered:
● When the pump was selected for the original operating point, all factors affecting the mechanical durability
( e.g pressure and temperature limits ) and pump design ( pump and impeller type, shaft sealing,
lubrication etc.) were carefully considered. All these factors are to be checked also at the new operating
point.
● The pump may be used with the discharge valve closed only if the bypass piping has been installed
(minimum flow rate must be achieved). It is not recommended to operate the pump continuously at the
minimum flow rate.
● The suction properties of the system (NPSH available) and the power of the drive motor are always to be
checked at a new operating point.
● The efficiency of a pump is a relevant factor when estimating the pump's lifetime costs. Therefore its
influence on the power needed must be checked.
● The characteristic curve enclosed is always based on tests with clean water. Other types of pumped liquid
can change the head, flow or power values radically. These factors were considered when the pump was
originally selected and they must be considered also at the new operating point.
7 Sound level charts
Noise levels in accordance with the requirements of Machine Directive 98/37/EC are stated as two-digit notified
values for noise emission in accordance with standard EN ISO 4871.
The notified values apply to the pump when the pump conditions correspond to an operating location with a box-like
encasing as specified under item 6.2 of standard EN 12639 (suction and discharge pipes are acoustically insulated).
The notified values are in accordance with the power required at the maximum output of the pump (maximum power).
If the pump is run at a lower power (smaller power need), the noise values are slightly below the ones given here.
LpA = A-weighted maximum sound pressure level, dB re 20 uPa, at a distance of 1 m from the surface of the device
LWA = A-weighted sound power level, dB re 1 pW

8 Balancing
All impellers are balanced normally individually statically in accordance with ISO 1940 G 6.3, table 16. Upon order,
impellers for MBN50, MBN80, MBN100 and MBN150 can also be balanced dynamically in accordance with ISO
1940 G2.5. Impellers delivered from Sulzer's factory are always balanced in accordance with a speed of rotation of
3600 rpm.
An assembled shaft assembly is not balanced as a unit, because the deviation of the shaft when balancing it in the
air is different from the deviation of the shaft inside the enclosed pump under the influence of hydraulic axial forces
and radial forces.

1 Safety procedures before installation

All parts for the installation must be thoroughly cleaned before the installation. All traces of antirust agents should be
cleaned from the pump flanges, shaft assembly and drive elements. Avoid any damage to installed parts when
handling them.
WARNING
Careful planning expedites and facilitates installation. Ensure safe operating conditions and good
access to the equipment. Use personal protective equipment such as helmet, safety shoes and
gloves.
Suitable hoisting equipment must be available for installation and repair work.
WARNING
A pump should have adequate space for proper installation and maintenance actions.
Fig. 1 . . . . . . . Equipment used in explosive locations must conform to the requirements of "Ex" protection. Verify this in
documentation (and machine plates) relating to the equipment and auxiliary devices.
Fig. 1
2 Installation at the site

The installation site of the pump must be sufficiently sturdy to endure stress and potential forces caused by the
piping.
If there is reason to doubt that the base is not suitable for installation, it has to be reinforced by making a concrete
support stand or equivalent. Also note the bottom beams in the foundation or cavities for the different types of
foundation screws.
It is recommended that the baseplate of the pump be grouted with concrete in accordance with the below
instructions. Fasten the baseplate of the pump to the foundation using three (3) or seven (7) (in MBN150 eight (8))
foundation screws in accordance with Table 1.

3 Installation using welded foundation screws
WARNING
When welding the foundation screws, connect the earth clamp to the baseplate,
never to the pump!
Insert the bottom beams into the concrete foundation in advance according to the dimensional drawing of the pump.
The strength requirements for the bottom beams are given in table 2. In order to facilitate the alignment of the
beams, a so called concreting frame can be used. The recommended accuracy of installation of the beams is
±10 mm (0.39 in) in all directions. The actual installation becomes much easier, if the upper surfaces are horizontal.

During installation, BEWARE that your hands, fingers etc. are not crushed by heavy parts. Use
personal protective equipment.
1 Install the guard end (685.01) to the bearing end (330.01) with hexagonal screws (901.07).
2 Heat the pump side coupling flange to approx. +100ºC (+212ºF) and push it onto the pump shaft so that the
distance between the shaft ends is in accordance with the dimensional drawing (usually the face of the
coupling flange is flush with the shaft end). In conjunction with the installation of the coupling, familiarize
yourself with the coupling manufacturer's instructions so that the distance between the coupling halves is
right.
3 Lift the pump onto the baseplate and fasten the pump to the baseplate with the screws (901.06).
CAUTION
In pumping applications for hot liquids (T> +100ºC (+212ºF)), only use half of the normal tightening
torque of the mounting screws when mounting the free end of the pump to the baseplate. The
normal tightening torques are given in the table in instruction 3.26 G07 N05575 Product description /
Fastener information.

6 Grouting
Make a grouting mould around the pump so that the width and length of the mould are at least those given in table
4. Dimensions L1 and B1 for the baseplate are given in the dimensional drawing of the pump.
The height of the grouting must extend 5 - 8 mm (0.20 - 0.31 in) below the top surface of the beam so that the
space inside the beam is completely filled with concrete. Shape the outer edges of the grouting so that they are
slanting as shown in fig. 5. Pour the grouting concrete both into the mould and into the baseplate beam through the
hole in the beam. Water the grouting during setting to prevent cracking.
The recommended strength class of the concrete is appr. 35 MPa (284 psi) (design strength K 35).

WARNING
If there is a possibility of a dangerous return flow after shutdown of the pump, a nonreturn device
shall be assembled in the outlet piping.
The pipes must be installed and supported so that the forces, vibration and weight of the piping are not directed to
the pump. When planning the support locations remember the allowance for thermal expansion. Fig. 8.
CAUTION
Never use the pump as a support for the piping system.
Fit the pipe flanges accurately to the pump flanges. Flanges which have not been properly aligned must not be
forced to position. See figures 6 and 7.

7.2 Suction pit above the pump
Always make the suction pipe short to avoid pipe friction losses. Avoid points where gas pockets or turbulence may
be formed.
Check the tightness of the suction pipe with a pressure test. The suction pipe must descend gradually towards the
pump. Avoid horizontal suction pipes. See fig. 9.

Series 3.26 Page
Installation at the site January 2009 G08k
7.5 Auxiliary piping
WARNING
During operation, leakage of hazardous substances can occur - prepare proper means for a safe
waste removal.
To guarantee faultless shaft seal operation, it may be necessary to lead sealing, flushing or cooling liquid to the seal.
Design of the auxiliary piping depends on the construction of the shaft seal and sealing water equipment in question.
For the design and connection details for auxiliary piping, see the sectional drawings of shaft sealing and sealing
water equipment. Nominal sizes for connections are given in the Parts List.
The pressure rating of auxiliary piping has to be minimum 0.6 MPa (8.5 psi) but at least as high as the pressure on
the suction side. However the pressure rating of auxiliary piping for the shaft sealing must not be less than that of
the suction casing, see instruction 3.26 G07, N05575 Product description / Mechanical durability.
The temperature rating of auxiliary piping has to be at least the same as the temperature limit for the shaft sealing,
see the seal manufacturer's instructions.
Install flow regulating valves in the sealing liquid pipes. A rotameter or other flow meter as well as a pressure gauge
is also useful in many cases. A non-return valve can be used to prevent the pumped liquid from entering the sealing
liquid pipes. Often these devices are already included in the delivery of the sealing water equipment; check from the
Parts List and sectional drawing of the sealing water equipment.
7.6 Cleaning of piping

Before commissioning the pump assembly, all impurities and foreign objects must be flushed away carefully from
the inlet tank and piping. If the piping has been welded, welding slag and similar impurities must be removed.
7.7 Suction side screen

In order to prevent impurities from entering the pump, we recommend the installation of a stainless steel suction
side screen in the inlet piping. The screen can be composed of a screen frame (plate with round holes 5 - 8 mm (0.2
- 0.32 in.)), to which a metal sieve (wire mesh 0.315 x 0.2 mm (0.0125 x 0.008 in.)) is mounted by welding. The
effective passing area of the screen must be at least 1.5 - 2 times the diameter of the pipe.

0.315 mm ø0.2 mm
(0.015 in) (ø0.008 in)
Fig. 12

Series 3.26 Page
Installation at the site January 2009 G08l
Check the pressure reduction caused by the screen by using a differential pressure gauge. If the suction pressure of
the pump is reduced, remove the screen and clean it.
CAUTION
If the pressure difference is 0.35 bar (5 psi.), it causes an ALARM (the screen must be cleaned). If
the pressure difference is at the most 0.50 bar (7 psi.), the pump is SWITCHED OFF. Greater
pressure differences may damage the screen and hence also the pump.
CAUTION
The values given are limit values for the load of the screen. Since the suction side NPSHa in the
suction branch is reduced at the maximum permitted pressure difference value at the screen while
NPSHa must always exceed NPSHr, it may be necessary to decrease the limit values for the
activation/deactivation of the alarm.
7.8 Minimum flow arrangement

When operating a multistage pump at a very low flow, almost all power required by the pump is transformed to heat
up the liquid inside the pump due to liquid friction. In order to prevent the liquid inside the pump to reach the boiling
point temperature, all multistage pumps have a certain minimum flow value in order to prevent pump damage. The
flow through the pump has to be above this value at all times. Operating the pump below this value will lead to pump
failure. The minimum flow rate is individual for each pump. It is affected by a number of factors such as pump size,
speed of rotation, and temperature of liquid pumped. The minimum flow rate of your particular pump has been given
in the pump specification delivered with the pump, under Pump performance / Minimum required flow.
To make sure that the flow through the pump never goes below the minimum flow, a minimum flow valve or an orifice
plate can be supplied for the pump. This device has to be installed right after the pump discharge flange before any
shut-off or control valves, see figs. 13, 14a-b and 15.
This device also protects the pump during such cases when the pump operates against a closed valve, ie. there is
no flow to the process. Despite this, the pump must not be operated against a closed valve except for short periods
at a time (max. 10 min). All piping and other arrangements needed for this device are not a part of the pump supply.
Minimum flow valve
The operation of the minimum flow valve is based on the opening of the internal by-pass connection of the valve
when the flow through the valve (to process) goes below a certain set-point (=minimum flow value). The internal
by-pass connection closes when the flow to the process increases again above the set-point; the point is specified
when ordering the valve. Valves already in operation cannot be directly modified for another set-point but their
suitability needs to be checked with the valve manufacturer. Installation of the valve has to be done acc. to fig. 13
and following instructions given by the valve manufacturer.

If case of two pumps are operating in parallel the minimum flow pipelines should be installed separately to the flow
tank. If this is not possible to arrange and the pipelines are combined, make sure that the nominal diameter of the
shared section of the minimum flow pipelines is twice as large as that of a single pipeline.

8 Installation of motor onto the baseplate
If the motor has not been installed on the baseplate by the pump manufacturer, the installation should be carried out
as follows:
Heat the coupling half on the motor side to approx. 100 ºC (212 ºF) and push it onto the motor shaft in such a way
that the space between the ends of the shafts is according to the dimensional drawing of the pump ( usually the
front face of the coupling flange is even with the end of the shaft ).
Before mounting the coupling, read the manufacturer's instructions to a ensure correct gap between the coupling
halves.
Check that the pump is aligned as accurately as possible in the middle of the fixing holes of the motor. Lift the motor
onto the baseplate.
Align the coupling according to item, 8 Installation and alignment of coupling. Align the coupling by moving the motor
vertically by means of shims placed under the feet of the motor and horizontally by moving the motor to the side by
using the adjustment screws in the baseplate. There is a vertical adjustment margin of a minimum of 3 mm (0.12 in)
and a horizontal adjustment margin of 3 mm (0.12 in).
WARNING
The electrical connection of the motor must be carried out in accordance with the motor
manufacturer's instructions. See the motor manufacturer's installation and operating instruction.
9 Installation and alignment of coupling
WARNING
Before beginning any installation or alignment procedures, make sure the drive motor
cannot be started by any means.
CAUTION
Flexible couplings require very precise alignment. Poor alignment may destroy the coupling and
damage the bearings of the pump and motor.
For procedures to be followed when installing and disassembling the coupling, see separate instructions supplied by
the coupling manufacturer.
Check the alignment of the coupling and re-align during the following stages if necessary:
1 After installation at the site before grouting, make sure that it is possible to align the coupling to the sufficient
accuracy.
2 After grouting, check that the alignment has not changed.

Series 3.26 Page
Installation at the site January 2009 G08p
3 After supporting of piping before starting the pump, align the coupling to the accuracy given in the
instructions.
4 After running the pump with water, look for changes caused by the water run. Correct great changes by
altering the supporting of the piping. Align the coupling.
5 Carry out hot alignment if the temperature of pumped liquid is higher than 100°C (212°F). The alignment is
carried out during production run immediately after the pump is stopped while the pump and the motor are
still at the operating temperature. The need for hot alignment depends on the extent of temperature
differences and the coupling type chosen.
Aligment is checked by measuring the angular and parallel misaligments in vertical (6 and 12 o'clocks) and
horizontal (3 and 9 o'clocks) directions. During the alignment, the coupling halves have to be locked together so
that they do not move with respect to each other. If needed, correct the aligment by adding and removing shims
from under the feet of the motor and shifting the motor horizontally, until the shafts are aligned within the given
tolerances. Figure 17.

1 Safety procedures before start-up

Before starting the pump for the first time and always after service repairs, the following precautionary measures are
always to be checked carefully to prevent any accidents and to guarantee a trouble-free operation of the pump.
1.1 Leakage test
WARNING
Make sure that the motor cannot by any means be started accidentally during the
following procedures.
The pump parts and the piping shall be able to withstand a leakage test before the start-up.
Leakage, particularly in the suction piping, can seriously reduce the pump's performance and make it impossible to
prime the pump before the start-up.
NOTE
Pressure containing pump parts are not pressure vessels within the meaning of the
regulations for pressure vessels.
1.2 Direction of rotation
WARNING
The pump will be damaged if run in the wrong direction.
● Before commissioning, always check the motor for correct direction of rotation.
● It is imperative to detach the coupling spacer before checking the rotation direction of the motor.
Direction of rotation must correspond to the arrow sign (972.01) on the bearing housing (330.01).
Fig. 1

Series 3.26 Page
Operation September 2006 G09c
SPP id: 060929 / en / N05577 / 1 / Page 3 (9)
1.3 Free rotation

Check that the pump can rotate freely. Check this by rotating the coupling half on the pump side with the coupling
halves detached from each other.
1.4 Coupling alignment

Check that the coupling has been properly aligned according to instruction 3.26 G08, N05576 Installation /
Installation and alignment of coupling.
WARNING
Before starting - All safety devices (e.g coupling guards) must always be correctly installed. For
explosive areas guards with non-sparking materials are to be used.
1.5 Lubrication
Check the oil or grease used for the lubrication of both the pump and motor bearings before start-up. Condensation
or ingress of dirt and water may occur if the pump unit is stored for a long time before the installation and start-up.
WARNING
A pump unit operating without proper lubrication will damage the bearings and cause a pump
seizure. Use grease lubrication always when the pump is mounted in an inclined position.
CAUTION
For delivery, the bearing housing of the pump has been emptied of oil. Absolutely remember to refill
it before starting.
1.6 Shaft sealing and sealing water

Depending on the shaft seal fitting, check that the shaft seal's piping arrangement is properly installed and that the
sealing water system operates with suitable service of the shaft seal.
2 Starting the pump
WARNING
The pump is only meant for the purpose it is sold for - never operate beyond the intended use
described in these instructions.

Series 3.26 Page
Operation September 2006 G09d
SPP id: 060929 / en / N05577 / 1 / Page 4 (9)
2.1 Before starting and after service repairs always make sure that:
WARNING
Before starting - Make sure that the pump is sufficiently filled with the pumped liquid.
1 Fill the pump with liquid so that at least the suction pipe and the pump casings are filled with liquid. Never
start the pump dry even momentarily.
2 Open the shut-off valve for minimum flow in the pipeline (if installed), and lock the valve open. If a device
ensuring a minimum flow has not been installed, it must ensured in some other manner that at least the
minimum required flow always flows through the pump. This flow has been given in the Pump specification
delivered with the pump, under Pump Performance / Minimum required flow.
3 Open the shut-off valve in the bypass circulation lines, and lock the valve open. This is only done when the
by-pass circulation (719.01) has been led to the suction tank. When the by-pass circulation pipe is
connected to the suction end, there is no valve in the pipe.
4 Open potential sealing, cooling and flushing liquid valves and adjust the appropriate pressure and flow
amount, see instructions for sealing water equipment.
5 Leakage of shaft seal:
a If the dynamic seal leaks while the pump is at standstill, the seal can be adjusted by tightening nuts
(920.03) carefully.
b If the shaft seal of the pump is a mechanical seal, the chamber of the shaft seal must be de-aerated
either through the connection (MS11, MS12; MS21) on top of the sealing chamber (451.01) or through a
connection on a separate sealing cover (471.01).
c If the shaft seal is a gland packing, check that the gland packing leaks abudantly. If it does not leak
continuously, loosen the hexagonal nuts (920.03) of the stuffing box gland (452.01). If this does not help,
repack the gland packings (461.01). See instruction 3.26 G10, N05578 Preventive maintenance / Shaft
sealing / Gland packing.
6 Check that the suction valve is completely open and that the discharge valve is closed (minimum flow rate
must be achieved).
CAUTION
Observe immediately after start-up the instrumentation showing the discharge pressure. If the
correct pressure is not quickly reached, stop the motor and check causes for the low pressure.
2.2 Starting
1 Start the motor, and soon after starting, open the discharge valve until the desired flow rate is achieved.
Starting to the operating speed must be done as quickly as possible (3-5 seconds). Do not operate the pump
below the minimum speed of rotation (excluding starting and stopping). See instruction 3.26 G07 N05575
Product description.
2 Check that the gland packing still leaks abundantly. If not, slacken the stuffing box gland (452) immediately.
If this does not help and the gland packing becomes hot, stop the pump and find out the reason for the
disturbance. Once the gland packing has operated trouble-free for approx. 10 min., it can be tightened.
Tighten the gland packing by turning the hexagonal nut approx. 1/6 turns at a time at 5 - 10 min. intervals
until the leak amount is 30 - 80 drops/min. When tightening, make sure that the stuffing box gland stays
perpendicular in relation to the shaft. If it is not possible to make the seals tight without considerable
tightening, renew all seals. See instruction 3.26 G10, N05578 Preventive maintenance / Maintenance
possible during operation.

Operation September 2006 G09e
SPP id: 060929 / en / N05577 / 1 / Page 5 (9)
3 Monitor the operation of the pump more carefully than normal during the first hours of operation. See section
3 Controls during the first run.
CAUTION
If it is necessary to adjust the amount of liquid pumped, do it by adjusting the discharge valve. Never
use the suction valve for the flow adjustment.
3 Controls during the first run
WARNING
Personal injuries may occur if personal protective equipment is not used when servicing the
product. When pumping hazardous liquids, skin and eye protection are required.
By controlling the pump operation and output regularly, the possible need for service and repair can be anticipated.
In this way, the pump's efficiency is kept high, the process is trouble-free and the maintenance costs are low.
Monitor the temperature of the gland packing and maintain the leakage at 30-80 drops/minute by adjusting the
stuffing box gland.
The flow and pressure of sealing water must be kept at the values given by the seal manufacturer.
Check the temperature and vibration of bearings with regular measurements. If one or the other increases, it may be
a sign of incorrect lubrication or bearing damage. The measuring studs ( SPM, M8 x 24 ) are in the bearing housing
for controlling the condition of bearings.
Also any noises from the pump have to be controlled and the reasons for unusual noises detected.
CAUTION
Cavitation, recirculation or increased temperature can lead to a quick pump failure.
CAUTION
Do not operate the pump at a too high output, either. If the flow resistances of the pumping system
can change during operation so that the flow rate through the pump may exceed the permitted value,
a Venturi tube, available as optional extra, must be installed in the discharge flange of the pump, or
the possibility of an incorrect operating situation must be prevented in some other way. The
maximum output is the output value corresponding to the end (right edge) of the head curve in the
characteristic curve of a pump.

Series 3.26 Page

SPP id: 060929 / en / N05577 / 1 / Page 6 (9)
4 Shutdown procedure
● Close the discharge valve in order to prevent the liquid from flowing back (minimum flow rate must be
achieved).
● Stop the pump motor.
● Close the suction valve if the pumped liquid flows out of the pipeline.
● Remove pressure from the pump.
● Close potential sealing, cooling and flushing liquid equipment.
● If the pumped liquid is liable to freeze, drain the pump and the pipe for the standstill period.
5 Controls after the first run
When the pump unit has run for a sufficiently length of time to bring the pump and motor up to the normal operating
temperature, check the coupling alignment according to instruction 3.26 G08, N05576 Installation / Installation and
alignment of coupling.
NOTE
The correct final alignment is essential for a proper functioning of the pump unit.
With pumps equipped with gland packings, check the proper leakage from the stuffing box.
With pumps equipped with mechanical seals, ensure that the flushing or cooling supplies are functioning adequately.
Check that there is no overheating in the pump or motor bearings.
5.1 Control during standstills

Rotate the shaft of the pump every now and then a couple of turns during longer standstills. If the pumped liquid is
liable to congeal or freeze, drain the pump and pipes for the standstill period. See section 4 Shutdown procedure
and instruction also 3.26 G04, N05572 Reception of delivery / Storage.
6 Trouble-shooting, operation
During the start-up period, problems are mostly caused by pump selection mistakes, poor process design,
operational mistakes or foreign objects in the process.
During the long-term operation of a pump unit, problems are mostly caused by random failures, process changes or
corrosion and wear.
Problems can normally be traced to either poor maintenance or exceeding the limitations for intended use of the
pump.
The following problem tracing analysis includes the most common malfunctions and their possible causes. If the
pump does not function properly, it is important to trace the actual reasons, so the repairs and required
modifications can be done without delay, Tables 1 to 7.

1 General
NOTE
Preventive maintenance is also a relevant safety factor.
Regular and systematic preventive and predictive maintenance can extend the product lifetime and requires fewer
repairs and spare parts. Monitoring via instrumentation and physical examinations are a vital part of today's quality
maintenance. Sulzer recommends that the maintenance system include a historical record kept of each pump's
condition and performance. This will help to prevent sudden failures and aid in case of potential fault tracing
analyses. In the process industries one process downtime caused by a pump normally costs much more than the
price of the pump.
NOTE
If the pump performance does not fulfill the process requirements, the pump is to be disassembled
and inspected. All worn parts should be changed to new genuine spare parts.
The preventive maintenance consists of the following actions:

● Bearing lubrication
● Temperature, noise and vibration monitoring and inspections
● Monitoring the discharge pressure, capacity and power demand
● Inspections regarding corrosion and wear
● Shaft seal monitoring
● Regular pump washdowns
● Monitoring the pump and pipings for leakage
● Quarterly checks of the tightness of critical fasteners, such as foundation screws and pump & motor
fasteners onto the baseplate etc.
Table 1, General measuring instruments for pump operation
Fixed instruments: Portable instruments:

Pressure gauges & indicators Vibration analyzers
Flow meters Tachometers
Ammeters/ wattmeters/ voltmeters Thermometers
Speed indicators Noise level indicators
Temperature detectors Ultrasonic indicators (wall thickness)
Vibroswitches
Any fixed or portable instruments may in themselves create a possible failure and require regular
observation to ensure correct functioning.

Series 3.26 Page
Preventive maintenance January 2009 G10c
1.1 Temperatures
During operation, the following surface temperatures are to be observed regularly:
● suction casing (106.01)
● discharge casing (107.01)
● bearing housing (330.01)
● shaft sealing, measured on the stuffing box surface (451.01)
● motor (800.01)
The reasons for any deviations in temperatures are to be checked immediately to prevent further and more serious
damage. Temperature and pressure limits given in instruction 3.26 G07, N05575 Product description / Mechanical
durability must not be exceeded.
1.2 Noise and vibration analysis

A regular follow-up of the pump noise and vibration gives a good view regarding the condition and wear of bearings
and also other wearing parts of the pump. This enables predictive maintenance routines and reduces the potential of
unexpected shut-downs.
1.3 Discharge pressure

A regular control of the pressure generated by the pump, the rated flow and the power need of the drive unit gives a
view regarding the condition and wear of the pump's hydraulic parts. This follow-up enables such preventive
maintenance actions as parts renewals to be scheduled accordingly. The pressure and temperature limits of the
pump are stated in instruction 3.26 G07, N05575 Product description / Mechanical durability.
1.4 Corrosion and wear

When the pump is operating under corrosive and/or abrasive conditions, a regular follow-up of wall thicknesses in
the parts is necessary. When the wall thickness has worn more than the stated corrosion allowance 3 mm (0.12in),
the mechanical durability ( pressure limits ) stated in these instructions are no more guaranteed.
1.5 Pump washdown

The pump is designed to prevent external liquids from entering the bearing unit. However, direct spraying of high
pressure water to the labyrinth rings (423.01, 423.02) must be avoided during washing.
2 Shaft sealing
WARNING
Always stop the motor before any of the following maintenance actions to the pump. Make
absolutely sure that the motor cannot start during repairs.
WARNING
Always drain the pump before dissassembling the shaft seal. When pumping hazardous liquids,
make sure that there is no trapped liquid remaining in the pump parts.

Series 3.26 Page
Preventive maintenance January 2009 G10d
2.1 Dynamic seal

Concerns product sizes MBN25, MBN40, MBN50, MBN80 and MBN100.
The expeller (604.01) of the dynamic seal prevents the leakage of the pumped liquid through the stuffing box during
operation. During standstill, leakage is prevented by the static seal (435.01).

Maintenance of dynamic seals

Dynamic seals do not normally require any preventive maintenance. During the first years of operation, the static
seal (435.01) can yet wear so much that some leakage can occur during stoppages. The static seal is again
functional when sliding the thrust ring (475.01) towards the suction casing so long that the leakage stops. The thrust
ring must always be secured with the hexagonal screws (920.03). This adjustment can be done several times during
the lifetime of the static seal. The wear allowance of the static seal is about half of its thickness. If the seal has worn
more or is otherwise damaged, it must be replaced with a new one.
2.2 Mechanical seal

Concerns product sizes MBN25, MBN40, MBN50, MBN80, MBN100 and MBN150.
Mechanical seals are normally installed and adjusted at the factory before the delivery. The general principle is that
the mechanical seal does not leak at all. The lifetime of a mechanical seal depends on the cleanliness and
lubricating properties of the pumped liquid and the sealing liquid. If the mechanical seal leaks, stop the pump and
replace the mechanical seal.
CAUTION
The dry running of mechanical seals will damage the sliding surfaces and cause
leakage of pumped liquid.

Series 3.26 Page
Preventive maintenance January 2009 G10e
Maintenance of mechanical seals

Mechanical seals do not normally require any preventive maintenance. If any problems occur, the whole seal must
be replaced, see the seal manufacturer's instructions and instruction 3.26 G11, N05579 Repairs / Dismounting the
shaft seal and Installing the shaft seal.
2.3 Gland packing

WARNING
Never use gland packing materials containing asbestos which is hazardous to health.
Gland packed pumps must be checked regularly to ensure that there is a slight leakage from the gland. Excessively
tight gland causes wear to the shaft sleeve and an increased power demand. Refer to instruction 3.26 G09, N05577
Operation / Controls during the first run.
Maintenance of gland packings

Remove all used gland packings (461.01) from the stuffing box, clean the stuffing box and open sealing liquid holes
that have been clogged. Use a flexible extracting tool for removing the gland packings Fig. 2.
Fig. 2
If there are serious scratches or grooves as a result of wear in the shaft wearing sleeve (524.02) and/or in the
stuffing box housing (451.01), replace or repair the damaged parts.
We recommend the use of precompressed gland packings. When selecting the packing brand, pay attention to the
characteristics and temperature of the pumped liquid and the material of the shaft wearing sleeve.
However, if the gland packings have to be cut from a band, proceed as follows: wind 4 turns of the band around a
wooden pattern of the same diameter as the shaft wearing sleeve and use a sharp knife to cut the rings straight and
axially with no under- or over-dimensioning; see fig. 3 and table 1.
Fig. 3
When packing gland packings, be very precise and keep the parts clean.

3 Bearing unit
3.1 Bearing types
3.1.1 Drive unit side

The drive unit side of the pump is mounted on two single-row angular contact ball bearings (320.01), which are
installed in accordance with the X-system (face to face).
Table 2, Bearing types

Bearing type 7309 BECBM 7311 BECBM 7314 BECBM 7318 BECBM
The life time of bearings is affected by factors such as speed of revolution, production as compared to the best
efficiency point, and suction pressure. The bearing sizes have been defined so that at maximum speed and when
the production is 50 - 110% of the best efficiency point and when the suction pressure is at the most 5 bar, the life
time of bearings is at least 25,000 h. However, if the production point and suction pressure deviate from these
values, the minimum life time of the bearings is at least 16,000 h.
3.1.2 Free end

The discharge end (107.01) side of the pump is mounted on a slide bearing. The size of the bearing is determined
by the speed of revolution, seal type, and inlet pressure. The liquid pumped lubricates the slide bearing.
CAUTION
Cavitation, recirculation or increased temperature will lead to a quick pump failure.
3.2 Grease lubrication of antifriction bearing

CAUTION
Never mix different grease grades (consistency, thickeners). The mixed grease becomes softer and
does not lubricate the bearings properly.
3.2.1 Initial lubrication

All grease-lubricated bearings have been lubricated before delivery. The initial lubrication grease is SKF Grease
LGHP 2.
However, lubrication of 10 g (0.35 oz) during start-up before starting the pump is recommended.
Greasing is carried out through connection Y04 (636.01).

3.2.2 Grease brands
NOTE
All greasing equipment and fittings used must be clean to avoid any impurities from entering
the bearing housing.
Under normal operating conditions, when the surface temperature of bearing housings is below +80ºC (+176ºF), we
recommend the use of lithium-based or lithium complex thickener based mineral oil greases for antifriction bearings,
with the basic oil viscosity of the greases at +40ºC (+104ºF) being 100 - 200 cSt and operating temperature range
-20ºC - +120ºC (-4ºF - +248ºF).
Such greases are e.g.:

- Esso Beacon EP2 (lithium thickener)
- Klüber plex BEM 41-132 ≤100ºC (≤212ºF) (special lithium thickener)
- Mobil Mobilux EP2 (lithium thickener)
- Shell Alvania Grease EP2 (lithium thickener)
- SKF LGMT2 (lithium thickener)
- Neste Allrex EP2 (lithium thickener)
- Teboil Multi-Purpose Grease (lithium thickener)
If the bearings run hotter and the surface temperatures are above +80ºC (+176ºF), we recommend the use of the
following special greases:
- Esso Unirex EP2 tai N3 (lithium complex thickener)
- Mobil Mobilgrease XHP 222 (lithium complex thickener)
- SKF LGHP2 (polyurea thickener)

Series 3.26 Page
Preventive maintenance January 2009 G10i
- Shell Limona LX1 (lithium complex thickener)

- Klüberquiet BQ 72-72 (polyurea thickener)
- Neste Templex (lithium thickener)
- Teboil Multi-Purpose HT (lithium complex thickener)
These special greases can also be used with surface temperatures below +80ºC (+176ºF).
Any of the above special greases can be changed into the bearing unit on top of the lithium-based or lithium
complex thickener-based mineral greases mentioned in this instruction, but in this case more frequent re-lubrication
initially is recommended to guarantee the change of the grease.
Always consult the pump manufacturer about the use of other special greases (not mentioned in this instruction) and
their start-up.

Splash oil bearing lubrication is used. The oil level is set at the center of the lowest bearing ball. The lubrication
system contains a venting device (672.01) and constant level oiler, which consists of the oiler tank (633.01), sight
glass (642.01) and level oiler (638.01).
Adding oil into the bearing housing:
The bearing housing of the pump has been emptied of oil before delivery, so oil must absolutely be filled
before commissioning. See the oil volume in Table 9. Before filling, remove the constant level oiler (638.01)
by loosening its locking screw (914.01) and lifting the oiler off. Pour oil slowly through the connection (C33)
of the bearing housing so that the external oil tank (633.01), which houses the sight glass (642.01), also has
time to fill. Pour oil so that the oil level settles in the middle of the sight glass. Make sure not to overfill.
Finally, also fill the glass dome of the constant level oiler with oil and place the oiler back into place. Tighten
the locking screw.
The oil level may fall slightly when the pump is running. In this case refill oil through the cap of the constant level
oiler. There must always be oil in the plastic cap.
Use only high-quality mineral oils whose viscosity in normal conditions (when the temperature of the bearing housing
is below +65ºC (+149ºF)) is ISO VG 46:
- Esso Teresstic 46
- Shell Tellus Oil S46
- Mobil DTE Oil Medium
- Neste Paine 46
- Klüber Summit SH 46
- Tebo Larita Oil 46
In order to achieve a sufficient thickness of the lubricant film in the bearing, the viscosity of the oil at the operating
temperature must be sufficiently high, minimum of 11 mm@/s. The operating temperature is approx. 15ºC (59ºF)
higher than the surface temperature of the bearing housing. For this reason, if the surface temperature of the
bearing housing is higher than +65ºC (+149ºF) as a result of a higher ambient temperature or some other reason,
an oil with a higher viscosity class must be used, see table 7.

4 Inspection of wearing parts
CAUTION
Carry out all inspections as carefully as possible. Clean and inspect all parts for wear and cracks,
and replace any necessary parts. Neglect will lead to premature pump failure.
4.1 Impellers
Inspect the impellers for wear and damage. Look for corrosion cavities in the suction area (especially in the suction
impeller), wear on the vanes and cracks in the circumference. Also check the wear surfaces of the impeller both on
the suction ring and on the hub. See Fig. 8. Smooth out small roughness with a fine file or sandpaper. Replace the
impellers if necessary.

Series 3.26 Page

Maintenance January 2009 G11l
Wear surfaces
Fig. 8
4.2 Casing wear rings and clearances

Inspect the casing wear rings for grooves and uneven wear. Measure the wear surface of the impeller and the
diameter of the corresponding casing wear ring to determine the clearance. Table 2 gives clearance values on the
diameter for new parts, and maximum values. If these maximum values are exceeded, the casing wear rings and/or
impellers must be changed. A larger clearance results in increased internal leak in the pump and deterioration of
pump efficiency.
Table 2, Clearance between casing wear ring and impeller on the diameter

mm in mm in mm in mm in mm in mm in
Maximum clearance with new parts 0.45 0.018 0.47 0.019 0.48 0.019 0.55 0.022 0.60 0.024 0.70 0.028
Maximum clearance 0.58 0.023 0.60 0.024 0.62 0.024 0.71 0.028 0.78 0.031 0.91 0.036
4.3 Replacing the casing wear ring

Pull the casing wear ring out of the casing with an extractor. Install a new casing wear ring with the beveled edge
first, and against the shoulder.
4.4 Shaft
Handle the shaft with care and support it evenly so that it remains straight. Make sure not to damage, hit or bend the
shaft. Inspect the surfaces and shoulders for dirt, dents and burr. Check the run-outs in shaft surfaces:
Support the shaft on the bearing area (use V-blocks or rollers). Check run-outs using a dial indicator. The
maximum permitted run-out is 0.025 mm (0.001 in). If the run-out is greater, the shaft must be replaced.
4.5 Shaft seal

1 Dynamic seal
Inspect the expeller for wear. If the vanes are worn considerably and especially if the wear has been
uneven, the expeller must be replaced. Inspect the wear surfaces of the static seal and thrust ring for wear.
The static seal should be changed if wear has reached the edge of the groove, see Fig. 9.

Series 3.26 Page

Maintenance January 2009 G11m
Replacement limit
Fig. 9
2 Mechanical seal
Inspect the slide surfaces between the rotating part and the static part of the mechanical seal. There must
not be signs of scratching on these. The mechanical seal must be changed as a single unit. A seal removed
from the pump must be delivered to the manufacturer for service. The slide surfaces of all mechanical seals
cannot be inspected without dismantling the seal (cartridge seals). Such seals must always be changed
when they leak while the pump is running.
3 Gland packing
The bands of gland packings must be changed every time that the gland packing needs to be dismantled.
Check the shaft wearing sleeve and lantern ring for wear. Change the parts if necessary.
4.6 Antifriction bearing

The angular ball bearings must be replaced every time they are removed from the shaft. They must also be changed
if the vibration values have risen during pump operation. Check the condition of labyrinth rings. Change the parts if
necessary.
4.7 Slide bearing and fixing sleeve

Inspect the inner surface of the slide bearing and the outer surface of the fixing sleeve for wear and damage. The
slide bearing must be changed if there are cracks or grooves in the silicon carbide (SIC). The fixing sleeve can be
delivered to the manufacturer for recoating.
4.8 Checking the run-out of shaft assembly

In order to expedite the assembly of the pump, we recommend that the straightness of the entire shaft assembly be
inspected in accordance with Fig. 10 before the final assembly of the pump. Assemble the shaft parts in this order:
suction impeller (231.01), impellers (230.01), key (940.02), fixing sleeve (531.01) and two-part retaining ring
(506.01). Place the temporary ring (500.01) on the retaining ring, see dimensions in Table 3, and the sleeve
(520.01) against it. Lock the shaft parts with screw (901.04). Before tightening the screw, turn the impellers
counter-clockwise in relation to their direction of rotation against the previous impeller (for removing clearance from
between the impellers). Support the shaft on the bearing area. The support points are indicated with the arrows X in
Fig. 10 (use V-blocks or rollers). Check the run-out at the marked locations.
The maximum permitted run-out of an impeller at the locations shown in the figure is 0.04 mm (0.0016 in). If the
run-out is greater, correct the corresponding impeller by grinding off material carefully from the face of the impeller
hub. Before dismantling the inspection assembly, mark the position of impellers and other parts in relation to each
other so that the final assembly can also be carried out to the same position. Remove the special parts used for
checking eccentricity and save them for later use.

Maintenance January 2009 G11p
7 Push the shaft wearing sleeve (524.01) onto the shaft against the shoulder. Tighten the grub screws (2
screws, seal part 25) in the rotating part of the seal. Note that the spring of the seal tends to resist the
installation of the shaft wearing sleeve, so make sure that the shaft wearing sleeve is against the shaft
shoulder. Alternatively, the grub screws can be tightened after the bearings have been installed.
8 The stuffing box housing is installed into place in the suction casing (106.01) when the bearing housing
(330.01) is being installed. See item 5.2 Assembling of antifriction bearing.
5.1.2.3 Other types of mechanical seals

See the seal manufacturer's instructions.
5.1.3 Assembling of gland packing

We recommend the use of precompressed gland packings. When selecting the packing brand, pay attention to the
characteristics and temperature of the pumped liquid and the material of the shaft wearing sleeve.
However, if the gland packings have to be cut from a band, proceed as follows: wind 4 turns of the band around a
wooden pattern of the same diameter as the shaft wearing sleeve and use a sharp knife to cut the rings straight and
axially with no under- or over-dimensioning; see fig. 12 and table 4.
NOTE
When packing gland packings, be very precise and keep the parts clean.

7 Heat the two angular ball bearings (320.01) to approx. +100ºC (+212ºF) and install them onto the shaft in
accordance with the x-system (face-to-face). Let the bearings cool.
CAUTION
The bearings must absolutely be installed correctly in accordance with the X-system
(so-called Face-To-Face construction).
8 Tighten the bearings by means of two bearing nuts (923.01) tightly against the shaft shoulder. Use a suitable
hook wrench for this.
9 Install the bearing housing (330.01) so that the bearings come against the shoulder in the housing. The
bearing housing can be heated slightly (max. +80ºC (+176ºF)) to facilitate installation.
10 Fasten the bearing cover with hexagonal screws (901.02) to the bearing housing so that in the case of
grease lubrication, the letter “G" on the bearing cover faces up and in the case of oil lubrication, the letter
“O" on the bearing cover faces up. If the cover is installed in an incorrect position, bearing lubrication does
not work sufficiently well, and the pump will get damaged. See Fig. 14.

of the impellers (230.01) and (231.01).
5 Install the suction impeller (231.01) onto the shaft against the shoulder. Check the location of the impeller in
relation to the suction casing by measuring the distance from the edge of the impeller passage to the
counter face on the guide vane of the suction casing, see Fig. 15. The permitted values of this distance are
given in Table 5. If the distance is not within the permitted limits, check whether the antifriction bearing has
been assembled correctly.
6 Install the stage casings and impellers (230.01) in numerical order. Install the impellers so that their polygon
forms go inside each other.

5.4 Assembling of free end bearing

See Fig. 1 in item 3.2.
1 Continue assembly while the pump is in a vertical position.
2 Install the key (940.02) onto the shaft (210.01).
3 Lubricate the O-rings (412.13) with for example silicone oil and install them in the grooves in the slide
bearing (310.01). Press the slide bearing (310.01) to the bearing holder in the discharge casing, to the end
level.
4 Install the discharge casing in the pump so that the grub screw on the discharge casing goes in the hole
located in the stage casing (108.10). Mark the locations of both the grub screw hole and the hole in the
stage casing on the outer surfaces of the parts in advance to facilitate the alignment of the discharge casing.
Note that the flange of the discharge casing points to the desired direction in relation to the bearing housing.
5 Make sure that the legs of the suction casing and discharge casing are parallel. Install the tie screws
(905.01), washers (554.02) and nuts (920.02), and tighten the nuts slightly.
6 Lubricate the O-ring (412.11) slightly for example with silicon oil and install it in the groove in the fixing
sleeve (531.01). Push the fixing sleeve onto the shaft so that the polygon fit sets in the fit of the last impeller.
7 Install the two-part retaining ring (506.01) in the groove on the shaft. Push the sleeve (520.01) on the shaft
over the retaining ring. Lock the sleeve with the hexagonal screw (901.04).
8 Install the grub screw (904.01) in the hole located on the flow surface of the discharge casing (107.01).
9 Place the gland packings (461.02 and 461.03) into the grooves of the back-up ring (516.01). Use adhesive
for fixing these. Product size MBN150 does not include the back-up ring (516.01), and the gland packings
are in the bearing cover (360.02). Push the back-up ring to the bearing holder in the discharge casing while
at the same time pushing the slide bearing deeper.
10 Lubricate the O-ring (412.06) slightly for example with silicon oil and install it in the bearing cover (360.02).
Place the cover to the bearing holder in the discharge casing while at the same time pushing the slide
bearing and back-up ring to the correct position. Fasten the cover to the discharge casing with hexagonal
screws (901.03) so that the connection of the recirculation pipe points to the desired direction.
11 Turn the pump to a horizontal position and place it on an even base on the support legs. Loosen the nuts in
the tie screws. Make sure that both support legs are parallel, and tighten the tie screws crosswise and
evenly tight. Use the tightening torques given in Table 6. Lubricate the threads and counter faces of nuts
with molybdenum sulphide or corresponding agent preventing seizing.
12 Connect the recirculation hose (719.01) to the connection (W12) on the bearing cover and to the connection
(W08) on the suction casing.

5.5 Installing of pump on baseplate
WARNING
During installation, BEWARE that your hands, fingers etc. are not crushed by heavy parts. Use
personal protective equipment.
1 Install the guard end (685.01) to the bearing end (330.01) with hexagonal screws (901.07).
2 Heat the pump side coupling flange to approx. +100ºC (+212ºF) and push it onto the pump shaft so that the
distance between the shaft ends is in accordance with the dimensional drawing (usually the face of the
coupling flange is flush with the shaft end). In conjunction with the installation of the coupling, familiarize
yourself with the coupling manufacturer's instructions so that the distance between the coupling halves is
right.
3 Lift the pump onto the baseplate and fasten the pump to the baseplate with the screws (901.06).
CAUTION
In pumping applications for hot liquids (T> +100ºC (+212ºF)), only use half of the normal tightening
torque of the mounting screws when mounting the free end of the pump to the baseplate. The
normal tightening torques are given in the table in instruction 3.26 G07 N05575 Product description /
Fastener information.
4 Connect the suction and discharge pipes.

5 Connect the bypass pipe.
WARNING
The pump must not be operated at zero flow, because the pump may heat excessively. The bypass
pipe ensures a minimum flow in the pump.
6 Connect the sealing liquid and cooling water hoses.

7 Install the plug (903.01) of the lubricant drainage connection of the bearing housing and lubricate the
bearings with oil or grease in accordance with instruction 3.26 G10 N05578 Preventive maintenance /
Grease lubrication of antifriction bearing or Oil lubrication of antifriction bearing.
8 Align the coupling in accordance with instruction 3.26 G08 N05576 Installation / Installation and alignment of
coupling.
