 OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Highflow Progressive Cavity Pump - RTOH Series
Installation:
All pumps with mechanical seal shall be WATER
QUENCHED. Provision is already provided DO NOT RUN
WITHOUT QUENCHING AS IT SHALL DAMAGE THE SEAL.
All pumps with geared motor – check the instructions
on the geared motor with respect to filling oil.
1. INSTALL DIRECT ON LINE STARTER ONLY because
the pump requires high starting torque.
2. INSTALL DRY RUNNING PROTECTION DEVICE
because the pump if run dry even for a few
revolutions will damage the stator. This is a must for
batch process industry/intermittent supply of liquid.
A connection from discharge line to suction tank /
line will suffice for this purpose.
3. PIPING SHOULD PROVIDE FOR DISMANTLING AND
REPAIR ONLINE.
4. A PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE must be installed in the
discharge line if there is danger of other equipment
or pipe line getting damaged because of excess
build up pressure.
5. FLUSHING Lines for Hot/ Cold water to be provided,
DO NOT USE STEAM, AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE
STATOR.
6. USE CLOCK WISE ROTATING FACILITY IF & ONLY IF
the suction pressure is negative or you are pumping
acids which become more corrosive in contact of
air.
Starting:
1. Suction should be towards gland packing because
the gland should be at low pressure end. ROTATION
SHOULD BE ANTI CLOCKWISE.
2. PUMP MUST BE FILLED WITH LIQUID AND GIVEN A
FEW TURNS BY HAND BEFORE STARTING because
lubrication is to be provided to the stator (a) at the
initial installation stage, (b) after dismantling and
reinstallation, (c) if the pump has not been in use
for long periods.
3. GLAND SHOULD BE TIGHTENED TO THE MINIMUM
and liquid should be allowed to drip drop by drop.
4. DISCHARGE VALVE SHOULD BE FULLY OPEN other
wise pressure will be created. The excess pressure
may damage a) the stator b) the discharge piping.
5. PREVENTIVE MAINTEANCE IS A MUST. This prevents
further damage to costly rotating parts such as rotor,
stator, coupling rod, shaft, shaft head etc.
2
Stopping:
1. Always FLUSH THE PUMP WITH HOT/COLD WATER
before stopping. More so, if the liquid has a tendency
to settle, crystallize or jam.
Dismantling:
1. Remove suction & discharge pipings. Remove the
end plate (part no. 213) , and tie rod (part no.255).
2. Pull the stator (part no.236 ) away from the suction
housing. Rotate the shaft to facilitate the same.
3. Remove the four nuts (part no. 259) connecting
suction housing (part no. 211) & bearing housing
(part no. 210) and pull the suction housing.
4. The entire rotating assembly is now visible. Remove
the head pin (part no. 229) fitted on the shaft head
(part no. 226). The shaft head, coupling rod (part no.
227) & rotor (part no. 234) assembly can now be
pulled out.
5. To remove rotor, remove head pin (part no.229) from
rotor (part no.234). The eccentric joint assembly is
now separate
6. To disassemble the eccentric joint pull the sleeves
(part no.230) in. And then remove the boot seal (part
no. 235). Remove the pin (part no.231). Pull the shaft
head away from the coupling rod, remove seal ring
(part no. 232) and sleeve ring ( part no.233). Remove
PROTECTOR (part no.2352) from rotor and shaft
head.
Dismantling of pumping elements is over.
Let us start with the driving end now
7. Remove bearing cover (part no. 214), remove stuffing
box and force the driving shaft (part no. 220) out.
Use a wooden rod to hammer from the stuffinq box
end.
8. Remove the gland (part no. 216).
9. Remove the felt ring housing by hammering from
the gland end. The felt ring housing (Part No. 2152)
will come out along with the outer cones of the
taper roller bearing.
10. To remove the bearing open the circlip lock (part
no. 225) & slowly hammer the bearings down with
the help of a fixture (a hollow pipe). Remove bearing
spacer (part no. 222) and bearing support ring (part
no. 221).
EACH AND EVERY PART OF THE PUMP HAS NOW BEEN
DISASSEMBLED.

Rotate pump by hand with the aid of tools.
Check direction of pump according to arrow.
2 If direction is wrong change the phase of motor.

3 Check suction line and shaft seal for leaks.

Check suction head if necessary, use bigger diameter suction

4 line -or larger size Iiltersuction valve must be fully opened.

5 Check viscosity of liquid

Check pump speed - check speed and amperage of

6 motor - check voltage and frequency.

7 Avoid airlocks in medium.

Check delivery head -valve in discharge line to be fully

8 opened -remove any blockage in discharge line.
Pump runs completely or partly
9 dry. Check whether sufficient
liquid on suction side.

10 Align coupling correctly.

11 Raise pump speed for thin media and large quantities.

12 Reduce -speed for highly viscous media avoid cavitation

13 Check lengthwise tolerance on coupling rod pin

Check pump for foreign bodies.

14 dismantle the pump, remove foreign
bodies and replace defective parts
Stator or rotor worn,
15 dismantle the pump. replace
defective parts
Eccentric joint and/or stator worn.
16 Dismantle the pump and replace defective parts.

17 Suction line partially or entirely blocked.

Check temperature of medium -stator expansion too

18 much -seized on rotor -possibly stator burnt out.

Stuffing box -change unserviceable packing rings, loosen

19 gland/tighten gland.

Proportion and/or diameter of solids too great -reduce pump

20 speed, install strainer before the pump.

Solids form hard sediment, when pump not in use flush pump
