symbol.
Danger: the non-observance of instructions can cause
serious damages to persons and/or objects.
Danger: only skilled personnel is allowed to carry out
operations concerning the electric parts.

SAFETY WARNINGS
When the pump is working the following occurs:
- Electric parts are in tension.
- Mechanical parts are moving.
- Pump body, pipelines and articulations are under internal pressure. Therefore do not remove any protection or locking, do not loosen screws or clampings, as this can cause serious damages to persons or
objects. The clamp joining the pump casing and the cover must be well tightened and it should not be
easily unscrewed by hand.
- Non-observance of inspection and maintenance can cause damages to persons and objects, especially
when dangerous or toxic liquids are pumped.
- When pumping liquids at a temperature over 60C, adequate protection and warning signals are required.
- When you buy a pump with bare shaft, motor coupling operations have to be carried out according to
technical directions and law, providing adequate protections for joints, gear belts, etc.
- Operations on the electric parts have to be carried out by skilled personnel, according to technical directions and law, on authorization of the responsible installer.
- Installation must ensure an adequate ventilation, in order to cool the engine, as well as enough space
for maintenance operations.
Before carrying out any operation which requires to disassemble the pump (inspection, cleaning, seal
replacement, etc.), the following preliminary operations have to be carried out:
- switch off engine tension and disinsert electric connection;
- close valves on suction and outlet pipelines, in order to avoid the risk of inundation;
- use adequate protections for hands and face, if the pump contains liquids which are injurious to health
(for example acids, solvents, etc.);
- consider if the liquid which flows out of the pump when disassembling is dangerous and arrange for
adequate safety measures.

pag. 4

TRANSFERRING
Carry the packed pumps as close as possible to the
place of installation by means of appropriate lifting
devices and unpack them. During this operation take
care, as unsteady parts could fall down.
The material used for packing (wood, paper,
cellophane, etc.) should be properly got rid,
according to the corresponding rules in force in
receiver s country.
After unpacking the pump, use special lifting belts and
move the pump-motor-set to the place of installation;
never use the eyebolts on the motor to move the pump,
as the eyebolts are for moving the motor only.
In versions complete with shroud, take the shroud
off before moving the pump-motor-set, in order to
avoid damages.

DESCRIPTION
The CL-CLC series comprise single-stage centrifugal pumps with axial suction port. The impeller is keyed
directly onto the motor shaft. They are designed and constructed to sanitary standards and are intended
for professional use. All models have threaded connections for fittings to DIN 11851 standards (unless
otherwise requested) and all models are fitted with mechanical seals. The materials used for the components and the mechanical seal are chosen according to the liquid to be pumped.
They are fitted with three-phase electric motors, IP 55 protection rating, unless otherwise specified.
The pumps type CL are with 3 or 6-blade open impeller designed to minimise slapping of the liquid.
The pumps type CLC are with 6-blade closed impeller designed to optimise hydraulic efficiency.
These pumps are designed for applications where the liquid to be pumped :
- is not subject to pollution of any kind,
- is at a temperature between -30C and +140C,
- must under no circumstances come into contact with the outside environment,
- is chemically aggressive.

SOUND PRESSURE LEVEL

The sound pressure level of centrifugal pumps is the following (see table):
The measurement has been made by means of a phon-meter placed at 1 m distance from the pump and
at a height of 1.6 m from the ground.
Preliminary condition is that the pump is fixed correctly; the above mentioned values do not take into
account external noise sources (e.g. valves, abrupt hydraulic deflections).

INSTALLATION
SUCTION AND INFLOW CONDITIONS
(NPSH = Net Positive Suction Head)
NPSH of system (available NPSH)
In order to ensure that pump operation is free from cavitation, it is essential to observe the maximum
permitted suction lift ha geo max or the minimum allowable head hc geo min.
NPSH of pump (required NPSH)
The centrifugal pumps can operate correctly only if vapour has not formed inside. For this reason the static
head at the reference point for the NPSH is the centre of the impeller, that is the point of intersection of the
pump shaft axis with the vertical plane that passes through the external points of the blade inlet corners.
NPSH is the value required by the pump, expressed in metres, obtained from the performance curve. In
practice 0.5 m should be added to this value as a safety margin.

8.2

PIPING
In order to prevent the creation of harmful stresses, the suction and discharge pipes must be connected
to the pump ports without the use of force. These pipes must also be supported independently avoiding
causing stresses on the pump. The internal diameter must be the same size as the pump connections. It
must in any case not be smaller to avoid head loss and/or poor performances.
Always use elbows with large radius. If the pipe diameter changes along the line, use reduction cones,
choosing the ones that are most suitable to avoid any formation of air pockets (Fig.1).

Fig. 1

NO

YES

The suction pipe must be as short as possible and rise as it moves towards the pump if it is sucking from
a tank (Fig.2). Always fit a bottom valve with a suction rose. If on the other hand the pump is below the
level of the liquid, the pipe should descend slightly (Fig.3). If the pump is used for transporting hot liquids,
fit expansion joints to compensate any expansion of the piping. The maximum velocity of the liquid in the
suction pipe must not be greater than 3 m/s. Velocities between 1 and 2 m/s are recommended. The suction pipe must be designed in such a way as to prevent air from entering the pump.

pag. 6

Fig. 2

Fig. 3

For this reason, when sucking from a tank located at a lower level, the pipe must reach below the free
surface of the liquid. In order to prevent the formation of vortices and avoid the risk of sucking in air, always
keep a minimum head at the pipe inlet (h. min.) equal to at least the dynamic head plus a safety margin
of 0.1 m (Fig.2).

h min =

Va2
2g

hmin = m
+ 0,1

V = m/s

In order to prevent the formation of vortices when it is not possible to observe the values of minimum
available head, it is possible to fit crosses in the piping. This system is suitable even for tanks with a
positive head.
- Avoid creating obstacles which could increase suction losses disrupting smooth fluid flow. Make sure
that there are no restrictions, sharp turns or tight elbows on the discharge line, since these increase
disturbance.
8.3

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Make the electrical connection only after the hydraulic connection has been completed; set up the motor
control system in conformity with the technical standards and regulations in force (EN 60204-1): in particular a manual electric power switch must be installed with adequate current switching capacity; devices
for overcurrent and overload protection (e.g. fuses, automatic switches, etc.) must also be fitted, plus, if
necessary, a device to prevent accidental restarting.
Check that the main frequency and voltage and the available power are suitable for the motor installed. All
the material used for the electrical connection (cables, cable clamps, switches and shielding) must have
a suitable level of protection for the environment in which it is installed. Be sure to use cables of sufficient
cross-section for the current shown on the motor plate so as to prevent them from overheating.
Before doing anything else, make the motor's earth connection, using the terminal on the motor and a cable
of sufficient cross-section. The cables may be connected to the terminal board using either a delta or star
arrangement. Follow the data given on the motor plate for the main voltage, as shown in the diagram in
fig.4; ensure that the terminals are clean and tight and not under stress.
When starting, the motor's current absorption increases briefly to 5-6 times the nominal value. If the mains
supply is unable to substain this increase in absorption, use a star-delta starter or other kind of device
(e.g. an autotransformer).

NON-PERMITTED USES
Do not use the pump with a suction pressure greater than the specified value (0.5 times the discharge
head generated by the pump).
The pump must always be used in an environment appropriate to the level of protection of the motor.
Always check this on the motor plate before installation.
WARNING THE PUMP MAY NOT BE USED IN ENVIRONMENTS WHICH REQUIRE A HIGHER LEVEL
OF PROTECTION OR A HIGHER SPECIFICATION MOTOR OR ELECTRICAL PARTS.
Components complying with the safety standards for the environment in question must be used.

10.1

OPERATION
PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
- Check that the pump turns freely under hand pressure.
- Check that the clamp joining the pump casing and the cover is well tightened and that it cannot be easily unscrewed by hand. The tightening of the clamp must be carried out by means of a key and NOT by
hand.
- Check that the pump turns in the marked direction (CLOCKWISE, as seen from the control end).
- The suction pipe and the pump must be filled with liquid. There are two possible cases:
a) When the pump is to operate with a negative suction head, it must be primed by introducing liquid into
the pump body.
b) When the pump is to operate below the level of the suction liquid, i.e. with a positive head, the suction
and discharge gate valves must be opened until the pressure gauge on the pump discharge shows a
pressure corresponding to the positive suction head.
- If the sealing chamber is to be cooled, open the cooling water supply and adjust the flow.

10.2

STARTING
- Carry out the preliminary operations, then close the discharge gate valve completely and make sure that
the suction gate valve is completely open.
- Start the pump and check once again that it rotates in the right direction.

10.3

OPERATING CHECKS
- If the pump does not generate the required discharge head rapidly, stop and repeat the priming operations.
- If the discharge gate valve is opened more than necessary, i.e. further than the specified working point,
and the pump is operating with a lower discharge head than that required, there will be an increase in
delivered capacity and absorbed power. If this occurs, throttle the discharge until the required head and
capacity values are obtained.
- If the discharge head generated by the pump is greater than that required, the diameter of the impeller
can be reduced. If, on the other hand, the discharge head is lower than required, with the same capacity,
it will be necessary to install a larger diameter impeller (if the one fitted is not already the largest available)
and probably also a higher power motor.
- The pump must operate smoothly and without vibrations.
- Do not operate without liquid and in any case avoid prolonged operation with the discharge gate valve closed.
- Check that the suction liquid level is always sufficient to guarantee an adequate energy load for normal
operation of the pump.
- Mechanical seal: check that there is no leakage along the shaft.

10.4

EXTENDED STOP
When stopping the pump for a longer time, empty the pump completely and wash it accurately in order
to avoid the formation of scales and/or encrustations. When starting the pump again, please follow the
above-mentioned instructions.

10.5

CLEANING THE PUMP

The pump does not require any special washing procedures. The washing cycles normally used for the
plant in which it is installed are quite satisfactory. When using the pump for liquids that tend to harden or
crystallize, always make sure that it is washed before periods in which the machine is out of service. This
will ensure durability of the seal and of the pump itself. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the
washing liquids are compatible with the process liquid and the pump.

SEALS
All CSF centrifugal pumps of the CL - CLC series are fitted with unified mechanical seals according to EN
12756 - ISO 3069 standards, in order to grant the interchangeability (subject to verification of axial space).
The type of mechanical seal and material are chosen according to the liquid to be pumped.
WARNING Before using the pump for any liquids other than those specified when selecting and ordering,
ensure that mechanical seals and gaskets are suitable for the new product.

EXEC. T
Internal mechanical seal
The rotary mechanical seal is internal in order to ensure
improved cooling and consequently to reduce its wear.
The type of mechanical seal and the materials of the
rotating surfaces and of the elastomers are chosen
each time, among the several types available, according to the nature of the handled product.

EXEC. W
Internal mechanical seal with liquid circulation
In pumping heated liquid, it induces a forced liquid circulation in the area around the seal, in order to avoid
whichever steam formation, which may damage the
seal itself.
It removes deposits by limiting sedimentation.

pag. 13

EXEC. V
Flushed internal mechanical seal
The external chamber, by means of the flushing liquid
circulation, avoids any damages to the electric motor
and contamination of the environment, due to the possible leakages of the internal mechanical seal.
The function of the flushing is to cool, lubricate and
clean the seal surfaces.

CLEANING PROCEDURE
The cleaning of stainless steel pumps depends on the process liquid.
Typically the cleaning process should be developed by a plant responsible of sanitization.
CSF Inox recommends a fluid velocity between 1,5-3 m/s, with rinsing water and chemical agent
like alkaline detergent and acid.
Chemicals like hypochlorite and chlorine must be avoided because stainless steel could be damaged
by corrosion.
Alkaline detergent:
A sodium hydroxide/water solution may be used at concentration 1-3% at a temperature of 70-90C;
a surfactant could be added to increase the rinse cleaning.
Acid solution:
It is used to neutralize alkaline residual and for the passivation of the stainless steel surface; a
solution of nitric acid at 1-2,5% could be used at ambient temperature up to 45C.
Other acid solution could be: citric acid and water (0,5-3% at 70C) and phosphoric acid at 0,5%
with a temperature up to 45C (with inhibitor of corrosion).
Suggested cleaning process:
1) Prerinse with cold water (15-25C) for 10-15 minutes to remove any residue.
2) Warm prerinse with water at 45-60C for 10 minutes.
3) Rinse with alkaline solution at 70-95C for 20-30 minutes.

SEALS
All centrifugal pumps CSF CL-CLC series are supplied with mechanical seal according to the European standards to grant a perfect shaft sealing.
Seal type and materials are chosen according to the handled liquid and duty conditions.
STANDARD MECHANICAL SEAL " T "
The standard version is an internal mechanical seal, working sunk into the handled product and placed behind the impeller in a suitable conic room
to grant the right condition of product circulation.
The mechanical seal does not require any maintenance. The faces on contact are subjected to wear depending on duty conditions such as: shaft
rotation speed, handled liquid purity, handled liquid temperature, seal faces materials, etc. The seal faces, stationary and rotating, must be replaced
contemporaneously.
DISASSEMBLY OF THE PUMP
The simple pump design allows quick and easy maintenance operations.
Remove the shroud (31), if present, unscrew the xing screws (32). Disassemble the pump casing (1), loosing the clamp (9); if the impeller (3) consists of two parts, rst unloose the cover in counter clockwise direction, then draw out the impeller from the shaft; if the impeller (3) is a single part,
drawing it out, loosing the impeller nut (8) in counter clockwise direction. Then disassemble the mechanical seal (6): in order to extract the rotating
part of the mechanical seal, turn the mechanical seal spring in clockwise direction and draw it out using, if necessary, common pillers; unscrew the
xing screws (12) which x the group ange-eccentric-cover (5-30-2) to the motor (4) and separate them. Separate the cover (2) from the ange
(5) unscrew the xing screws (11) and then extract the stationary part of the seal (6) inside the cover (2).
ASSEMBLY OF THE MECHANICAL SEAL (" T " )
Check if motor shaft is not weared, clean it carefully, polish it using (600 degrees) emery cloth, grease it with neutral oil (vaseline or silicone).
Set the motor in vertical position. Put the stationary part of the mechanical seal (6) in its seat inside the cover (2). Assemble the group cover-eccentric
ange (2-30-5) screw the xing screws (11) and position this last one, putting the shaft inside the cover (2) very carefully in order to avoid any damage
to the components, on the motor (4) and screw the xing screws (12). Insert the rotating part of the seal (6) on the shaft, making it sliding on it.
ASSEMBLY OF THE PUMP
Assemble the impeller (3) on the shaft (4) and screw the impeller nut (8) or the cover if the impeller (3) consists of two parts. Put the clamp (9) rst,
then the pump casing (1) on the pump cover (2); screw the clamp till the complete locking of the pump casing on the pump cover (2). Complete
with shroud (31).
N.B. Particular care must be taken in handling the seal faces to avoid damages on contact surfaces.
