1: PUMP SPECS

VERSAMATIC E1 1-Inch Elima-Matic High Pressure Pump-6

Principle of Pump Operation

VERSAMATIC E1 1-Inch Elima-Matic High Pressure Pump-7

Air-Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) pumps are powered by compressed air or nitrogen.
The main directional (air) control valve ① distributes compressed air to an air chamber, exerting uniform pressure over the inner surface of the diaphragm ②. At the same time, the exhausting air ③ from behind the opposite diaphragm is directed through the air valve assembly(s) to an exhaust port ④.

As inner chamber pressure (P1) exceeds liquid chamber pressure (P2), the rod ⑤ connected diaphragms shift together creating discharge on one side and suction on the opposite side. The discharged and primed liquid’s directions are controlled by the check valves (ball or flap)⑥ orientation.
The pump primes as a result of the suction stroke. The suction stroke lowers the chamber pressure (P3) increasing the chamber volume. This results in a pressure differential necessary for atmospheric pressure (P4) to push the fluid through the suction piping and across the suction side check valve and into the outer fluid chamber ⑦.

Suction (side) stroking also initiates the reciprocating (shifting, stroking or cycling) action of the pump. The suction diaphragm’s movement is mechanically pulled through its stroke. The diaphragm’s inner plate makes contact with an actuator plunger aligned to shift the pilot signaling valve. Once actuated, the pilot valve sends a pressure signal to the opposite end of the main directional air valve, redirecting the compressed air to the opposite inner chamber.

SUBMERGED ILLUSTRATION

Pump can be submerged if the pump materials of construction are compatible with the liquid being pumped. The air exhaust must be piped above the liquid level. When the pumped product source is at a higher level than the pump (flooded suction condition), pipe the exhaust higher than the product source to prevent siphoning spills.

Recommended Installation Guide

Available Accessories:

  1. Surge Suppressor
  2. Filter/Regulator
  3. Air Dryer

VERSAMATIC E1 1-Inch Elima-Matic High Pressure Pump-9

Note: Surge Suppressor and Piping must be supported after the flexible connection.

CAUTION
The air exhaust should be piped to an area for safe disposition of the product being pumped, in the event of a diaphragm failure.

Installation And Start-Up
Locate the pump as close to the product being pumped as possible. Keep the suction line length and number of fittings to a minimum. Do not reduce the suction line diameter.

Air Supply
Connect the pump air inlet to an air supply with sufficient capacity and pressure to achieve desired performance. A pressure regulating valve should be installed to insure air supply pressure does not exceed recommended limits.

Air Valve Lubrication
The air distribution system is designed to operate WITHOUT lubrication. This is the standard mode of operation. If lubrication is desired, install an air line lubricator set to deliver one drop of SAE 10 non-detergent oil for every 20 SCFM (9.4 liters/sec.) of air the pump consumes. Consult the Performance Curve to determine air consumption.

Air Line Moisture
Water in the compressed air supply may cause icing or freezing of the exhaust air, causing the pump to cycle erratically or stop operating. Water in the air supply can be reduced by using a point-of-use air dryer.

Air Inlet And Priming
To start the pump, slightly open the air shut-off valve. After the pump primes, the air valve can be opened to increase air flow as desired. If opening the valve increases cycling rate, but does not increase the rate of flow, cavitation has occurred. The valve should be closed slightly to obtain the most efficient air flow to pump flow ratio.

Troubleshooting Guide

Symptom: Potential Cause(s): Recommendation(s):
Pump Cycles Once Deadhead (system pressure meets or exceeds air supply
pressure). Increase the inlet air pressure to the pump. Pump is designed for

1:1 pressure ratio at zero flow.

IMPORTANT!

Read these instructions c om pl et el y, before installation and start-up. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to retain this manual for reference. Failure to comply with t he recommendations stated in this manual will damage the pump, and void factory warranty.

SERVICE

The following sections give a general overview on how to service all models of BLAGDON Diaphragm Pumps. For details on individual part numbers, quantities, materials, etc., please consult the parts list supplied with the pump.

NOTE: Before commencing any service or maintenance work on the pump, ensure that the air supply has been disconnected or isolated.

AIR VALVE SYSTEMS
PNEUMATIC TYPE Remove the 4 screws securing the valve block to the valve chest, together with any associated gaskets or seals.
Remove slide valve plate & slide valve from the valve block assembly. Clean all parts thoroughly and inspect for excessive wear, replacing where necessary.
The slide valve and valve plate contact faces should be flat and free from scratches. A light polishing on a flat surface with a fine abrasive paper will remove most scratches.
If excessive wear is suspected in the valve block bore or valve carrier, remove the valve block plugs and withdraw the valve carrier. Check valve block plug o-rings for wear or attack & replace where required.
Clean the valve carrier & valve block bore with white spirits to remove any oil films.
NOTE: The nom ina l diametrical clearance between the valve carrier and the valve block bore should be 0.05 – 0.09mm. A clearance in excess of this will cause the valve system to run erratically.
Apply a light grease to the valve block plug O-rings when re-assembling into the valve block bore. Any damage to the O-ring may cause the valve system to malfunction.
Re-assemble the valve block assembly & re-torque in accordance to the settings shown in the parts list.
In the event of a complete air-side overhaul, the pump should be disassembled down to the centre section assembly as described later in the “Wet-Side Overhaul” section.

With the valve block assembly dismantled, remove the inner covers where appropriate.
A careful note of the position of all related seals and gaskets should be made to facilitate re-assembly.
Remove diaphragm shaft bushes, where appropriate, and check all seals and ‘O’ rings for wear or damage. If worn, rep lac e immediately.
NOTE:- The integrity of the diaphragm shaft seals is essential for the correct functioning of all pneumatically actuated valve systems.
Check the diaphragm shaft for excessive wear as this will result in premature seal failure. Replace as required. Lubricate all components and re-assemble as detailed above, in reverse order. Ensure the correct position of all components detailed in all sectional assembly drawings.

WET-SIDE OVERHAUL
REPLACING BALL VALVES Remove discharge manifold from pump assembly together with associated valve balls, seats and ‘O’ rings.
NOTE: The orientation of the valve seat relative to the valve ball should be noted as incorrect positioning may result in a performance loss.
Turn pump through 180o and remove the suction manifold. Clean and inspect the components. Check for any wear or damage and replace as required.

NOTE: Ball or valve seat wear may result in loss of performance and suction lift.
Re-assemble the valve balls/seats and ensure manifolds are adequately torqued to the settings shown in the parts list.

REPLACE NG DIAPHRAGMS Remove both suction and discharge manifolds as detailed in the previous section, removing all ball valves, seats and ‘O’ rings.
Loosen and remove both outer covers from the pump assembly. The orientation of the covers should be noted so as to facilitate re-assembly.
Holding one of the frontplates in a vice, (‘soft jaws’ should be fitted), or with an adjustable spanner, loosen and remove the frontplate from the opposite end. Remove the diaphragm, backplate and bumpstop from diaphragm shaft.
Carefully withdraw the diaphragm shaft from the centre section and hold the free end in a vice, holding between the flats machined on the end. Loosen and remove the frontplate and remove the diaphragm together with backplate and bumpstop (where fitted).

NOTE: Care should be taken with all plastic, coated and hygienic pumps, so that the surface of the frontplate is not damaged.
Thoroughly clean all parts and check for wear, damage, swelling, cracking, delamination and chemical attack.
Replace components where required.

NOTE: Rubber diaphragms should be replaced if they are worn to such an extent that the fabric re-enforcing is evident on the surface of the diaphragm.
For pumps fitted with PTFE diaphragms, a light coating of grease should be applied to the backup diaphragm prior to re-assembly.
Before re-assembly, it is advisable to check the condition of the diaphragm shaft seal/’O’ rings for wear or attack. If either is evident, it is recommended that they be replaced.
Assemble the diaphragms onto the shaft in a reverse sequence to their removal. Care should be taken as to the orientation of the diaphragm relative to the front and back plates. All diaphragms have “AIR SIDE” molded onto one side. The backplate must be fitted adjacent to the AIR SIDE of the diaphragm.
