1.1 General information

For safety reasons it is important to read all of the enclosed information (Installation guide, service manual, spare parts, operating instructions) before mounting this equipment. In addition, the legislation in force at the time of purchase must always be consid- ered in connection with installation and mounting of this equipment, no matter the contents of this manual. If there are matters of dispute please contact your dealer.
This equipment is produced and tested by specially qualified personnel according to approved instructions to ensure our high level of product quality. After the product is finished and tested it is manually inspected with the ultimate test carried out just before the prod- uct is released for shipping. To obtain our high level
of quality and long life we use stainless steel parts. These parts, in defiance of our manual inspections may still have some sharp edges, which can present a cut hazard. Therefore, it is advised always to use
protective gloves and show caution when installing the equipment

1.2 Preparation

Note: The pipeline must be rinsed through before the system is connected. See service manual

1.3 Placing/application

• Do not use the machine outdoors.
• The Booster must be placed in frost-free rooms only.
• Free space around the Booster: min 1000 mm.

1.4 Water supply

The supply line must be sized so that it can supply the minimum indicated pressure and water volume when connected to this equipment. When dimensioning the water supply. It is recommended to increase the available volume with 15-20% compared to the minimum requirements listed in the table.

Note: Recommended water hardness 14-18 dH°.
The equipment will operate with water hardness exciding this level however, descaling of pump system, injectors and like must be expected depending on use pattern and water quality.

1.5 Electric connection

Connection guide is mounted on the cable:
Always check direction of rotation.
Service switch:

A separate service switch must always be mounted before the unit.
Note! Installation always according to the country’s legislation.

1.6 Piping

The pipe system should be made of stainless steel pipes. The pipe joints should be made in a way that makes separation possible in case of eg. repairs, moving or similar.
All threads according to ISO 228
The dimensions stated are all indicative.
Always carry out calculations of the piping installation based on pressure charts for piping and fittings.

Note: 5/4” – 2” closing valve should be mounted on the water supply immediately before the Booster and dirt filter if any.

1.7 Assembly

Dimensions see fig.1.
Mount the Booster to the floor with the enclosed con – crete anchors.

Type BFE3

2.1 Description

BFE= Booster Economy
The Eco Booster is a complete pump station delivering pressure water to both the local cleaning station and some connected satellites. The Booster requires
sufficient supply water and electric supply according to the specification.
The unit is now ready for use.
The system is tested and approved for the use of Ecolab cleaning products. Use of other types might reduce the life time of sealings, hoses etc.

Important: Do not use the water from the system for other purposes than cleaning.
If the above instructions are not following the cleaning result might be affected

Warning

Do not change the settings made or recommended by the supplier of ygiene chemicals.
Detergents are supplied either from the User Pack System which can be ordered and delivered as an accessory or from separate standard cans.
Detergents are supplied either from the User Pack System, which can be ordered and delivered as an accessory or from separate standard cans.

Important: Do not use the water from the system for applications other than cleaning.

2.2 Maintenance

If the filter clogs, clean the filter or buy a new one. If the filter is defect get a new and complete strainer.
We recommend cleaning the booster like other equipment in the area.

2.2.1 Filter

Push “red button” on the operation panel to stop the booster.
Disconnect the main switch
Close the inlet water
Open an inlet in order to depressurize the system Remove the filter (A, Fig 8) and fill in the descaling product.
Rinse the cleaned filter thoroughly and mount it again.

2.2.2 Before a longer lasting production stop

If long production stops are planned (more than 6 months) and the pump is drained, it is recommended that the pump is secured as
follows:
Remove the coupling safety guard Spray a couple of drops of silicone oil into the axle between the top section and the coupling Carefully follow the instructions given in the manual provided by the pump supplier.

2.3 Start

2.3.1 New system
NOTE: the pump must be bled and filled with water before start up. In order to ensure a problem free start up of a new system the pipe system must be flushed and bled.

Bleeding the pipe system

1. Turn on the water supply to rinse and bleed the entire system. If satellites are installed open the tap furthest away until no air or dirt comes out.
   Then rinse and bleed the next tap and continue until the tap closest to you has been rinsed and bled.

Bleeding the pump

1. Turn off the engine (off). Loosen the relief plug (F, Fig 9) 1-2 times until water and air begin to flow out.
   Note. Never loosen the relief plug while the pump is running as this may damage the packaging and cause personal injury.

2. Tighten the relief plug again

3. Start the pump so that all remaining air pockets are forced up to the top of the pump.

4.  Stop the pump

5. Loosen the relief plug 1-2 times again and bleed the system until inly water flows out.

6. Tighten the relief plug once more.

2.4 Daily operation
