How to maintain and upkeep sewage pumps
In the process of daily operation of sewage pumps, if not properly maintained and serviced, various malfunctions may occur, affecting normal production. The maintenance and upkeep of sewage pumps include the following points:
(1) Check for any looseness in the sewage pump pipeline and joints. Rotate the sewage pump by hand to see if it is flexible.
(2) Add bearing lubricating oil into the bearing body, and observe that the oil level is at the centerline of the oil gauge. The lubricating oil should be replaced or replenished in a timely manner.
(3) Unscrew the water inlet plug of the sewage pump body and inject water (or slurry).
(4) Close the gate valve, outlet pressure gauge, and inlet vacuum gauge of the water outlet pipeline.
(5) Tap the motor and try to see if the motor direction is correct.
(6) Start the motor, when the sewage pump is running normally, open the outlet pressure gauge and the inlet vacuum pump to see if they display appropriate pressure, gradually open the gate valve, and check the motor load condition at the same time.
(7) Try to control the flow rate and head of the sewage pump within the range indicated on the label to ensure that the sewage pump operates at its highest efficiency point, in order to achieve energy-saving effects. (8) During the operation of the sewage pump, the bearing temperature should not exceed 35 degrees Celsius of the ambient temperature, and the maximum temperature should not exceed 80 degrees Celsius.
(9) If any abnormal noise is found in the sewage pump, it should be stopped immediately to check the cause.
(10) When the sewage pump needs to be stopped, first close the gate valve and pressure gauge, and then stop the motor.
(11) During the first month of operation of the sewage pump, the lubricating oil should be replaced after 100 hours, and then every 500 hours thereafter.
(12) Regularly adjust the packing gland to ensure normal dripping inside the packing chamber (preferably in droplets).
(13) Regularly check the wear of the shaft sleeve, and replace it promptly if there is significant wear.
(14) When the sewage pump is used in the cold winter season, after parking, the drain plug at the bottom of the pump body should be unscrewed to drain the medium completely. Prevent frost cracking.
(15) If the sewage pump is not in use for a long time, it is necessary to disassemble the entire pump, dry off the water, and apply grease to the rotating parts and joints before installation.
Pumps need to be divided into two aspects: electrical and mechanical. For the mechanical aspect, it is mainly known by comparing the previous maintenance records. Secondly, in terms of electricity, it is necessary to understand the power of each pump motor and have a certain understanding of its control system. Suitable for pumping liquids containing fibers or other suspended solids below 80, for use in cities, industrial and mining areas, enterprises, sewage and feces discharge, as well as pumping some aquatic products. If ordering liquids that transport acidic, alkaline, or other corrosive chemical mixtures containing multiple salts, please specify. The factory can supply pumps assembled with corrosion-resistant materials
