| M01 General Instructions for All Pumps Jan 07.doc 

Warnings Personnel injury and / or equipment damage could result from not observing the following IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.    A pump is both a pressure vessel   and a piece of rotating equipment . All standard safety precautions for such equipment should be followed before and during installation, operation and maintenance.   For auxiliary equipment  (motors, belt drives, couplings, gear reducers, variable speed drives, mechanical seals, etc) all related safety precautions should be followed and appropriate instruction manuals consulted before and during installation, operation, adjustment   and maintenance.    All guards  for rotating equipment must be correctly fitted before operating the pump including guards temporarily removed for gland inspection and adjustment. Seal guards should not be removed or opened while the pump is running. Personal injury may result from contact with rotating parts, seal leakage or spray.   Driver rotation must b e checked checked  before belts or couplings are connected.   Pumps must not be operated at low or zero flow conditions  for prolonged periods, or under any circumstances that could cause the pumping liquid to vaporise. Personnel injury and equipment damage could result from the high temperature and pressure created.   Pumps must be used only within their allowable limits  of pressure, temperature and speed. These limits are dependent on the pump type, configuration and materials used.   Do not apply heat heat to t he impeller boss or  nose in an effort to loosen the impeller thread prior to impeller removal. Personnel injury and equipment damage could result from the impeller shattering or exploding when the heat is applied.   Do not feed very hot or very cold liquid into a pump   which is at ambient temperature. Thermal shock may cause the pump casing to crack.   •

















LIFTING of components

  Tapped holes (for eye bolts) and lugs (for lifting shackles) on Warman pumps are for



only . lifting Individual parts only.

  Lifting devices devices of adequate adequate capacity capacity must be used used wherever wherever they are are required to be



  used. Safe workshop practices should be applied during all assembly and maintenance work.   Personnel must never work under suspended loads.   The pump must be fully isolated   before any maintenance work, inspection or troubleshooting involving work on sections which are potentially pressurised (eg casing, gland, connected pipework) or involving work on the mechanical drive system (eg shaft, bearing assembly, coupling). Power to the electric motor must be isolated and tagged out. It must be proven that the intake and discharge openings are totally isolated from all potentially pressurised connections and that they are and can only be exposed to atmospheric pressure.   •

Castings   made from materials listed are brittle and have low thermal shock resistance.  Attempts to repair or rebuild by welding may cause catastrophic catastrophic failure. Repairs of such castings using these methods must not be attempted - A03, A04, A05, A06, A07, A08, A09,  A12, A14, A49, A51, A52, A53, A53, A61, A210, A211, A217, A217, A218, A509.

  Impellers  must be tight t ight on the shaft before any start-up, ie all components on the shaft between the impeller and the pump end bearing must butt metal to metal against each other without any gap. Note that gaps may form when the pump experiences duty conditions conducive to unscrewing of the impeller, such as excessive runback, high intake pressure, motor braking etc.   Burning  of elastomer pump components will cause emission of toxic fumes and result in air •

FOUNDATIONS Efficient pumpSteel service can be should obtained by concrete installing foundations the pump on adequate foundations. foundations be only robust, heavy. Both should be designed to take all loads from the pump and motor and to absorb any vibrations. All holding down bolts bolts should be fully fully tightened. The pump should be located such that the length of the intake pipe is as short as possible.  Adequate space to provide access for installation and dismantling to replace worn components should be allowed.  A suggested procedure procedure for aligning and grouting Warman Base plates is given on Warman Drawing A3-100-0-19810 attached. Where a pump base is mounted directly onto a steel framework this should be designed with sufficient strength to withstand normal pumping operational stress and to ensure that there is no distortion to the base frame when the pump and pump base are installed. Shaft Sha ft Ali gnment

Whether direct coupled or vee-belt driven, the pump and motor shafts should be accurately aligned. In direct coupled drives, misalignment causes unnecessary vibration and wear of the coupling. In vee-belt drives, drives, non-parallel shafts shafts cause excessive excessive be beltlt wear. Rigid couplings couplings must be avoided. It should be noted that pump sets which have been accurately aligned in the factory can become misaligned during transportation so alignment must be rechecked during installation. Vee-belt and flexible transmissions should be aligned (and tensioned) in accordance with the suggested recommendations below. Direct coupling large pumps to diesel prime movers must also be avoided as sudden stoppage of the diesel can cause unscrewing of the pump impeller and consequent pump damage. A clutch or fluid coupling coupling fitted between the pump pump and diesel prim prime e mover is

recommended.  Al ig nment nm ent,, Tens io ning ni ng and Ad ju st men mentt o f Vee-B Vee-Belt elt Dri Drives ves

For optimum performance of Vee-Belts, only new matched sets of belts should be used (belts should lie within a range of of 2 to 4 set numbers according to the belt leng length). th). Always place belts with the lowest code numbers closest to the bearings. Clean any oil or grease from the pulleys and remove any burrs and rust from the grooves before fitting belts.  ALIGNMENT: Good alignment of pulleys is important; otherwise the belt flanks will wear

quickly. Reduce the centre distance by jacking the motor towards the pump using the jacking bolts supplied, until the belts can be put onto the pulley grooves without forcing.

Use a good straight straight edge across across both motor motor and pump pulley pulley faces. It is important to align the two pulleys to a tolerance whereby daylight is non existent or at a minimum between the pulleys and the straight edge. WARNING  AFTER PUMP IMPEL LER ADJUSTMENTS A DJUSTMENTS RECHECK THE PULL EY AL IGNMENT  AND A DJUST A S NECESSARY B EFORE RESTARTING THE PUMP TENSIONING:

Proper tensioning of the belts ensures a longer life both for the belts and the roller bearings. The high performance required from modern belts cannot be achieved without correct tensioning.. To check the belt for correct tensioning refer to figure below and proceed as tensioning follows: (a)

Measure the length of span

(b)

Apply a force at right angles angles to the belt at the centre o off the span ssufficient ufficient to deflect one belt by 16 mm per metre of span

(c)

Compare the force force required with the value value stated in the table.

If the measured force is within the values stated in the table the belt tensioning should be satisfactory.. If the force measured is below satisfactory below or above the vvalue alue stated, the belt should be tightened tightene d or slackened respectively. Provision should be made for periodic checking of belt wear during the life of a belt and adjusting the belts to correct tension as necessary. NOTE: New belts should be tensioned at the higher level stated (using a Vee-Belt Tension Indicator) to allow for a drop drop in tension durin during g the normal running running in period. New belts should be run under load for two hours, stopped, and the tension re-checked, resetting the adjustment adjustment to achieve the correct tensi tension on as necessary. During the first 24 hours running, it is recommended that a further check is carried out and the belts adjusted as required. Under tensioning: Under tensioning of the drive can cause vibration resulting in damage

to the bearing cartridge, cartridge, as well as the loss of transmis transmission sion efficiency. efficiency. It can also cause the belts to slip and overheat, resulting in belt fatigue and subsequently a shortening of the belt life.

Over tensioning:   Over tensioning belts also shortens shortens their lilife. fe. Furthermore, bearings

will tend to overheat due to excessive radial forces on the rolling elements and this will lead to premature bearing failure.  ADJUSTMENT

 After new belts have been fitted or a new installation has been completed, when the drive has been running for approximately 2 hours the tension of the belts should be re-checked and re-adjusted. The drive should be subsequently checked at regular maintenan maintenance ce intervals.

 Al ig nment nm ent of Dir ect Cou pl ed Pu mp s

In a direct coupled drive, misalignment causes unnecessary vibration and wear on the bearings. Rigid couplings couplings (ie couplings couplings that bolt directly together without without any flexible member in between) should be avoided and must not be used without consultation with Weir Minerals Division. The following procedures procedures outline a sugg suggested ested practice for checking checking shaft alignm alignment. ent. This method is independent of the truth of the coupling or shaft and is therefore not affected by canted coupling faces or eccentricity of the outside diameter of the coupling. CAUTION CHECK THAT NO DAMAGE CAN BE CAUSED WHEN THE SHAFT OF THE DRIVEN UNIT IS TURNED

Before commencing alignment rotate each shaft independently to check that the shaft and bearings turn without undue friction and that the shaft is true to within 0.04 mm or better as measured on a Dial Indicator (DI). Couplings shouldDial be loosely coupled, each halfbemust be free to movetightly relativefittin to gthepins other or the resulting Indicator readings readings can incorrect. Where fitting or springs prevent loose coupling, the pins or springs should be removed, a line scribed across both half half couplings and the readings readings taken only when the two are aligned. aligned. On couplings with a serrated rim, ensure that as the couplings are rotated, the gauge plungers do not fall into a groove and become damaged.  An gu lar sh aft ali gn men t : To ensure correct angular shaft alignment proceed as follows:

(a)

Isolate the driving unit from the power supply.

(b)

Refer to the left hand figure figure below below and clamp two Dial Dial Indicato Indicators rs (DI) at diametric diametrically ally opposite points (180°) on one half coupling, with the plungers resting on the back of the other half coupling.

(c)

Rotate the couplings until the gauges are in line ver vertically, tically, and set the gauges to read zero.

(d)

Rotate the couplings through half half a revolution revolution (180°) and and record record the reading on each each DI. The readings readings should be be identical though though not necessarily necessarily zzero ero because because of possible end float. Either positive or negative negative readings are acceptable acceptable provided they are equally positive positive or equally negative. negative. Refer to the paragraphs paragraphs below hea headed ded "Tolerances" for the maximum allowable tolerance and adjust the position of one of the units if necessary. necessary.

(e)

Rotate the couplings until the gauges are in line horizontally and reset the gauges to read zero.

(f)

Repeat operation (d) and and adjust adjust the unit position position until the correct tolerance is achieved and no further adjustment is necessary.

Radial shaft alignment:

To ensure that radial shaft alignment is correct proceed as

follows: (a)

Clamp a DI to one half coupling coupling or to the shaft, shaft, as shown in right hand portion of figure below, with the plunger resting on the rim of the other half coupling.

(b)

Set the gauge to read zero.

(c)

Rotate the couplings and note the reading at each quarter revolution (90°). Any variation in the readings indicates a deviation from alignment and the position of one of the units must be adjusted until the readings at each quarter revolution are identical or within the tolerances tolerances given. Refer to p paragraph aragraphss below headed "Tolerances".

NOTE: Provisional alignment can be carried out with the unit cold; however, where the working temperature of the pump has the effect of raising the centre line of one machine relative to the other other allowances must be made. The units should then be realigned when each have attained their correct operating temperature.

Follow the manufacturer’s manufacturer’s recommendation. recommendation. If no rrecommenda ecommendation tion is available the limits of accuracy within which adjustments must be made cannot be specifically specifical ly defined because of differences in the size of and speed speed of units. However, the following variations which can be tolerated when checking alignment and are suggested as a general guidance. Tolerances:

Pipework

Pipelines and valves should be properly aligned with pump flanges and they should be supported independently independently of the pump. pump. All pipe design should should be on the basis of zero pump flange loading - if this condition cannot be achieved then values for the maximum allowable external loads and moments on the pump flanges is available from Weir Minerals Division.  APPROPRIATE WARMAN JOINT RINGS (when required) MUST BE USED AT THE PUMP FLANGES. FLANGES. THE JOINT JOINT RINGS FORM AN EFFECTIVE SEAL SEAL BETWEEN PIPEWORK AND PUMP CASING. In some pum pumps, ps, the metal liner liner projec projects ts a short distance past the flange. flange. Care should be taken taken in such instances instances not to over tighten the flange bolts so as not to damage the joint rings.  A removable piece of pipe should be used on the intake side of the pump. This pipe should be of sufficient length to allow removal of the pump cover plate or casing and to enable access to pump wearing parts and impeller. Removal of the intake pipe is facilitated if a flexible joint is used in place of the flanged connection. All pipe joints must be be airtight to ensure priming priming of the pump. pump. Recommendations and procedures for inter-stage piping for multi-stage installations are available from Weir Minerals Division. Flanges

Matching flanges on the pump intake and discharge must be flush as shown on attached drawing A4-111-1-121595. A4-111-1-121595. Keeping flanges flush is important important in providing proper backup backup support and compression for intake and discharge joint rings to prevent leakage. Warman Intake and Discharge slip-on matching flanges can be supplied on request. Intake Conditi Conditi ons

Suitable isolation should be fitted in the intake pipe as near near to the pump as possible. The intake pipe should be as short as possible. An arrangement of intake pipework which is common to two or more more pumps operating operating on suction lift is not recommended recommended.. If such an arrangement is unavoidable any points of possible air ingress, such as valve glands should be liquid sealed and isolating valves should be fitted at appropriate points. The diameter of the intake pipe required depends upon its length and bears no fixed relationship to the diameter diameter of the intake branch of the pum pump. p. The size of the pipe must be such that the velocity is kept to a minimum, but above the solids particle critical settling velocity to reduce friction losses, i.e. a long intake pipe, (or one with numerous bends) which passes a given quantity or liquid must be of larger bore than a short straight one passing the same quantity of liquid.

When the bore of the intake pipe is increased to a size larger than that of the pump intake branch, the form of taper pipe used must not allow the formation formation of air pockets. To avoid air pockets, the installation of intake pipework must be arranged with as few bends as possible and the pipework must be completely airtight.

OPERATION General

The principle requirements for operation of Warman pumps are as follows:   Priming arrangements to raise water in the intake pipe pipe and fill the pump.   Gland sealing water (on gland sealed pumps) provided at adequate pressure and flow.   Impellers adjusted to maintain maintain minimum clearance with front liner.   Wearing parts replaced replaced when p performance erformance falls falls below required operating operating pressure.   Volute liner seal and stuffing stuffing box seal maintained to pre prevent vent lleakage. eakage.   Grease purged labyrinths (where used) used) lubricated lubricated regularly regularly to prolong bearing bearing life by excluding dust and dirt from the bearing assembly. •











WARNING ENSURE THAT THAT A LL GUARDS ARE IN PL ACE A AND ND SECURE PRIOR PRIOR TO OPERATING OPERATING THE PUMP Shaft Seal

For gland sealed pumps, check gland water is available and that it is of sufficient quantity and at the correct pressure. Gland water pressure should be approximately approximat ely 35 kPa above the pump discharge pressure. Gland water pressure should generally not be higher than 200 kPa above the pump discharge pressure, otherwise reduced gland life could result. Slacken off gland and and adjust it so that a sma smallll flow is obtained along along the shaft. Note that pumps supplied directly from Weir Minerals factories usually have tight glands to minimise shaft vibration during transport. WARNING  ANY A DJUSTMENT OF THE GLA ND SHOULD ONLY ONL Y BE CA RRIED OUT WHILE THE PUMP IS STOPPED TO AVOID POTENTIAL INJURY FROM ROTATING PARTS

For centrifugally sealed pumps, screw the grease cup down a few turns to charge the static seal chamber with grease. Supplement M8 contains further information on Centrifugally sealed pumps and supplement M9 contains further information on Gland sealed pumps. Technical Bulletin number 27 and Appendix A contains general information and application guidelines on the three main types of shaft seal – Gland, Centrifugal and Mechanical Seals.  Appendix A in this manual contains some specific information pertaining to mechanical seals. 23/01/2007

For transport of Warman pumps the bearings can be locked to prevent vibration and consequent conseque nt damage. Note that it is not absolutely critical critical to lock the bearings as small movements help help to prevent false brinelling. Clamping is done done by attachin attaching g the shaft clamp to the shaft. shaft. A set screw screw in the handle of the clamp is then screw screwed ed up hard against the pump base to lock lock the bearings. Alternatively, the pump is supplied supplied with the vee-belts tensioned to reduce shaft movement. Before use of the pump, the set screw must be removed to free the bearings or alternatively the vee-belt vee-belt tension must be ch checked ecked and adjusted adjusted if necessary. necessary. The shaft should then be rotated by hand (clockwise) by means of the clamp to ensure that the impeller turns freely within within the pump. At any sign of scraping scraping noises from the pump, pump, the impeller must be adjusted (see Assembly and Maintenance Instructions for the particular TYPE of Warman pump). pump). The shaft clamp clamp must then be removed. removed. Motor Rotation Check

Normal Pump Start Up

Check once once more that all bolts are are tight and that the impeller impeller turns freely. freely. Ensure that shaft seal is in order and that pressure of gland water supply, where used, is correct. It is good practice whenever possible to start up pumps on water before introducing solids or slurry into the stream. stream. On shutting down down it is also desirable desirable that pumps should should be allowed to pump water only for a short period before shut down. Open intake valve (if any) any) and check that water is availab available le at the inlet. Check drai drain n valve (if any) is closed.

If a discharge valve is installed installed it is common common practice to close it for sstart tart up. This is however mandatory only in some special cases where the motor could overload. Start pump and run up to speed, if pump is on suction lift execute priming procedure for facilities provided. When the pump pump is primed, isolate prime fac facilities ilities (i (iff any). Open discharge valve. Check intake and discharge pressures (if gauges have been provided). Check flow rate by inspection of meters or pipe discharge. Check Gland leakage. leakage. If leakage is excessive excessive tighten gland nuts until flow is reduced to the required level. level. If leakage is insufficient insufficient and gland shows shows signs of heating, then try loosening gland nuts. nuts. If this is ineffective and the gland continues continues to heat up, the pump should be stopped stopped and the gland allowed allowed to cool. Gland nuts should should not be loosened to such an extent that the gland follower is allowed to disengage the stuffing box. WARNING  ANY A DJUSTMENT OF THE GLA ND SHOULD ONLY ONL Y BE CA RRIED OUT WHILE THE PUMP IS STOPPED TO AVOID POTENTIAL INJURY FROM ROTATING PARTS NOTE It is normal for gland leakage water to be hotter than the supply because it is conducting away the heat generated by friction in the gland.  gland.  

 At low pressures pressures (single stage operation) operation) very little leakage leakage is required and and it is possible to operate with only a small small amount of water issuing issuing from the g gland. land. It is not essential to stop a pump because of gland heating unless steam or smoke is produced. This difficulty is normally only experienced on initial start up on gland sealed pumps. When initial heat up of the gland is encountered, it is only necessary to start up -- stop -cool and start the pump two or three times before the packing beds in correctly and the gland operates satisfactorily. It is preferable at start to have too much leakage than not enough.  After the pump has run for 8-10 hours, gland bolts can be adjusted to give optimum leakage. persists, the packin packing g should be removed removed and the glan gland d repacked. If heating of gland persists, Warman pumps are normally packed with non-asbestos packing, Warman material code Q05, for general duties and pressures pressures up to 2000 kPa. Above 2000 kPa it is us usually ually necessary to use an anti-extrusion ring between the gland follower and the last ring of packing. High pressure packing recommendat recommendations ions are available from Weir Minerals Division.

For multi-stage installations it is usually necessary to time the starting of the second and subsequent stage pumps to prevent motor overload. Recommendations Recommendati ons and procedures for start up are available from Weir Minerals Division.  Ab no rm al St art Up

If the pump fails to prime, one or more of the following faults may be the cause: Blocked Intake Pipe

When the pump has not been operated for some time, it is possible for slurry to settle in the intake pipe or around it if operating from a pit and thereby prevent water rising to the pump impeller. The pressure gauge gauge on the intake side of the pump may be us used ed to check the level of water in the pump.  Ai r En ter in g Gland Gl and

If one of the following conditions applies, air may be induced into the pump through the

gland. This may prevent prevent the pump "picking "picking up" its prime or cause it to loss its prime during operation.

Sealing water pressure too low Packing is excessively worn Shaft sleeve is excessively worn Gland sealing water connection into stuffing box is bl blocked. ocked.

Inspection of the gland will readily reveal if above faults are occurring and remedial action is self evident. Operating Faults

Refer to the FAULT FINDING CHART at the back of this Supplement to determine the most likely cause cause of any problems. Some of the major faults that can oc occur cur are more fully detailed below. Overloading can occur when the pump is discharging into an empty system when the delivery head will be temporarily lower and the throughput in excess of that for which the pump is designed. Careful regulation of the delivery delivery valve until the system is fully charged will prevent this. WARNING PUMPS THAT ARE NOT FITTED WITH A LEAK-OFF DEVICE MUST NOT BE RUN FOR A LONG PERIOD AGAINST A CLOSED DISCHARGE DISCHARGE VAL VE Low Pit Level Level

Pumps (or first stage pumps in a multi-stage installation) may lose their prime if air is induced through through the gland. Pumps may also lose their their prime if the water level in the pit falls sufficiently low to allow air to be induced into the pump intake by vortex action. In order to obtain the best possible pump operation, sump (or hopper) makeup water controls should be arranged to maintain as high a level in the sump (or hopper) as

runback requirements will allow and should be arranged to maintain this level within as close limits as is practical. Blocked Intake Pipe

It is possible during operation of pump for a piece of foreign material to be drawn across the bottom of the intake pipe and thereby thereby cause a partial obs obstruction. truction. Such an obstruc obstruction tion may not be sufficient to stop operation completely but will result in a reduced output from the pump. It will also cause a drop in discharge pressure and amps, and will increase the vacuum reading on the pump intake. Rough running and vibration of the pump may also occur due to the high induced suction causing cavitation within the pump. Block ed Impeller Impeller

Impellers are capable capable of passing a certain certain size particle particle.. If a particle larger in size enters enters the intake pipe it may become lodged in the eye of the impeller thereby restricting the output of the pump. Such an obstruc obstruction tion will usually result in a drop of amps and a drop in both discharge discharge pressure and and intake vacuum vacuum readings. Pump vibrations will will also occur due to the out of balance effects. WARNING BEFORE APPLYING MANUAL TORQUE TO THE PUMP SHAFT ENSURE THAT THE INTAKE A ND DISCHARGE LINES ARE ISOLATED AND THAT THA T THE MOTOR MOTOR IS

DISCONNECTED Block ed Discharge Pipe

Blocked discharge pipe may be caused by abnormally high concentration of coarse particles in the pump discharge pipe or by the velocity in the discharge pipe being too low to adequately transport the solids. Such a blockage will be shown up by a rise in discharge pressure and a drop in amps and intake vacuum readings. Shutting Down Procedure

Whenever possible, the pump should be allowed to operate on water only for a short period to clear any slurry through the system before shut down. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

MAINTENANCE Running Maintenance General

Warman pumps are of robust construction and when correctly assembled and installed, they will give long trouble-free t rouble-free service service with a minimum amount of maintenance. The only maintenance required for pumps is as follows:        









Gland adjustment Gland re-packing Impeller adjustment Tightening down



  Possible periodic greasing of Bearings Shaft Seal Care Gland

The gland sealing water supply should be steady as pressure fluctuations will make gland adjustment for optimum performance difficult. Glands must be adjusted to provide reasonable leakage when seal water pressure is at a minimum and therefore when this pressure pressure rises leakage leakage will necessarily be excessive. excessive. If glands are adjusted to provide optimum leakage at the higher seal water pressures, insufficient lubrication will be obtained when this pressur pressure e falls.

The gland sealing water should be as clean as possible as even small amounts of solids can quickly wear gland components. Refer to recommendations of gland water quality in the respective Gland Maintenance Manuals. Requirements for gland operation on the first stage of a multi-stage installation are different from the other stages. For the second and succeeding stages the gland water is only required to flush slurry away from the shaft sleeve and provide provide lubrication for the gland packing. Gland water for the first stage pumps as well as carrying out the above functions must also pressurise the gland to prevent ingress of air when the pressure at the shaft falls below atmospheric. Check periodically gland seal water supply and discharge. Always maintain a very small amount of clean water water leakage along the sshaft haft by regularly adjusting adjusting the gland. When gland adjustment is no longer possible replace all packings with new ones. Gland sealing water requirements can be reduced to a minimum using Warman Low Flow Lantern Restrictors (Warman basic part Nº 118-1).

Centrifugal

In centrifugally sealed pumps lubricate the static seal chamber sparingly but regularly by means of the grease cup. Two turns of the grease cup per 12 hours running time is recommended to form an adequate seal at the packing rings, to lubricate the gland packing and to enable them them to run run in a dry condition. Use o only nly reco recommended mmended clean lubricant. Repacking Gland

When gland packing has deteriorated to such an extent that no further adjustment can be obtained by tightening down the gland follower, it is not good practice to attempt to correct this by inserting one new ring of packing on top of the old rings. When the gland follower has reached the limit of its travel all the old packing should be removed from the gland and the gland repacked with new packing. To repack a gland the gland bolts and gland clamp bolts should be taken out and the two halves of the gland follower removed from the pump. Old packing may then be removed and the stuffing box recess cleaned out. It is not necessary to remove the lantern restrictor during this operation. Rings of new packing packing should then then be placed in posi position tion and tamped home one ring at a time, making sure that the ends of each ring come hard together and joints in successive rings are staggered around the stuffing box. Gland halves may then be replaced, secured with clamp bolts and nipped down with gland bolts. Nuts on gland bolts should should then be slacke slacked d off and left finger tight until pump is started. After start-up glands maybe maybe adjusted until leakage leakage is at the required flow rate. These glands are designed for water lubrication and some leakage is necessary during operation to lubricate lubricate and cool the packing packing and shaft sleeve. sleeve. Gland leakage a att all times must be clean and free from from solids. If there is any sign of slurry slurry leaking from a gland then then one of the following must be occurring:  Gland sealing water pressure is too low   Gland packing and/or shaft sleeve requires replacement



• •

  Gland sealing water connection to stuffing box is blocked When a gland is being repacked during a complete pump overhaul it is easier to pack the

stuffing box and assemble the gland while the stuffing box is out of the pump (refer to instructions in the particular Warman Instruction Supplement depending on the TYPE of pump). The lantern restrictor, packing and gland maybe assembled into the stuffing box with the shaft sleeve in position position in the stuffing box. The stuffing box, assembled assembled gland and and shaft sleeve may then be fitted to the pump as one unit. Impellerr Adjust ment Impelle

Warman pump performance changes with the clearance existing between an open Impeller and the intake side liner. liner. This is less pronoun pronounced ced with closed Impellers. Impellers. With wear, the clearance increases and the pump efficiency drops. For best performance it is necessary, therefore, to stop the pump occasionally and move the impeller forward (this applies to metal, rubber and high efficiency style impellers). This adjustment can be

carried out in a few minutes without without any dismantling. The correct setting setting of the impeller is when the clearance between the impeller and the intake side liner is a minimum.

Tightening Down

 Although Warman pump impellers are balanced before they leave the works, precise balance cannot be achieved in operation because of uneven wear which can take place. Pumps are therefore subject to some vibration while running and this can result in loosening of some bolts. It is recommended recommended therefore therefore that that a routine maintenance program be established whereby a check is made at regular intervals to ensure that all nuts are tight. To avoid any possible possible movement between between the Bearing Assem Assembly bly and the Base, the Bearing Housing Housing Clamp Bolt must be maintained fully tighten tightened. ed. (See Table 1)  A convenient time for this check to be carried out would be at the same time as impeller adjustment is made. If any location is found where where bolts consistently consistently loosen then 'Ny 'Nylock' lock' nuts or other suitable locking devices should be fitted. Labyrinth Grease Grease Purging

To improve the sealing properties of the labyrinths on the end covers of some types of Warman bearing assemblies, grease purging is utilised to purge out grit and moisture. Less contaminant entering the bearing assembly will result in longer bearing life and ultimately cost savings. Therefore careful attention attention paid to labyrinth p purging urging is an essential maintenance requirement. Full details are given in the relevant Warman Bearing Assembly Instruction Supplement. Supplement. Bearing Lubrication

 A correctly assembled assembled and pre-greased pre-greased bearing bearing assembly will will have a long trouble free life, provided it is protected against ingress of water or other foreign matter and that it is adequately maintained.

Suggested regreasing intervals are tabulated in the relevant supplement depending on the type of bearing assembly in use.

BA

maintenance

It must be left to the good judgement of maintenance personnel, to open bearing housings at regular intervals (not longer than twelve months) to inspect bearings and grease, to determine the effectiveness of the re-lubrication program and to make any adjustments to the program for the period up to the next inspection. In the case of infrequent bearing regreasing being required, the bearing assembly grease plug can be temporary replaced with grease nipples at the t he time of greasing.

If a regular addition of grease is judged to be necessary, then the plugs on the bearing assembly should be replaced with grease nipples. It is preferable to lubricate often and sparingly, than to add large amounts amounts at long intervals. intervals. Bearings must must never be ov over er greased. Use only recommended, clean grease. For oil lubricated bearings, it is recommended that a full oil change is carried out every 6 months or 4,000 hours.  Additional information and recommendations recommendations on bearing lubrication intervals are contained in the relevant Warman Bearing Assembly Instruction Supplements and in the following sections 6.2.3 below. Overhaul Maintenance General

When the pump has worn to such an extent that the performance obtained no longer is satisfactory then the pump(s) should be dismantled for inspection and/or replacement of wearing parts (impeller and liners). If the bearing assembly requires maintenance, maintenance, then the pump wet end must be dismantled before the bearing assembly can be removed from the pump. NOTE: Bearing assemblies should only be reconditioned reconditio ned in a workshop preferably in a specific area set aside for the work. work. A clean environment environment is essential. Pump Dismantling

Isolate the pump from the system and wash wash down as much as poss possible. ible. Remove drive items as necessary after noting alignment of drive. Dismantling can be done in situ if suitable lifting facilities and working space are available otherwise the complete pump should be removed to a maintenance workshop. NOTE: (a)

It is recommended that bearing assemblies should only be dismantled and overhauled in the workshop.

(b)

When bearing components are removed from a pump, they should be identified with suitable tags so that if they are reused they may be replaced in the same position in the pump with their correct mating parts.

(c)

Bearing components which are an interference fit on the shaft should be removed only if replacement is necessary.

The procedure for removing the pump or bearing assembly is simply a reversal of the

assembly procedure as set out in the relevant Instruction Supplements for the pump and bearing assembly. Note that the pump must be dismantled before the bearing assembly can be removed for reconditioning. 23/01/2007

 All Warman pumps utilise a thread to fasten the impeller to the pump shaft. The larger pumps incorporate incorporate an impeller release collar to facilitate impeller remov removal. al. Full details can be found in Warman Supplement 'M2'. Inspection & Removal of Bearings

Since greasing requirements varybe with operating conditions and environment the following general recommendations should used as a guide. When new bearings are fitted or re-assembled after overhaul they should be correctly packed with grease. grease. It is then recommended that a systematic systematic program of of investigation be instituted in order to ascertain the following:   whether the grease addition is required between overhauls   how frequently frequentl y grease addition is required   what quantity of grease addition is required.

• •



Proposals regarding the amount and frequency are given in the relevant manual Supplements depending on pump speed.  A suggested program of investigation is briefly described below for the case of a number of the same pumps operating on similar or the same duties (i.e. the pumps have identical bearings). (a)

Start with two pumps with bearings correctly packed with grease

(b)

After a set number of hours (depending on the duty and environment) dismantle the bearing assembly of one pump and inspect condition and disposition of the grease

(c)

From inspection assess whether grease addition is required at this interval and if grease addition is not required assess whether the second pump can safely run to twice the set number of hours without greasing

(d)

By repeating this procedure on the remaining pumps in turn, the maximum time interval before re-greasing may be determined and it may be found possible to run pumps for the life of the wearing parts without re-greasing bearings bearings..

If these conditions can be achieved then bearing contamination is avoided and an overall saving in labour effected. It is recommended that a spare bearing assembly unit should be carried in store so that the assembly may be changed over when wearing parts are being replaced. The assembly taken out may then be reconditioned in the workshop ready for installation in the next drive assembly overhaul. With correct care and maintenance, deterioration of bearings should be detected during routine overhauls before malfunctions become obvious in operation. The criteria for examination of a bearing is contained in the question "Will the bearing operate until the next next overhaul?" Where there is any any doubt regarding th the e condition of a bearing it is far more economical to replace it while the pump is dismantled for overhaul than to risk a failure in operation which may result in damage to other parts of the pump.

When to Remove Bearings

Bearings should be renewed when any of the following faults are observed: (a)

Face of race is worn to such an extent that a detectable shoulder is evident at the edge of the rolling track

(b)

Cage is worn to such an extent that there is excessive slackness or burrs.

(c)

Any roughness or pitting of rollers or rolling track.

The rolling track will often be slightly darker (stained) than the unused portion of the race. This does not mean that the bearing has reached the end of its useful life provided no other symptoms are present. Removing Re moving Bearings Bearings

Care should be exercised during dismantling. When driving bearing cups out of the assembly with shaft and rollers, the shaft should be held hard in the direction of driving so that rollers are seated hard up against the face of the cup and the effects of impact on the bearing faces are thereby minimised. If inspection of bearings shows that they require replacement then a press or suitable puller should be set up to bear on the end of the shaft and on the bearings. When bearing components are removed from an assembly, they should be identified with suitable tags so that if they are reused they maybe replaced in the same position in the assembly with their correct mating parts. If any portion of a bearing required replacing then the bearing should be replaced in its entirety. Worn parts parts must not be mixed mixed with new new parts. A complete new bear bearing ing at one end of a bearing assembly may be installed with a used bearing at the other if required; however, if one bearing requires replacement, economics usually favour renewing the pair. Replacement of Wearing Parts

The wear rate of a solids handling pump is a function of the severity of the pumping duty and of the abrasive abrasive properties properties of the material handled. handled. Therefore, the lilife fe of wearing parts, such as impellers and liners, varies from pump to pump and from one installation to another.  As pump impellers and liners become worn the head developed by the pump decreases decreases..  As the head decreases a consequent drop in rate of discharge will occur. When the rate of discharge has fallen to such a level that either the required quantity of slurry cannot be discharged or the line velocity is too low for satisfactory transportation of the slurry then the pump(s) should be dismantled for inspection of impeller and liners. Replacement of the impeller only, will result in the pump regaining almost new pump performance. Whether liners require replacement should be assessed by estimati estimating ng whether the proportionate thickness remaining will provide reasonable further life before replacementt is required. replacemen

Where a pump is used on a particular duty for the first time and especially where failure of a wearing part during service could have serious consequences, it is recommended that the pump be opened at regular intervals, intervals, parts be inspected and their wear rate estimated so that the remaining life of the parts may be established. established. For installation of new wearing parts refer to relevant Warman Pump Supplement. Reassembling Re assembling Pump Overhaul

When pumps have been dismantled for complete overhaul all parts should be closely inspected and new parts checked for correct identification. Used parts being replaced should be thoroughly cleaned and painted. Mating faces should be free from rust, dirt and burrs and given a coat of grease before they are fitted together. It is preferable to renew small bolts and set screws during overhaul and all threads should be coated with graphite grease before reassembly. It is recommended that all rubber seals should be replaced during major overhauls as rubber tends to harden and seals lose their t heir effectiveness.

Remove transport clamps and loosen gland to release

Turn the shaft of the pump pump a quarter of a turn by by hand once per per week. In this way all the bearing rollers in turn are made to carry static loads and external external vibrations. Ensure that the rust preventing coat of the shaft drive end is maintained. Specific recommendations recommendations can be obtained from Weir Minerals Division. Spare Parts Parts

Spare parts for Warman pumps consist in the main of liners, impellers, bearings, shaft sleeves, seals seals and shaft seal parts. parts. Depending on the the expected life of ea each ch part, a number of spares of each should be kept in stock to ensure maximum use of the pump. In major plants it is usual to stock an additional bearing assembly for every ten (or less) pumps of the same size. size. This enables a quick change of the bearing assembly in any one of the pumps. Often this operation is carried carried out when wearing parts are bein being g replaced. The removed bearing assembly can then be inspected in a workshop, overhauled if required and kept ready for the next pump. In this way damage is prevented and all pumps are always kept in optimum condition with a minimum of down time.

3.

On no ac account count should the gland be loosened to such a an n extent that it disengages from the stuffing box. Putting more rings into a stuffing box when problems occur will will only be a sshort-term hort-term fix. Extra pack packing ing will exacerbate any general wear and eventually lead to excessive leakage. leakage. Corrosion by saline GSW may be minimised by the use of appropriate alloys. The leakage of saline GSW from the gland must be trapped and conveyed to waste to avoid corrosion of the pump base and other components.

Caution

1. Mechanical seals require a controlled and stable environment to ensure long and reliable operation. 2. The seal manufa manufacturers cturers operating operating and maintenance maintenance instructions instructions / procedures must be strictly adhered too. Note that these t hese instructions may include torque settings for the mechanic mechanical al seal locking collar. 3. The mechanic mechanical al seal warranty will most likely be voided voided if a failed seal has been subjected subjected to dry running, water hammer, low suction pressures or high suction lifts, cavitation, excess vibration, thermal shock, reverse rotation or dead-heading / low-flow conditions that are

linked to its failure. 4. Prior to operating for the first time, the mechanical seal setting tabs must be removed   and any flush or quench liquid connections checked that they will supply the required flow and pressure. Access to the mechanical seal is obtained by first removing the seal guard. 5. It is normally rec recommended ommended that impellers impellers without backvanes backvanes are are used for mechanical mechanical seals to reduce the flow and turbulence wear in the seal chamber.

Warnings Personnel injury and / or equipment damage could result from not observing the following IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.    A pump is both a pressure vessel   and a piece of rotating equipment . All standard safety precautions for such equipment should be followed before and during installation, operation and maintenance.   For auxiliary equipment  (motors, belt drives, couplings, gear reducers, variable speed drives, mechanical seals, etc) all related safety precautions should be followed and appropriate instruction manuals consulted before and during installation, operation, adjustment   and maintenance.    All guards  for rotating equipment must be correctly fitted before operating the pump including guards temporarily removed for gland inspection and adjustment. Seal guards should not be removed or opened while the pump is running. Personal injury may result from contact with rotating parts, seal leakage or spray.   Driver rotation must b e checked checked  before belts or couplings are connected.   Pumps must not be operated at low or zero flow conditions  for prolonged periods, or under any circumstances that could cause the pumping liquid to vaporise. Personnel injury and equipment damage could result from the high temperature and pressure created.   Pumps must be used only within their allowable limits  of pressure, temperature and speed. These limits are dependent on the pump type, configuration and materials used.   Do not apply heat heat to t he impeller boss or  nose in an effort to loosen the impeller thread prior to impeller removal. Personnel injury and equipment damage could result from the impeller shattering or exploding when the heat is applied.   Do not feed very hot or very cold liquid into a pump   which is at ambient temperature. Thermal shock may cause the pump casing to crack.   •

















LIFTING of components •

  lifting TappedIndividual holes (forparts eye bolts) only . and lugs (for lifting shackles) on Warman pumps are for only.

  Lifting devices devices of adequate adequate capacity capacity must be used used wherever wherever they are are required to be used.   Safe workshop practices should be applied during all assembly and maintenance work.   Personnel must never work under suspended loads.   The pump must be fully isolated   before any maintenance work, inspection or troubleshooting involving work on sections which are potentially pressurised (eg casing, gland, connected pipework) or involving work on the mechanical drive system (eg shaft, bearing assembly, coupling). Power to the electric motor must be isolated and tagged out. It must be proven that the intake and discharge openings are totally isolated from all potentially pressurised connections and that they are and can only be exposed to atmospheric pressure.   •

Castings   made from materials listed are brittle and have low thermal shock resistance.

 Attempts to repair or rebuild by welding may cause catastrophic catastrophic failure. Repairs of such castings using these methods must not be attempted - A03, A04, A05, A06, A07, A08, A09,  A12, A14, A49, A51, A52, A53, A53, A61, A210, A211, A217, A217, A218, A509.   Impellers  must be tight t ight on the shaft before any start-up, ie all components on the shaft between the impeller and the pump end bearing must butt metal to metal against each other without any gap. Note that gaps may form when the pump experiences duty conditions conducive to •

unscrewing of the impeller, such as excessive runback, high intake pressure, motor braking etc.   Burning  of elastomer pump components will cause emission of toxic fumes and result in air pollution which could lead to personnel injury.   Leakage from the pump shaft seals and/or leakage from worn pump components or seals may cause water and/or soil contamination. contamination.   Liquid waste disposal  from servicing of pumps or stagnant water from pumps stored for long periods, may cause water and/or soil contamination.   Do not apply anti-seize compounds   to the impeller or shaft threads or to elastomer seals during assembly. Anti-seize can greatly reduce the impeller thread friction and may cause the impeller to loosen during pump shut-down and run-back resulting in pump damage, or the elastomer seals to leak at reduced pressure.   This manual applies only to genuine Warman parts  and Warman recommended parts.   Mixing of new and worn pump parts  may increase the incidence of premature pump wear and leakage.   Large foreign objects or tramp  entering a pump will increase the incidence of higher wear and / or damage to the pump. Routine inspection and maintenance of mill trommel screens will assist to reduce the danger of grinding balls entering a mill discharge pump.   Large variations in slurry properties may lead to accelerated rates of wear and corrosion of pump components eg   Wear increases exponentially exponentia lly with velocity and slurry particle size.   Corrosion rate doubles for every 10 degree Celsius increase in slurry temperature. temperature .   Corrosion rate increases exponentially exponentiall y as slurry pH decreases. •

ASSEMB ASSEMBLY LY INSTRUCT INSTRUCTIONS IONS  A Components Diagram of the particular pump being assembled will assist in following the pump assembly instruction steps as detailed in the following sections. When pumps have been dismantled for complete overhaul, all parts should be closely inspected and new parts checked for correct identification. Used parts being replaced should be thoroughly cleaned and repainted where required. Mating faces and spigots should be free of rust, dirt and burrs and given a coat of grease before they are fitted together t ogether to assist future overhaul. It is preferable to renew small bolts and set screws during overhaul and all threads should be coated with with graphite grease be before fore assembly. It is also recommended recommended that all rubber seals should be replaced during major overhauls as rubber tends to harden and seals lose their effectiveness.

Fitting Expeller Ring, Neck and Lantern Rings, Packing, Shaft Sleeve, Shaft Sleeve ORings and Expeller - See Figures 4a, 4b and 7 For high seal (HS) expeller assemblies refer to Warman Manual Supplement M8. Two types of expeller ring are available - metal or elastomer. Metal expeller rings are generally fitted with packing. Elastomer expeller rings are recommended to be fitted with LIP SEALS ONLY   as

there is no provision for lubrication, and the elastomer cannot conduct heat away that would be generated by packing. Different methods are described below for assembling the centrifugal seal, depending on the size of the pump or pump frame. Either method can be used if it is found to be more suitable. Figures 4a and 4b illustrate the relative position of impeller release collar, sleeves, shaft sleeves, O-rings O-rings etc on the shaft. The particular arrang arrangement ement of these components vary from one pump to another. Table 2 lists components for a gland sealed sealed pump which are assembled onto the shaft in the order in which they are fitted commencing at the LABYRINTH (062) (062) at the pump pump end of the bearing bearing assembly. assembly. Pumps with similar arrangements are are grouped together. Generally the modified basic basic frames (CC, DD etc) will have the same shaft components as the basic frames (B, C, D, etc).

Impeller Ad jus tment - See Figures 13 & 6

In both METAL and RUBBER LINED PUMPS the impeller should just clear the front liner (throatbush).. This is particularly (throatbush) particularly important important for high efficiency efficiency impellers impellers without front front vanes (type HE and HN).  1.

Rotate shaft clockwise by hand and move bearing assembly forward (towards front liner) by tightening the rear nut on the ADJUSTING SCREW (001) until the impeller starts to rub on the front liner.

2.

Release the rear rear nut by one one sixth sixth of of a turn, then m move ove bearing assembly back by means of front nut until housing touches the rear lug. NOTE

Impeller adjustment adjustment is a key key element in extending the wear wear life. Field tests on certain pumps indicate if impellers are adjusted right forward when fitted and again at regular over intervals during thewere wearnot life, then anadjusted increaseforward of 40–50% in initial life can be achieved pumps which correctly at the fit-up. Further, pumps which were regularly adjusted over their life have shown a 20% increase over pumps which were only adjusted once at the initial fit up. Recommended procedure: (a)

On initial fit-up, adjust the impeller impeller so it "jus "justt touches" touches" the throatbush. 

(b)

Re-adjust the impeller to "just "just touch" touch" the throatbush after 50–100 hours.

 APPENDIX Fitting Ela Elastomer stomer Cover Plate Liner and Throatbush

These instructions apply to pumps which have an integral volute seal as part of the cover plate liner. This applies to the the following pumps: pumps: 10/8 AH, 10/8 M and 8/6 8/6 AH. While there are a number of different methods available, the following method eases assembly particularly if super thick elastomer liners are being fitted or studs are utilised to hold the throatbush into the cover plate (ie no cotters).

APPLICATION Centrifugal shaft sealing is usually applied when abrasive or corrosive slurries are

pumped. It has the following advantages compared with the packed gland seal: • 

no sealing water is required no dilution of the slurry occurs less wear on the shaft sleeve occurs less wear on the packing occurs

•  •  •  • 

less maintenance is required When the centrifugal seal is combined with gland flushing water, the gland requires lower pressures than a gland sealed pump and consequently is a lower maintenance option. In general, pumps with centrifugal sealing absorb approximately 3% more power than a gland sealed pump.

 Ap pl ic ati on wi th Stan dard dar d Im peller pel ler s The type 'HS' Centrifugal Seal can be used in any application where the older style centrifugal centrifug al seal was used in combination combinati on with standard impellers with back vanes. Due to the larger expeller diameter and special vane configuration the 'HS' seals have better sealing characteristics characteristics than the old style centrifugal seals. Tested performance performance curves for the 4/3-AH, 6/4-AH and 8/6-AH pumps fitted with standard 5 vane closed impellers and type ‘HS’' centrifugal seals are attached. For example: for the 8/6-AH pump with type 'HS' centrifugal seal (performance curve CSP86A01HS) at a flowrate of Q = 220 L/s and speed of rotation N   1100 r/min, the maximum inlet gauge pressure for no seal leakage operation is 170 kPa, assuming an impeller-throatbush impeller-throatbus h clearance of 0.2 mm. =

 Ap pl ic ati on wi th Hig h Effi Ef fi ci ency enc y Im peller pel ler s (i mp ell ers wi th ou t b ack vanes) van es) Impeller back vanes vanes form an integral part of standard Warman Warman centrifugal seals. seals. Although the type 'HS' expellers have much improved sealing characteristics, it is not possible to achieve a no leakage operation in combination with impellers without back vanes. Therefore, to keep the slurry away from the gland, flushing water should be connected to the connection on the expeller expeller ring. The required pressure pressure of the sealing water can can be determined using the attached curves and the following procedure. (a)

Read the gland water water pressure pressure at zero static inlet head ((GWPO) GWPO) a att the given given duty flowrate and speed of rotation from the curves.

(b)

The required required sealing sealing water water pressure pressure at the gland (SW (SWP) P) for a highe higherr inlet head can can be found using equation (1).

SWP = GWPO + 1.3 STIP (kPa)

Equati on (1) 

SWP is the:sealing water pressure at the gland GWPO.is the gland:water pressure.at.zero inlet head STIP is the:availablestatic the:availablestatic inlet pressure (kPa)

For example using performance curve CSP86A07HS (8/6-AH pump) at a flowrate of Q 200 L/s and speed of rotation N = 1100 r/min, the gland water pressure at zero static inlet pressure GWPO GWPO = 61 kPa. If the static inlet pressure pressure STIP = 30 kPa, the required required flush water pressure will be FWP = 61 + 1.3 x 30 = 100 kPa. The application of water flushed centrifugal seals has the following benefits: •  • 

the expeller reduces pressure on the shaft seal lowering the required flush water pressure the flush water dilutes slurry in the expeller chamber reducing expeller and

expeller ring wear •  •  • 

flush and prolongs thepump life of is the packing flush water water provides prevents cooling slurry leakage when the not running flush water prevents slurry build up on expeller and blocking of vanes

 APPENDIX 1 REQUIREMENTS FOR THE GLAND WATER SUPPLY & WATER QUALITY

Water used for gland sealing should be clean and generally have the following properties. Failure to observe these conditions will result in excess time and effort being spent on gland maintenance. Many gland seal problems are blamed on pump design, when in fact, the seal water system can be the major cause. The most common problems are:SUSPENDED AND DISSOLVED SOLIDS

Water quality is an extremely extremely important factor in gland seal op operation. eration. The following is a recommended water quality specification which is attainable with relatively inexpensive filtration treatment equipment:pH 6.5 - 8.0 Solids content:  

Dissolved: Dissolved: Suspended:

1,000 ppm (mg/L) 100 ppm (mg/L)

100 % of +250 mesh (60 µm) particles removed. Maximum Ma ximum Indiv idual Dissolved Ions:  

Hardness (Ca+, Mg+) 200 ppm (mg/L) as CaCO3  Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) 10 ppm (mg/L) Sulphate (SO4-) 50 ppm (mg/L) Chloride (Cl-) 1,000 ppm (mg/L) INADEQUATE OR EXCESSIVE GLAND WATER PRESSURE

Inadequate pressure pressure results in contamination contamination of the packing by the pu pumped mped slurry. Once solids are imbedded in the packing, they cannot be flushed out and the packing must be replaced. Seal water pressure should be 35 - 70 kPa above the stuffing box pressure. Pressure in excess of this only results in more wear on the packing and shaft sleeve. INADEQUATE FLOW

Like inadequate pressure, this results in contamination of the packing by the pumped slurry. Often this problem occurs with a seal water system which supplies several pumps, without flow control control to each pump. In this case, the low pressure pump takes all the the available seal water and starves the higher pressure pump. Flow to each gland should be controlled. To achieve the above limits, it may be necessary to filter the water to a least reduce any solids content to the lowest practical. The gland sealing water supply must be reliable, as slurry pumps must not be operated without gland water supply,  otherwise major gland problems will be

experienced due to the high pressure forcing slurry into the gland region and causing

wear and leakage.

INTRODUCTION

Supplement 'BA1' should be read in conjunction with the appropriate Assembly and Maintenance Instruction Manual Supplement for the particular Type of Warman Pump when Heavy Duty Bearing Assemblies (as denoted by a single or double letter after the pump size eg. R, RS, T, TU etc.), are used.

 Ad vantag van tag es and an d u ses of Heavy Du ty Bearin Bear in g A ss embli emb li es   For the duties which require a high bearing capacity such as for large belt drives, multi-stage pumping (increased thrust loadings onto bearings) or in some cases where the pump is operating at or near its maximum speed and power, then the extra capacity of the Heavy Duty Bearing Assemblies will give significantly higher bearing life than a Basic or Modified Basic Bearing Assembly and therefore less downtime and maintenance costs. Other features of Heavy Duty Assemblies are: (a)

All threaded components are metric.

(b)

The drive drive end shaft shaft extension extension diameter is metric metric and and me metric tric ke keys ys are used.

(c)

No setting or adjusting of bearing end play is required such as is necessary on Basic Bearing Assemblies. Assemblies. Heavy Duty Bearing Bearing Assemblies are are fitted with a two row tapered roller bearing at the pump pump end. These two row bearings bearings are factory set set with the required amount of end play. Consequently no shimming during assembly is required.

(d)

Grease purged purged labyrinths labyrinths are standard to assist assist in exclusion exclusion of dirt and moistu moisture re from assemblies.

PARTS IDENTIFICATION

Every Warman part has a name and a three-digit three-digi t Basic Part Number. Parts with the same name, irrespective of size, have the same Basic Part Number. Thus the shaft of every Warman pump has the Basic Number 073.  Additional letters and digits are added before and after a given basic number to identify a specific component part of a particular pump. This then becomes the part number of that component. Every part has its part number cast or otherwise marked on. Most parts for Heavy Duty Bearing Assemblies will begin with a single letter. For example: S073M = Shaft for S005 Bearing Assembly. For full description and part number identification, refer to the appropriate Warman Components Diagram. Names and and Basic Numbers are used in assembly instructions in this ma manual. nual. The relevant Basic Numbers are listed at the end of this supplement (Basic Part Numbers and Parts List). In all correspondence with Weir Minerals., or their representatives, and especially when ordering spare parts, it is advisable to use correct names as well as full part numbers to prevent misunderstandings misunderstand ings or wrong deliveries. When in doubt, the pump serial number should be quoted as well.

BEA BEARING RING LUB LUBRICATION RICATION

It is recommended that lubricating grease used in rolling bearings should have the following characteristics:  A lithium complex soap soap thickener thickener grease with EP additives additives and oxidation oxidation inhibitors inhibitors.. N. L. G. I. Consistency No ...........................2 Drop Point ................................................... ........................... ........................ 260°C Work penetration @ 25°C (A.S.T.M.) ..........265 to 295 RECOMMENDED BEARING GREASE MOBIL HP or equivalent.  A correctly assembled assembled and pre-greased pre-greased bearing assembly, assembly, (see Assembly Assembly Instruc Instructions) tions) will have a long trouble free life, provided that it is protected against ingress of water or other foreign matter and that it is adequately adequately maintained. maintained. Careful attention paid to purging of the llabyrinth abyrinth (refer to Labyrinth Grease Purging) with grease will provide extra protection against ingress of dirt and prolong bearing life. It is necessary for the maintenance personnel, to open the bearing housing at regular intervals (not longer than twelve months) to inspect bearings and grease and to then determine each time the course of action for the period up to the next inspection. inspection. This is the preferred method of assessing the actual condition of the bearings and the effectiveness of the lubrication applied.

The frequency and amount of lubricant to be added periodically depends upon a number of factors and a combination of them, including speed and size of bearing, duration and extent of on-off operation, and the usual environmental conditions such as ambient and operating temperatures, splash and the presence of contaminants. If a regular addition of grease is judged necessary, or for unusual circumstances where extreme conditions warrant additional lubricant lubricant to be supplied, the plugs on the bearing assembly maybe replaced with grease nipples although this practice is not highly recommended. Grease nipples must be cleaned prior prior to use, to prevent ingress of dirt into the bearings whi whilst lst greasing. It is preferable to lubricate often and sparingly, than to add large amounts at long intervals. Bearings must never be overgreased. Excess Grease: Grease: The immediate effect of an excess of grease within within a bearing is overheating due to the churning of of the grease. grease. This particularly particularly is to be avoided. avoided. If bearings run too ho hott after a change of grease, the trouble is likely to be due to overgreasing. Under no circumstances  add more lubricant to correct the overheating. Most pump bearings operate in the lower speed ranges but there is still the risk of damage due to over-lubricating over-lubricating especially especially in the case of the smaller smaller sized bearings. bearings. Such cautiona cautionary ry measures to avoid over-lubrication, however, do not warrant neglecting the bearings ementt and exp eri erienc enc e should be the final determining factors in completely. Therefore,  ju dg emen establishing routine routine lubrication procedures. procedures. Consequently Consequently it is advisable to observe the bearing frequently at the outset of operations taking careful note of any unusual conditions regarding temperature and cleanliness. cleanliness.
