Assembling of Rails

 Before positioning of rails, it is necessary to verify that the two floors


for rest of rails are coplanar, sufficiently resistant to support weight of
bridge, and permit anchoring with expansion fixing bolts. If necessary,
proceed with a suitable glazing.
 Basing travel of bridge, rails are supplied with different quantity and
length, bridge by bridge. Rails are mainly of 2 types: those with Head,
in which there is a cut perpendicular to length of rail, and those of
Central type, which have the two ends with cuts at 45°. Supply is
complete of fixing small- plates with the necessary washers and fixing
bolts.
 For assembling, proceed as follows:
 Position the first rail of Head.
 Then position all the Central rails and align them to the first.
 Position the Head rail which is opposite to the first.
 Verify the perfect alignment. Using small-plates, fix rails to the
supporting floor. Small-plates must be positioned alternately about
each meter, except the points of start and junction, where they must
be positioned one in front to the other.
 Verify the distance between center of axis of wheels for translation of
bridge. Use this size to manufacture a template to use to position the
Page 15 of 44
second line of rails, which must be perfectly parallel to the first. It is
admissible a tolerance of max ± 2mm.
 Proceeding as previously described, position all the remaining rails.

Page 16 of 44
Assembling of cable raceway

System is composed by:

 A variable number of raceways to support looped cable, depending length


of bridge run. Raceways are complete of pair of supporting brackets,
junctions, fixing brackets and anchoring bolts. Depending cases, brackets
can be in lower or rised position.
 Looped cable with length, number of treads and section of treads,
variable depending run of bridge and agreements with COSME in phase of
order.
 For correction positioning of looped cable line, do reference to general
assembling drawing attached to manual, and proceed as follows:
 Starting from feeding point of electric current, position and fix the first
bracket. Respecting distances shown in the general assembling drawing,
and using a laser, position all the other brackets. At the end of this
operation, all brackets must be aligned both horizontally and respect the
racing of bridge. If necessary, put suitable shims.
 Position in each bracket a pair of supporting brackets.
 Put inside the pair of supporting brackets the raceway of looped cable.
Using the junctions received with machine, connect the several parts of
raceway.
 Put trolleiys inside raceway.
 Block on tow bracket the looped cable.
 Adjust bracket in such a way that looped cable is towed in axis with rail.
 Instructed personnel must do the electric connection to the looped cable
to the power line.

Page 17 of 44
Assembling of bottom scrapers

 Bottom scraping system is composed by a series of lattices and bottom


scrapers, in variable quantity depending sizes of bridge. For correct
installation, proceed as follows:
 Fix lattices to walkway.
 Fix bottom scraper to lattices.
 Fix and put in tension the possible crosses of stiffening.
 Unroll the cables wrapped on winders, fix them on attachments present
on bottom scraper, and block with the small-plates received with goods.
Pay max attention to the side in which cable unrolls. In fact, if bottom and
surface scrapers must rise/lower in the same moment, it is necessary to
unroll cables all in the same side. In case surface scraper is in lowered
position, while instead bottom scraper is rised, it is necessary to unroll
the cable, one opposite to the other, respect the winder.
 Adjust height of wheel of bottom scraper, in such a way that rubber
present on scraper grazes the bottom of tank.

Page 18 of 44
Assembling of surface Scrapers

 Surface scraping system is composed by a series of lattices and by


surface scraper, in variable quantity depending sizes of bridge.
 For correct installation, proceed as follows:
 Doing reference to assembling drawing, fix frame with the surface
scraper to frames or to walkway.
 Unroll the cables wrapped on winders, fix them on attachments present
on surface scraper, and block with the small-plate received with goods.
Pay max attention to the side in which cable unrolls. In fact, if bottom and
surface scrapers must rise/lower in the same moment, it is necessary to
unroll cables all in the same side. In case surface scraper is in lowered
position, while instead bottom scraper is rised, it is necessary to unroll
the cable, one opposite to the other, respect the winder

Page 19 of 44
Adjustment of lifting system

 Lifting system is composed by a gearmotor, one or more shafts with


winders, lifting cables for bottom and surface scrapers, and by 2 end-of-
strokes handled by adjustable cams fixed to shaft of winders.
 Before doing adjustment of lifting cams and of cables, it is necessary to
have affected the electric connections of bridge (see paragraph “Electric
connections”). It is necessary that adjustment is done close to hopper to
collect sludges, with the bottom scraper lowered.

Page 20 of 44
For adjustment, proceed as follows:

 Position general disconnector present in the control panel in position “1”.


In this way, system installed on machine is in tension.
 Position the modal selector in “manual”.
 Rotate selector on descent and wait that rotation of lifting shaft stops,
then release selector. Note: if shaft remains stopped, it means that end-
of-stroke of descent is already excited and consequently the descent cam
is already adjusted.
 Loosen the small-plate which blocks cable on bottom scraper.
 Put in tension the lifting cable.
 Blocl the small-plate which blocks cable on bottom scraper.
 Verify blocking of surface scraper.
 Rotate selector on ascent and wait that bottom scrapers are rised of
about 400 mm, then release selector. Note: for tanks with inclined
bottom, the 400 mm must be measured on the higher point of tank.
Page 21 of 44
Attention!!! during this operation, verify that surface scraper is not in
collision with any part.
 Rotate the cam which excites the end-of-stroke of ascent, till the
correspondent end-of-stroke excites.

Adjustment of surface scraper:

 Case in which bottom and surface scrapers must rise/lower at the


same time. In this case, cables for surface and bottom scrapers
must be unrolled from the same side. Rotate selector on descent,
and wait that bottom scraper is completely lowered and lifting
shaft is stopped. Adjust length of cable of surface scraper in such
a way that, when in operation, scraper is immersed for half of its
height. Acting on selector for ahead/back, bring bridge close to
chute of scum box. A few before surface scraper reaches the
chute of scum box, release selector and verify that scraper is free
to slide on chute. Block the cable.

 Case in which surface and bottom scrapers must rise/lower


alternatively. In this case, lifting cables for bottom and surface
scrapers must be unrolled one contrary to the other. Bottom
scraper is raised from bottom of tank. Remaining in this condition,
adjust length of cable of surface scraper, in such a way that, when
in operation, scraper is immersed for half of its height. Acting on
selector for ahead/back, bring bridge close to chute of scum box.
A few before surface scraper reaches the chute of scum box,
release selector and verify that scraper is free to slide on chute.
Block the cable.
 Acting on selector rise/descent, do a complete test of rising and
descent of scrapers. During this test, verify that scrapers are free
to lift/descent without doing collision with other parts.

Assembling of small plates for exciting of sensors ahead-back and assembling of


safety blocks

 Stop of bridge run is made by two sensors excited by two small-


plates positioned on edges of raceway of bridge. To position
correctly the small-plates, it is necessary to move bridge from a
side to the other of tank. This operation must be done in manual
way, and this means it excludes all controls on position of surface
scraper. During moving of bridge, it is necessary to pay max
attention to surface scraper, to avoid it crashes against scum box .

Proceed as follows:

 Position the block-door disconnector on electric panel on “1”.


Page 22 of 44
 Press the start button.
 Rotate selector on “ahead”, and bring bridge at the end of its run (bottom
scraper at the beginning of hopper for sludges).
 Release selector.
 Remove protection cover from sensor “ahead”.
 Position below sensor the small-plate for exciting, and fix it to the civil
works.
 Adjust height of sensor, so that it reads the small-plate of exciting
(distance less than 6 mm).
 Position a safety block in front of each trolley, at a distance of 10 cm.
 Rotate selector on back position and bring bridge at the end of its run in
the opposite side.
 Release selector.
 Remove protection cover from sensor “back”.
 Position below sensor the small-plate for exciting, and fix it to the civil
works.
 Adjust height of sensor, so that it reads the small-plate of exciting
(distance less than 6 mm).
 Position a safety block in front of each trolley, at a distance of 10 cm.

PROGRASSIVE CAVITY PUMP

Page 32 of 44
PACKING, TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

Packing and Transport

 In order to transport and store the pump it is necessary that the


personnel know and employ the appropriate means, hoists and tools,
always observing the safety instructions. Sydex pumps are shipped on
skid-mounted wood-framed cardboard enclosures.
 Upon receipt, inspect the pump for any transportation damage.
 If the pump we supplied coincides with the model you ordered.
 Avoid suspending the complete pump unit by the bolts of the motor or
gearbox.
 These eye bolts should be used for lifting the motor and/or the gear box
only.
 Use caution when lifting top heavy pumps. The center of gravity may be
above the points where the lifting gear is attached. If this is the case,
secure additionally to prevent tipping over.
 When moving the pump or unit on wheels, strictly adhere to the
following:
 Lock out the motor drive to protect against unintended start-up;
 Move the pump unit carefully and slowly, especially where the ground is
uneven. Hazards of tipping!
 Be careful not to allow flexible piping to bend or become kinked.
Obstruction of flow will cause excessive discharge pressure;
 Where necessary, secure the pump unit with additional support blocks.

Storage

 Pumps are packaged for transportation and short-term storage. In cases


of prolonged storage, the
 pumps should be protected as follows until installation:
 Stator: When stored for a long period, the elastomer along the contact
line between the rotor and stator may become temporarily distorted
(compression-set). This will increase the required starting torque. For
this reason, the stator should be removed and stored in a cool, dry
place, in an air-tight package and protected from light
 Rotor: Support with wooden blocks and protect against damage from
mechanical impact.
 For tool steel rotors: coat the surfaces with protective grease to avoid
rusting.
 Pack and store in a cool, dry place
Mounting tools
 No special tools are required for the assembly and installation of the
pump.
5.2. Space requirements
 Customers are responsible for determining the space requirements. The
following factors must be taken into consideration:
 Dimensions and weight of the machine.
 Required transportation and hoisting equipment.
 Freedom of movement to:
 - adjust pump speed (pump with drive speed variator);
Page 33 of 44
 - properly lubricate the drive unit;
 - remove the guards;
 - handle disassembly and assembly pump tools.
5.3. Rotation direction
 The direction of rotation of the pump determines the direction of the
fluid and thus the
 suction and discharge port of the pump. The direction in which the drive
shaft and rotor
 of the pump must rotate is indicated by an arrow on all models. For
some versions the
 direction can be reversible; in this regard, check the technical data in the
offer phase or,
 for further
Piping

 The diameter of the suction and discharge pipework must be sized in


accordance with the pressure
 drop calculation on the pumping line and in relation to the performance
of the model purchased. The
 correct choice of pipework is essential for the smooth operation of the
Sydex pump. A general
 reference for sizing the pipework can be provided by the measurements
of the suction and discharge
 ports. In any case, it is essential to calculate the pressure drop.
 Before starting the pump, clean and flush all pipes.
Electrical drive connections

 All work on electrical connections must be carried out by authorized and


specialized personnel, following the relevant legal provisions as well as
the drive manufacturer’s instructions.
 Voltage and frequency of the electric network must comply with the
indications on motor and/or frequency converter plate.
 The electric motor nameplate presents the following drive data: voltage,
frequency, and drive power. The network voltage and frequency must
match the data on the nameplate
 Switch on electric motor direct-on-line or use an adequate frequency
inverter.
 An increased starting torque is necessary due to the compression fit
between the rotor and stator conveying elements. This means the
electric motors that drive the progressive cavity pumps must always be
started direct-on-line or with an adequate frequency inverter which is
configured correctly for a constant torque application.
 Ensure that customer-supplied frequency inverters comply with the
starting torque and running power specified on the offer specifications.
 Other important points to be observed:
 - Always use a thermal motor safety switch.
 - If possible, mount an isolating switch as close as possible to the pump.
 - It is recommended to mount an earth leakage circuit breaker.
Start up

 Sydex progressing cavity pumps must operate with the following


precautions:
 Before initial start-up, regardless of rotation, make sure the pump
housing and suction piping are filled with the medium. Priming of the
pump is necessary to lubricate the stator.
Page 34 of 44
 Never run the pump dry! Even few rotations in dry condition will damage
the stator.
 If the fluid to be pumped is particularly high in viscosity, perform the first
start with an easily flowing liquid (e.g. water).
 Make sure that both discharge and suction pipes are correctly
connected.
 Turn pump motor on and off briefly to check direction of rotation.
Rotation direction must match
 the data indicated on the pump nameplate.
 In the event of incorrect rotation, modify the electrical connections of
the motor so as to reverse the direction of rotation.
 Sydex pumps are positive displacement progressing cavity pumps and
have the potential to generate very high pressure, capable of bursting
vessels or pipes. Each progressing cavity pump must be protected
against overpressure operation by, for example, a bypass with safety
valves or pressure gauges with overpressure limits or other systems.
 Excessive pressure can overload the drive train (shaft, joints, rotor) or
exceed pressure limitations of the housing and their connections,
resulting in damage or breakage. Exceeding the permissible and agreed
pressure threshold may lead to breakage and bursting of the pump
casing and other connecting elements.
 Therefore, pump must never run with an inlet or outlet valve closed.
 Before starting the pump, check:
 that the gate valves and valves on the pumping line are open;
 that the direction of rotation indicated on the pump is correct.
