MAIN FEATURES
MAIN FEATURES
2.1
The piston pump is engineered and constructed to deliver ceramic slip to spray dryers. It basically consists of two parts:
a piston pump assembly and hydraulic power unit. The function of the pump assembly is to create a flow of liquid and
maintain it at the preset delivery rate and pressure required for the system in which the pump is installed.
The hydraulic power unit delivers oil at a constant pressure. Thanks to the hoses used, the oil is sent alternately to
the cylinders of the piston pump.

WARNING!
The directions given in this manual must be closely followed and all safety precautions fully observed.
6.1
CONTROL DEVICES

6.2.1
START UP PROCEDURE
Before starting the machine make sure all the safety devices (which may have been removed during maintenance)
are correctly installed.
Check the inflating pressure in the slip accumulator ( the values are indicated in paragraph 2.3.1 SPECIFICATIONS)
and make sure the pressure control valve is completely open.
Make sure the reverse and timing sensors are placed in such a way as to fully exploit the stroke of the pistons (the
reversals are reduced and therefore system performance is improved).
When the equipment is started up for the first time or after maintenance has been performed on the hydraulic pump,
fill the suction hose of the pump with oil before starting the electric motor. Once the motor has been started up, bleed
any air from the delivery hose of the pump.
The electric motor can now be started. The entire flow is delivered by the hydraulic pump but the cylinders do not
operate as there is hardly any pressure in the circuit. Gradually adjust the control valve. In fact, as a result of slight
increases in the oil pressure the alumina pistons accelerate significantly as the duct that joins the pump to the point
of use is still empty. Once the line is full, the pressure of the fluid will start to increase and the pump will slow down.
The pressure can now be gradually increased until the required value is reached.
In versions equipped with a proportional pressure control the start-up ramp and operating pressure control are
controlled from the ATMs electrical cabinet.
The operating pressure of the hydraulic circuit is strictly related to the pressure of the slip circuit. For this reason, if the
pressure in the hydraulic circuit does not rise neither will the pressure in the slip circuit.
The pressure ratio in the PPB 313 is 3.5:1. For example, in order to obtain a pressure of 30 bar in the slip lines,
the oil pressure must be about 105 bar. The pressure ratio in the PPB 308 is 2.5:1. or example, in order to obtain
a pressure of 30 bar in the slip lines, the oil pressure must be about 75 bar. This ratio is however approximate as
it is strictly related to the friction created by the working parts of the machine, in particular between the seals and
alumina pistons.
Reverse motion should be optimised during this stage. To do this, adjust the relative throttles (7) (see figure 6.3).
Increasing braking will extend the stroke of the pump pistons, therefore timing sensors SQ1 and SQ2 need to be reset.
In addition, be careful not to full extend or retract the hydraulic cylinders.
At this point, the machine will run at normal speed. Check the pressures in the two lines. The pressure gauge (3) should
be shut off by using the cock (2).
This prevents malfunctioning due to changes in pressure during operation. If the speed of the equipment varies
notably due to increased ATM output or one of the pumps has stopped, etc., repeat the adjustments described above
in order to suit the new conditions.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STOPPING THE MACHINE
First of all, gradually relieve the pressure until the equipment stops by using the control valve. Once this has been done,
shut off the electric motor with the main controls.
At this point, check the pressure gauge located on the slip accumulator to see whether the pressure has dropped. This
will ensure that the lines located after the pump are no longer under pressure, thus preventing problems from arising
during flushing.
The water for flushing the alumina pistons should be shut off after approximately ten minutes. This will ensure that any
slip residues are flushed from the washing chambers.
The same should be done with the hydraulic unit cooling water. In addition, it is good practice to flush the delivery
and intake valves of the pump. To do this, use the valves located on the inlet and outlet fittings of the machine. If good
results are not obtained, take off the protective frame and covers of the valves and wash by spraying water.

The hydraulic power unit can be cleaned by blowing compressed air and using rags. This should be done to ensure
that the electric motor cools down well and to prevent matter from building up on the cover of the unit, which if parts
are removed, may get inside the reservoir and dirty the oil. Running water can be used for the pump to remove any
dust or slip build ups that tend to block the ring nut and reduce the sensitivity of the reversal and timing sensors.

Checking the slip accumulator pressure (OPT)
At the end of each work shift, make sure the pre-charge pressure has not decreased (the value is indicated in paragraph
2.3.1 - SPECIFICATIONS). If the pressure has dropped, find out what is causing the nitrogen to leak.
5
A certain amount of fresh grease (see paragraph 2.3.3, LUBRICANT SPECIFICATIONS) should be injected through
the fittings on the guide columns to remove the fine abrasive powders captured by the grease during operation. Take
off the front protective board to carry out this operation.

MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
SPECIAL MAINTENANCE
The special maintenance operations that usually regard only the machine in question are described below.
8.2.1
REPLACING THE RUBBER SEALS
(references given in figure 8.1/A)
IMPORTANT!
When the ring nut or plate (1) is almost all the way down the whole seal pack (3) has to be replaced. The alumina
piston will wear down much more quickly if overworn seals are used. For this reason, the ring nut should be replaced
when the piston only completes 2/3 of its total stroke.
-
IMPORTANT!
The seals (7), when supplied, have the correct length and adequate contact surfaces.
The spacers (6) have to be cut in slices. Insertion is made easier if the clamp (8) provided with the machine is used.
Do not overlap points (A) of the seals over those of the clamp (B) to avoid oil leaks.
- Put a spacer (6) (cut so that it fits around the piston 4) in the seat of the cylinder (5). Push it all the way down.
- Put a seal (7) around the piston (4), being very careful to accurately join the ends together and fit it into the seat of
the cylinder (5).
- Fit the clamp (8) over the piston (4) and push it downwards to lower the seal. Make sure that the seal is in place
before pushing the clamp down. Also ensure the joints of the clamp do not match those of the seals.
- Remove the clamp (8) and take it apart.
- Put on another cut ring spacer (6).
- Install another seal (7) by performing the procedure described above and continue until the entire pack (3) has been
installed.
RING-NUT ADJUSTMENT
- Hold the ring (2) in place by slightly tightening the respective screws.
- Tighten the ring nut (1) until it rests on the seal pack
- Secure the ring (2).
STAY-BOLT ADJUSTMENT
- Turn the nuts (9) of the stay bolts (2) to bring the plate (1) into contact with the seal pack.
- Slightly pre-load with the nuts (approx. half a turn).
WARNING!
To further preload the seal pack (3), turn the ring nut (1, figure 8.1/A1) or the stay bolts of the plate (1, figure 8.1/A2).
This operation is to be performed with the pump running only if required.

MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
8.2.2
OVERHAULING THE DELIVERY AND INTAKE VALVES
(references given in figure 8.1/B)
The disk (6) and valve seat (8) get worn when slip under pressure flows in the intake valves. These parts therefore
need to be replaced.
- Take off the protective frames (11)
- Replace the parts (6 and 8)
- Put the parts back in their correct position and tighten the clamp (3)
- Put the protective frames (11) back on.
