General description
The pump is designed and constructed to pump and compress liquids at high pressure in industrial applications.
The pumping action is provided by a series of pistons connected to the drive shaft by connecting-rods.
When in operation, the pistons perform an axial stroke inside the head, where the intake and delivery ducts are
fitted with valves which allow the liquid to pass in one direction only.

Intended uses
The pump is designed and built for incorporation in machinery and plants (machinery for washing raw
materials, finished products, etc.).
The pump must be used in a manner appropriate to its technical data (see "Technical Data"), and must not be
modified or improperly used.
Misuses
Do not put the pump into service until the plant or machinery in which it is incorporated has been declared
compliant with the relevant national and local legal requirements.
Do not use the pump in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Do not use the pump for flammable, toxic or corrosive liquids, or those with unsuitable density. Do not take in
liquids at temperatures higher than those specified in the technical data.
Do not use the pump for the supply of drinking water.
Do not use the pump on products for human consumption.
Do not use the pump on pharmaceutical products.
Residual risks
Even if the safety regulations and information provided in the manual is complied with, the residual risk
described below is still present during use of the pump.
- Thermal hazard: depending on the temperature of the liquid pumped, the pump may reach high
temperatures when in operation. The designer of the installation must therefore bear this in mind and
provide the appropriate measures and warning signs for staff.
