How to properly maintain and upkeep a magnetic pump?

(1) Check for any looseness in the magnetic pump pipeline and joints. Rotate the magnetic pump by hand to see if it is flexible

(2) Add bearing lubricating oil into the bearing body, and observe that the oil level is at the centerline of the oil gauge. The lubricating oil should be replaced or replenished in a timely manner.

(3) Unscrew the water inlet plug of the magnetic pump body and inject water (or slurry).

(4) Close the gate valve, outlet pressure gauge, and inlet vacuum gauge of the water outlet pipeline,

(5) Tap the motor and try to see if the motor direction is correct.

(6) Start the motor, when the magnetic pump is running normally, open the outlet pressure gauge and the inlet vacuum pump to see if they display the appropriate pressure, gradually open the gate valve, and check the motor load at the same time. (7) Try to control the flow rate and head of the magnetic pump within the range indicated on the label as much as possible to ensure that the magnetic pump operates at the highest efficiency point, in order to achieve the maximum energy-saving effect. (8) During the operation of the magnetic pump, the bearing temperature should not exceed 35C of the ambient temperature, and the maximum temperature should not exceed 80C. If any abnormal sound is found in the magnetic pump, it should be stopped immediately to check the cause.

(10) When the magnetic pump needs to be stopped, first close the gate valve and pressure gauge, and then stop the motor

(11) Within the first month of operation, the magnetic pump needs to change the lubricating oil after 100 hours, and then every 500 hours thereafter.

(12) Regularly adjust the packing gland to ensure normal dripping inside the packing chamber (preferably in droplets).

(13) Regularly check the wear of the shaft sleeve, and replace it promptly if there is significant wear.

(14) When using a magnetic pump in the cold winter season, after parking, the drain plug at the bottom of the pump body should be unscrewed to drain the medium completely. Prevent frost cracking.

(15) If the magnetic pump is not used for a long time, it is necessary to disassemble the pump completely, dry off the water, apply grease to the rotating parts and joints, and store them properly.
