Care of Stainless Steel

The stainless steel components in Dixon Sanitary equipment are machined, welded and assembled by skilled craftsmen using

manufacturing methods that preserve the corrosion-resistant quality of the stainless steel.

Retention of corrosion-resistant qualities under processing conditions requires regular attention to the precautions listed below.

1. Regularly check all electrical devices connected to the equipment for stray currents caused by improper grounding, damaged

insulation or other defects. Corrosion: Pitting often occurs when stray currents come in contact with moist stainless steel.

2. Never leave rubber mats, ttings, wrenches, etc. in contact with stainless steel. Corrosion: Pitting or galvanic action. Objects

retard complete drying, preventing air from reforming the protective oxide lm. Galvanic corrosion occurs when two dissimilar

metals touch when wet.

3. Immediately rinse equipment after use with warm water until the rinse water is clear. Clean the equipment (manual or CIP)

as soon as possible after rinsing. Corrosion: discoloration, deposits, pitting. Product deposits often cause pitting beneath the

particles.

4. Use only recommended cleaning compounds. Purchase chemicals from reputable and responsible chemical manufacturers

familiar with stainless steel processing equipment, they continuously check the effects of their products on stainless steel.

5. Use cleaning chemicals exactly as specied by the manufacturer. Do not use excessive concentrations, temperatures or exposure

times. Corrosion: Pitting, discoloration, stress cracks. Permanent damage often occurs from excessive chemical concentrations,

temperatures or exposure times.

6. For manual cleaning, use only soft non-metallic brushes, sponges or pads. Brush with the grain on polished surfaces, avoid

scratching the surface. Corrosion: Pitting, scratches. Metal brushes or sponges will scratch the surface and promote corrosion

over a period of time. Metal particles allowed to remain on a stainless steel surface will cause pitting.

7. Use chemical bactericides exactly as prescribed by the chemical manufacturer in concurrence with local health authority. Use

the lowest permissible concentration, temperature and exposure time possible. Flush immediately after bacterial treatment. In no

case should the solution be in contact with stainless steel more then 20 minutes. Corrosion: Protective lm destroyed. Chlorine

and other halogen bactericides can destroy the protective lm. A few degrees increase in temperature greatly increases chemical

activity and accelerates corrosion.

8. Regularly inspect the joints in pipelines. Be sure all connections are tight tting without binding. Corrosion: Crevice corrosion.

Small crevices caused by improperly seated gaskets will promote crevice corrosion. Stainless steel under stress will develop

stress cracking especially in the presence of bactericides containing chlorine.

9. Regularly inspect equipment for surface corrosion (i.e. pitting deposits, stress cracks, etc.). If deposit or color corrosion is

detected, remove it immediately using mild scouring powder and detergents. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Review

production and cleaning procedures to determine the cause. Note: If corrosion is not removed, the protective lm cannot be

restored and corrosion will continue at an accelerated rate.

• Relief Valve – To protect the pump and piping system against excessive pressure, a relief valve should be installed. An integral

relief valve, designed to bypass the uid internally from the pump outlet to the inlet, should not be used on applications where the

discharge must be closed for more than a few minutes. Prolonged operation of the pump with closed discharge with cause heating

of the uid circulating through the relief valve.

18 Rotary Lobe Pumps - JRZL-400 Series800.789.1718

Installation & Start Up

At Start Up

Pump Flow:

• All pumps are labeled with ow direction based on motor being wired for clockwise rotation. If motor is wired for counterclockwise

rotation, ow direction will be opposite of what is indicated on pump head.

19Rotary Lobe Pumps - JRZL-400 Series 800.789.1718

Installation & Start Up

At Start Up

Pump Alignment:

• A exible coupling is used to compensate for end play and small differences in alignment. The pump and drive shaft should be

aligned as closely as possible.

• Check angular alignment using feeler or taper gauge.

• Adjust to get equal dimension at all points – at the same time, set space between coupling halves to the coupling manufacturer’s

recommended distance.

• Note: Pump is aligned prior to shipping, after installation verify alignment as misalignment may have occurred during shipment.

20 Rotary Lobe Pumps - JRZL-400 Series800.789.1718

Tools Needed

• Rotor tool

• Plastic dowel

• Open ended wrench set

• Rubber mallet

• Flat head screw driver

• Feeler gauges

• Hex keys

• O-ring pick

• Spanner wrench

• Rotor extraction tool (optional)

Additional tools needed when assembling or disassembling gear box

• Spanner wrench

• Arbor press or bearing puller

Maintenance

Pump Housing Disassembly - Single Mechanical Seal

Prior to removal of pump, the shut-off valves in the suction and discharge lines must be closed. If there is any risk that product

may harden, crystallize or freeze in the pump it should be thoroughly drained and cleaned immediately after use. Same

attention applies if there is a seal ush option. Power needs to be locked out to prevent unintended start of the pump.

Note: Reference numbers are listed in the sectional view located on pages 61-73.

1. Loosen and remove the four hex nuts (33) from the front cover.
