RBT Instruction Manual
1. Introduction
This manual forms an integral part of the pump and must accompany it until its
demolition. The series RBT peristaltic pump is a machine destined to work in
industrial areas and as such the instruction manual must form part of the
legislative dispositions and the applicable technical standards and does not
substitute any installation standard or eventual additional standard.
Pumps are machines that due to their functioning under pressure and moving
parts can present dangers.
- Improper use

RBT Instruction Manual
The person in charge of safety should therefore guarantee that the pump is
transported, installed, put in service, used, maintained and repaired by qualified
personnel who should therefore possess:
- Knowledge of the general national and local safety standards and also
of installation.
Any work carried out on the electrical part of the pump should be authorized by
the person responsible for safety. Given that the pump is destined to form part
of an installation, it is the responsibility of whoever supervises the installation to
guarantee absolute safety, adopting the necessary measures of additional
protection.

Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries.
- Measure: The device must be disconnected from the power
supply before it is opened
- Isolate damaged faulty or manipulated devices from the mains in
order to de-energise.

CIP cleaning
In the event of CIP cleaning, it is necessary to obtain information from
the manufacturer about correct installation of the pump (a special
installation is required) as well as regarding the compatibility of the
cleaning agents with the pump hoses and the hydraulic connections.
Cleaning should be undertaken at the recommended maximum
temperature.

Environmental influences
Possible consequence: Material damage right through to destruction of
the unit.
- The device is not suitable for outdoor operation
- Take suitable measures to protect the device from environmental
influences such as:
– UV rays
– Moisture
– Frost, etc.

3. Functional description
The RBT Series is a displacement pump. The feed chemical is conveyed by the
rotor squeezing the hose in the direction of flow. No valves are needed for this.
This ensures gentle handling of the metered media.
The RBT Series has been designed for safe and uncomplicated operation, as
well as straightforward maintenance.
The RBT Series can be used for many different media. However, this pump
type is often the optimal solution for abrasive, shear-sensitive and viscose
media.
Typical areas of use include processes where only a low discharge pressure is
required (max. 15 Bar).
3.1 Construction
Main modules:
- Drive Unit
- Housing
- Base frame
The pump housing is closed off with a screwed front cover in order to avoid the
risk of injury.
The motor serves to drive the rotor. Two shoes at the ends of the rotor serve to
press the pump hose against the pump housing.
The rotary movement of the rotors alternately press and relax the shoes in
relation to the pump hose. This serves to suck the media and convey it into the
metering line.

between two fixed pipes and the hydraulic connection of the pump, in order to
avoid the transmission of vibrations.
The peristaltic pump is equipped with shims, in order to adjust the precise
pressure distance to the shoe (dependent on speed and operating pressure).

The shims are fitted in the factory. You can adapt the number of shims to the
actual operating conditions according to the following table.
