6.3 Explosion Proof Labelling:

Note: This label is only fitted onto pumps supplied as Atex compliant at time of order

Note: As operating temperature is governed by type of hose and insert used, here are some

other examples of temperature indication:

T5 (0 – 100) - (EPDM Hose with Stainless / PVDF Inserts)

T6 (0 – 40) - (Any Hose fitted with Polypropylene Inserts)

Note: Future development to overcome higher protection requirements and the event of rare

malfunctions may allow the product to be marketed to Equipment group II category 1,this will

form a sound basis for further/future categorizing to cater for the mining industry.

Therefore guidelines are according to current initial specification and as such may be subject to

amendment.

6.4 Pump & Hose: Storage during Plant shutdowns / on site storage

1. Introduction

VERDERFLEX pumps are designed for continuous use, however, there may be instances when

pumps are withdrawn from use and stored for periods of more than 2 weeks. We recommend

certain pre-storage actions and precautions be taken whilst pumps and their components are not

in use. Similarly, hoses and lubricants may be held as stock to service working pumps and their

recommended storage conditions are advised.
