Daily use and maintenance of FTI barrel pump

FTI drum pumps offer eight tubing series and motors, including standard, explosion-proof,

 variable-speed, and pneumatic motors, to meet diverse applications. They are available in PP, 

PVDF, 316SS, and a variety of food-grade materials to suit diverse media.

FTI drum pumps from the United States offer a comprehensive range, easy operation, and a high 

cost-effectiveness. They can pump a variety of acids, bases, solvents, oils, foods, and pharmaceuticals, 

and also offer specialized models for high-viscosity liquids. Various tubing lengths are available to 

accommodate a variety of electric and pneumatic motors to meet diverse process requirements.

The FTI barrel pump is a lightweight and practical tool for transferring barreled liquids. It can be used

 to transport barreled liquids into production processes, dispensing them into other containers, or 

directly metering and mixing them with other liquids in a specific proportion. This significantly reduces 

labor intensity, improves production efficiency, and minimizes material waste. It is particularly suitable 

for pumping corrosive, toxic, hazardous, flammable, and explosive liquids.

Daily use and maintenance of FTI barrel pump

1. If any unusual noise is detected during operation, stop the pump immediately and investigate

 the cause. Resume operation only after the cause has been resolved.

2. This pump should not be run dry. Stop the pump immediately after completing the suction 

process. The pump motor can reach an unloaded speed of approximately 10,000 rpm. Failure to 

do so will wear out the universal joint, impeller, and, in severe cases, the pump tubing.

3. Brush Replacement: Brushes worn beyond serviceability should be replaced immediately. Failure

 to do so will damage the commutator and, in severe cases, burn out the motor.

4. FTI drum pumps should be inspected regularly, generally at least every three months. Frequently 

used pumps should be inspected monthly. During inspection, the pump should be completely 

disassembled to remove any internal dust and oil. If there is excessive carbon buildup on the 

commutator, clean the surface with alcohol. Any damaged parts should be replaced with equivalent parts.

5. When not in use, store in a dry, clean environment free of corrosive gases.

6. When operating the pump, be sure not to damage the electrical wiring and prevent water or 

oil from entering the motor, switches, or electrical components.

7. Do not operate the pump in the presence of flammable or corrosive gases to ensure safe 

operation and proper function of all electrical components.

8. After unpacking a new or long-term unused FTI drum pump, use a 500-volt megohmmeter to 

measure the insulation resistance between all live parts and potentially accessible metal parts. 

The resistance should be no less than 7 megohms at operating temperature.

9. Before use, check that all terminals are secure and that the grounding wire is reliable and secure.

10. Check that the power supply voltage is consistent with the rated voltage. Do not operate the 

pump with a voltage that exceeds or falls below the rated voltage by more than 10%.
