Illustrations in this manual are only used to demonstrate the different working procedures. To a
degree they are dependent on the size of the pump as there are different model constructions
used for different applications
When ordering spare parts the following information must be provided:

- The pump serial number
- The pump SX number
- The spare part Position number
The above information can be found on the pump flanges or the pump’s nameplate
1. Introductions
This service manual only contains information about startup, service and maintains of Rotan
CHD pumps.
For general information about Rotan pumps please refer to manual T1456
Rotan pumps are designed for pumping media with high viscosity such as chocolate, Cocoa
Mass , Cocoa Butter, sugar powder etc. The Pump are equipped with heating jacket on the front
and rear end. The Rotor, Idler and idler bushing are with special clearances.
The Rotan CHD pumps are not Pressure or flow tested from the factory.
The front cover and rear cover is pressure tested separately.
CHD pumps are preserved with vegetable oil.
Rotan CHD pumps are not approved for pumping foods requiring FDA and 3 A approval.

2. Before start-up
Rotan CHD pumps are preserved with vegetable oil at the factory, If this oil is not compatible
with the media that is pumped, the pump should be cleaned before startup.
Rotan CHD pumps is fitted with a special shaft seal, and may not be mistaken for a standard
soft shaft packing (see Figure 1)
The main bushing and the soft packing rings are not lubricated from the factory.
The main bushing and the soft packing is to be lubricated before startup. Make sure that the
lubrication media is compatible with the media that’s is pumped
When lubricating the main bushing and the soft packing, the lubrication pressure must not
exceed 20 bar / 290 psi. If the lubrication pressure exceeds this, there is a risk of damaging the
Lip seal and the packing gland.

Before starting the pump, check:
 That the main bushing and soft packing is lubricated with Food grade grease
That the pump is correctly aligned with the gear and motor. See chapter: “Aligning the
 pump and gear/motor” Main manual T1456
 That the pump is heated, to secure a free rotation of the shaft
 That the ball bearings maximum service life is observed See main manual T1456
 That all isolating valves in the suction and pressure pipe are fully open, to avoid the
pressure being too high, and the pump running dry
 That there is no coagulated liquid in the pump or pipe system, after last operation,
that can cause blockage or breakdown
 That all necessary monitoring and safety system are connected and adjusted
according to the operation conditions
After starting the pump, check:

 That the pump is drawing the liquid
 That there are no signs of cavitation i.e. excessive noise and or vibration
 That the speed is correct
 That the direction of rotation is correct
 That there is no leakage from the pump
 That the shaft seal not leaking
(the shaft seal on a CHD pump is a isolated construction and there for leak free)
 That the operation pressure is correct
 That the pressure in the heating jackets not exceeds 10 bar
 That the magnetic clutch (type ED) is not slipping and then causing an inadequate
flow. And that the temperature in the magnetic clutch does not exceed the permitted
value
 That the power consumption is correct
 That all surveillance equipment is working correctly
 That any pressurized water pipes, Heating/cooling and lubricating systems, etc. are
working correctly

3. Maintenance
Normal Maintenance of the Rotan CHD pumps will typically include the following.
1. Lubrication of the soft shaft seal and main bushing
2. Inspection of leakage from the lip seal (the lip seal is leak free)
3. Inspection of wear on the idler pin and idler bushing
The implementation of the above mentioned maintenance points, can vary a lot, depending of
the operations conditions.
DESMI Pumping Technology A/S recommend that the soft packing and main bushing is
lubricated at an 8 hour intervals (see diagram below) it is important that the lubrication interval
is adjusted to the operations conditions, so that the media is kept away from the main bushing
and lip seal. Automatic grease pots may be fitted.
After roughly one month operation it is recommended that the front cover is removed for
inspection for wear on the idler pin/bushing, and disassembly of the rear end for inspection of
wear on the shaft – main bushing and the lip seal if there is traces of the pumped media in the
main bushing, it is recommended that the lubrication interval is adjusted.
The operating conditions, can be very different, so it is recommended that the company work
out a procedure for servicing the pumps (lubrications interval, inspection of wear) that is
adjusted to the pump operation conditions.

4. Replacement of soft packing rings
Before replace soft packing rings, the Rotan CHD pump must be disassembled from the end
side(shaft side).
Remove the nipple(pos. EK). Remove the bolts (pos. CT) on both sides and pull out the bearing
cover (pos. CT). Remove bolts(pos. F) and pull off bracket(pos. CQ). Remove the bearing(pos.
CU) and bearing cover(pos. CS). Remove the nuts and washers on the packing gland (pos. BE
and BF), pull the main bushing as far back as possible. Gently Use a Flexible Packing Extractor
for pulling out the soft packing rings (poss. CJ). Clean the area before, replacing them with new
ones.
If the nuts (pos. BE) are tightened too hard it can result in high heat generation, and poor
lubrication of the soft packing rings. Under these conditions there is a very high risk of
damaging the soft packing rings and the shaft.

5. Replacement of Lip seal
When replacing the Lip seal (pos. EG) in the main bushing
The rear end is to be dismantled. See
figure 2
Rotan pumps are constructed with a back

pull out system that allows the pump
casing to remain in the pipe system
Whilst the rear end is removed as show in
figure. 3
Remove the bolts pos. F

Remove the rear end.
The rear end is now ready to be

dismantled.
The Lip seal pos. EG. Can be replaced.
Use the proper tools to remove the ball

bearing.
Figure 2
Clean all components before assembling them.
The rear end is now ready to be mounted in the pump casing, Remember to check/adjust the
axial clearance see chapter “Inspection/adjustment of axial clearance”.
Remember to lubricate the soft packing and main bushing before starting up the pump.

6. Inspection of Idler pin/Bushing
Remove the bolts pos. E. and gently pull out the front cover including the
Heating jackets (figure. 5).
Be careful that the idler doesn’t fall down

when removing the front cover.
Pump size 81 to 201 use proper lifting

equipment.
Clean the idler busing pos. AD and

inspect it for wear(figure.6).
Clean the front cover, and inspect the

idler pin Poss. AC
For Wear (figure. 7).
See figure 9 for measuring wear on idler

pin and busing.
Figure. 5 Removing of front cover
Clean the packing surface on the front cover and pump before mounting the front cover on the
pump again.
From the size 81 to 152 the Idler is manufactured with a tapered surface between the teeth, the
idler is placed on the idler pin with the tapered surface pointing against the front cover. See

The axial clearance is pre-set at factory.
It might be necessary to adjust the axial clearance after repairing the pump or in case of wear
The axial clearance is inspected as followed

The pumps axial clearance is measured with a flat feeler gauge. The flat feeler gauge is
inserted through the pump inlet or outlet, between the front cover, idler and rotor
