5.1 DIRECTION OF ROTATION

Before starting the Rotary blades vacuum pump make sure that the P.T.O. shaft turns freely and
that the direction of rotation is the same as the one indicated by the arrow.
Never turn the rotary blades vacuum pump in the direction of rotation opposite to the one for which it has been prepared
(indicated by the arrow) as this could damage some components as well as prevent the operation of the pump.
6 - SET-UP OF THE LUBRIFICATION SYSTEM
Three different types of lubrication have been developed for the rotary blades vacuum pump (see Figure 3).

6.1 FORCED LUBRICATION

Lubrication occurs in both the intake phase and the compression phase through a gear pump placed at the back and actuated by the
rotor shaft. The gear pump sucks oil from the tank and sends it to the manually adjusted metering tap. Excess oil returns to the tank
through a tube connecting the tap to the tank. Forced lubrication is available as standard on the BALLAST 3500-4500-6000-7500-
9000-11000-13500 models.

6.2 AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION

With this system lubrication occurs in both the intake phase and the compression phase by means of a piston metering pump with
adjustable flow rate placed at the back and actuated by the rotor. The oil is injected directly into the Rotary blades vacuum pump,
eliminating manual adjustment and saving a considerable amount of oil. Automatic lubrication is provided, on request, on the
BALLAST 3500-4500-6000-7500-9000-11000-13500 models and as standard on the BALLAST 16000 model.

6.3 RECOMMENDED OIL

The rotary blades vacuum pumps are supplied without lubrication oil in the tank.
RECOMMENDS use of the BATTIONI PAGANI
Battioni Pagani
®
"VACUUM PUMP OIL" for internal lubrication which ensures
- Excellent resistance to oxidation
- Strong anti-rust property
- Excellent anti foam power
- Working temperature from -5 °C to 160 °C
WITHOUT VACUUM PUMP OIL USE ONLY
NEW MINERAL OIL ISO VG 100 (SAE 30)
