The average RYDLYME cleaning time is about two (2) hours, for the Premier series we recommend four (4) foregoing quantities are average for the size and model listed. In some instances, additional RYDLYME maybe required to thoroughly remove all deposits in your Vacuum other manufactures and model numbers, please consult Apex Engineering Products CorporationCL-200SC-3SC-4L3H4MT/AT-12410 10CL-300SC-5L4H5AT-1841510CL-400SC-6SC-7 L5H6K52510CL-700L6H7K63015L7L8H8K8 K94520CL-1000CL-1500H10AT-10046020CL-200 0CL-200380-12025CL-3000AT-2004125-17555C L-4000AT-3004160-22560CL-6000904L904M250 -32590CL-9000904P904R425-500120CL-140009 04S904T500-700180904U700+210 PREMIER 2000216055018022006002202280650330237075 0440248082555026201175990 for Vacuum PumpsWhen water scale, lime, mud and rust accumulateson the water side of compressors or Vacuum Pumps ofthis type.

2 This not only drastically reduces volume andoverall efficiency, but also increases electrical order to remove the water scale, lime, mud andrust from the casing, rotor, hub, cones, and associatedpiping, the following instructions should be followed. down current or before amerage readings, cfm atvacuum capacity and the Vacuum in inches of mercury. unit out of service. bottom drain plug and allow all water to drain frompump casing. Replace bottom plug. seal water piping and attach RYDLYME pump dischargehose. top plug, attach return hose and place other end ofreturn hose in RYDLYME receiver.

3 Blank in flanges of discharge piping (see figure 1) andtighten flange bolts. the prescribed quantity of RYDLYME to the receiver (see chartat left) and start pump. some instances additional water may be required to maintaincirculation. Add only enough water to maintain circulation. pump seal packing to minimize leakage of 15 minutes of RYDLYME circulation, turn pump rotor 90degrees by pulling on the drive belts or jacking the starter 15 minutes thereafter, turn pump rotor through 90 degreesto assure a thorough cleaning of all interior parts of your pump,including hub, cones and the circulation of RYDLYME for a total of two (2)

4 Two hours of circulation time, with intermitent turning ofrotor, the pump should be clean and the rotor should turn off circulating pump and drain all the RYDLYME by remov-ing the bottom drain all the RYDLYME hoses and the circulating the seal water blank in flanges of the discharge piping and tightenflange the seal water valve and flush pump with the seal water running, start Vacuum pump and operatefor 10 minutes to thoroughly flush pump. During this time adjustthe seal water rate to manufacturers pump or compressor to unit has stabilized, write down current or after amper-age readings, cfm at Vacuum capacity and Vacuum in inches before readings with the after readings.

5 Thedifference between the before and after amerage readingsmultiplied by the cost per kw/hr at your facility, will render theobvious value of feasibility of RYDLYME cleaning of your liquidring Vacuum Pumps . RYDLYME cleaning should be performedon a preventative or predictive maintenance is quite common that water scale, lime, mud andrust deposits can cause the rotor to completely seizecausing immediate a Seized Rotor is steps 1 through is best to introduce RYDLYME wherever possible. Start byremoving both plugs from the top of the pump (if scale blocksthe passage, take a screwdriver and poke it through).

6 Then add100% RYDLYME into the top ports as well as pumping some intothe seal water passage. Once you have done this, please allowthe RYDLYME to sit for 30 to 45 minutes. This will enable theproduct to start freeing up the pump. (Do not put the plugsback in until you start the circulation process). pumping RYDLYME for 10-15 minutes, turn rotor 180degrees with wrench and pump another 15 will dissolve the water scale that causes the seizing andallow the remaining steps to be the rotor remain seized after circulating RYDLYME for10-15 minutes, disconnect the hose from the plug (discharge hosefrom pump) and attach this hose to the opening at the top of thecasing.

7 Circulate RYDLYME into this opening for 10 minutes whileperiodically testing to see if the rotor has freed. When rotor isfree, proceed according to the effectively removes water scale, lime,mud and rust from compressors and Vacuum Pumps Periodic RYDLYME cleaningwill keep your Vacuum pumpoperating at peak Printed in Apex Engineering Products CorporationRYDLYME is registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Box 439 Plainfield, Illinois 60544800-451-6291 FAX is EFFECTIVE .. it dissolves approximately two pounds ofscale per gallon!RYDLYME is NON-HAZARDOUS.
