There are several ways to troubleshoot your compact flat tensile sample preparation system’s coolant pump. First, take a look at some of the reasons the coolant system may be causing trouble:

1. The motor may overload due to a jammed pump impeller or the resistance to turning is too much. The corrosion from sitting idly, sludge build-up, etc. could be the culprit.
2. The problem could be due to a wiring problem from the breaker to the pump. If there is a bad connection or the wire is chafed, a short could occur and cause the breaker to trip.
3. Although it is not common or likely to happen, an issue in the internal motor might also cause some problems.

Before the units leave the facility, they are all tested for function and also during installation. There is highly likely an issue with the unit when it is running and pumping liquid for 10 seconds, especially if it has not been running for quite a while. We recommend submerging the belt in fluid during the time when it is sitting idle. You may contact us right now so we can assist you and bring light to the questions that you have in mind.
