For product intake either a hose connector (1) or a hopper (6) can be
used.
The higher viscosity of the product, the larger diameter of suction hose
should be used.
For high viscosity products or sticky products, the hopper should be
chosen for good product flow towards the pump.

15 litres 88-350-010
When using hose for product intake, the pump head normally should be mounted with the straight
connector (7) facing down (left drawing Fig. 7.1).
If the product container is situated above the pump head, the pump head could be mounted with the
straight connector facing up, or an angled connector could be chosen, in order to have a straight
product path.
When using hopper for product intake, the pump head should be mounted with the straight connector
facing up (right drawing Fig. 7.1).
The arrow on the pump head will show the direction of product flow.
