Liverani EP-Midex flexible impeller pump

• Transferring delicate food products such as wine, beer, fruit juices, and dairy.
• Handling viscous liquids like oils, sauces, and syrups in food production lines.
• Pumping brines, marinades, and other food-grade solutions.
• Used for filling and emptying tanks, vats, and containers in small to medium-scale operations.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 500 to 10,000 litres per hour, depending on the specific impeller and motor configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with motor power for the EP-Midex series often around 0.75kW to 2.2kW.

Materials of construction

The pump head and wetted parts are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304 or 316), with impellers made from various elastomers suitable for food contact.

Connections

Commonly found with standard hygienic connections such as Tri-Clamp, DIN, or RJT fittings, typically ranging from DN25 to DN50.

Operating temperature

Flexible impeller pumps are generally suitable for handling liquids up to approximately 80-90°C, depending on the impeller material.

Portability

Many units in this range are mounted on a mobile trolley for ease of movement between different processing areas.

• What types of products can this pump handle?

  Flexible impeller pumps are versatile and can handle a wide range of liquids, including those with suspended solids, due to their gentle pumping action. They are particularly suited for shear-sensitive products.

• Is this pump suitable for CIP (Clean-in-Place)?

• What maintenance is typically required for a flexible impeller pump?

• Can this pump run dry?

• What is the maximum viscosity this pump can handle?

Food processing pumps are valued for reliability and durability in continuous operations. Buyers typically prioritise corrosion resistance, hygiene compliance, and consistent flow rates. When purchasing used units, inspecting seals, impellers and motor condition proves essential. Industry sentiment favours models with straightforward maintenance requirements and availability of spare parts. Stainless steel construction and gentle handling capabilities for delicate products are consistently sought features.
