Liverani EP-Mini flexible impeller pump

• Transferring delicate liquids such as wine, beer, fruit juices, and dairy products.
• Moving viscous fluids like oils, sauces, and syrups in food production lines.
• Handling small batches of ingredients or finished products in artisanal food processing.
• Use in bottling lines for gentle product transfer to filling machines.
• Circulating cleaning solutions (CIP) for smaller process vessels and pipework.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 1,000 to 5,000 litres per hour, depending on fluid viscosity and head.

Power supply

Units of this type are commonly found with 3-phase power, typically 400V, 50Hz, as indicated by the 0.48kW motor.

Materials of construction

The wetted parts are typically stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance, with food-grade flexible impellers.

Connections

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

Motor speed

As indicated, 1360 RPM is a common speed for flexible impeller pumps, offering a balance between flow and gentle handling.

Portability

EP-Mini models are typically compact and can be supplied on a mobile trolley for ease of movement between different process points.

• What types of fluids can this pump handle?

  Flexible impeller pumps are suitable for a wide range of clean or slightly viscous fluids, including those with small suspended solids, due to their gentle pumping action.

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

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

• Can this pump run dry?

• What is the maximum temperature of liquid 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.
