Mono PLF05 PC Pump

• Transferring viscous fluids in food processing.
• Handling shear-sensitive products in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• Metering and dosing applications in chemical industries.
• Moving slurries and pastes in wastewater treatment.
• Pumping fruit preparations and sauces in beverage production.

Pump type

Progressive Cavity (PC) pump, known for handling high viscosity and solids.

Typical flow rate

For this class of Mono PC pump, flow rates typically range from a few litres per minute up to several cubic metres per hour, depending on specific model and application.

Power supply

This unit is specified as 3-phase, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK for industrial applications.

Associated equipment

Mounted on a stainless steel skid with a 75L stainless hopper, an Alfa Laval plate heat exchanger, and a Spirax Sarco EP5 positioner, indicating a system designed for controlled temperature processing.

Materials of construction

Process contact parts are typically stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance, especially with the included hopper and heat exchanger.

Viscosity handling

Progressive cavity pumps excel at handling highly viscous fluids, often up to 1,000,000 cP or more, without significant pulsation.

• What is a progressive cavity pump best suited for?

  Progressive cavity pumps are ideal for transferring shear-sensitive, viscous, abrasive, or solids-laden fluids with minimal pulsation and high accuracy.

• What maintenance does a Mono PC pump typically require?

• Can this unit handle high temperatures?

• Is this system suitable for CIP (Clean-In-Place)?

• What does the Spirax Sarco EP5 positioner do?

Food handling and transfer pumps are valued for reliable liquid movement across processing environments. Buyers typically prioritise corrosion resistance, hygienic design compliance, and suitable flow rates for specific applications. When purchasing used equipment, inspecting seals, gaskets and internal components for wear is essential, as these directly affect performance and food safety standards. Industrial users generally appreciate pumps offering straightforward maintenance and spare parts availability. Consideration of previous application history helps buyers avoid incompatibility issues with their processing requirements.
