Flowserve - Flowserve Siemens Pump

Applications & Use Cases

• Transferring viscous food products such as sauces, purees, and batters.
• Circulating cleaning-in-place (CIP) solutions within processing lines.
• Metering ingredients in precise quantities for mixing and blending operations.
• Handling delicate food items where shear-sensitive pumping is required.

Typical Specifications

Typical flow rate

For this class of pump, flow rates typically range from 5 to 50 cubic metres per hour, depending on the specific impeller and motor configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 400V, 3-phase electrical supply, consistent with industrial food processing environments in the UK.

Motor power

Motor power for similar pumps typically ranges from 1.1 kW to 7.5 kW, influencing the pump's maximum head and flow capabilities.

Materials of construction

Wetted parts are commonly manufactured from 316L stainless steel to meet food hygiene standards and resist corrosion from various food products and cleaning agents.

Sealing type

Mechanical seals are typically employed, often with options for single or double seals, suitable for hygienic applications and preventing product leakage.

Connections

Process connections commonly feature hygienic clamp (e.g., Tri-Clamp) or flanged fittings, ranging from DN50 to DN100, for easy integration into existing pipework.
