Flowserve Siemens Pump

• 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 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.

• What types of products can this pump handle?

  This category of pump is generally suitable for a wide range of liquid and semi-viscous food products, including those with small particulates, due to its design for hygienic and gentle handling.

• Is this pump suitable for CIP (Cleaning-In-Place) systems?

• What maintenance is typically required for a pump of this kind?

• What certifications should I look for?

• Can this pump handle abrasive products?

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.
