What industries commonly use Fristam FPE series pumps?

Fristam FPE series pumps are widely used in the food and beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries due to their hygienic design and gentle product handling capabilities.

Is this pump suitable for viscous products?

While primarily designed for low to medium viscosity liquids, centrifugal pumps like the FPE742/185A can handle some moderately viscous products. For highly viscous fluids, positive displacement pumps are generally more suitable.

What are the typical maintenance requirements for this type of pump?

Routine maintenance typically involves checking and replacing mechanical seals, inspecting bearings, and ensuring motor alignment. Its design often facilitates straightforward disassembly for cleaning and servicing.

Can this pump be used for Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems?

Yes, the hygienic design and robust construction of Fristam FPE pumps make them well-suited for CIP applications, capable of handling cleaning solutions at various temperatures and flow rates.

What does 'low NPSH requirements' mean?

Low NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) requirements mean the pump needs less pressure at its inlet to prevent cavitation. This is beneficial for applications with limited suction head or when handling volatile liquids.
