• Circulating brines, sauces, and flavourings in food production.
• Handling CIP (Clean-in-Place) solutions for equipment sanitation.

Typical capacity

Fristam FPX series pumps, for this class of equipment, commonly offer flow rates from a few cubic metres per hour up to approximately 200 m³/h, depending on the specific impeller and motor configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK, with motor power varying based on required head and flow.

Materials of construction

Wetted parts are typically manufactured from 316L stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance, with FDA-compliant elastomers for seals.

Inlet/outlet connections

Commonly found with sanitary clamp (e.g., Tri-Clamp) or DIN connections, with sizes typically ranging from DN50 to DN100 (2 to 4 inches) for the FPX712 series.

Seal type

Often equipped with single or double mechanical seals, suitable for various product types and CIP regimes.

Motor enclosure

Typically supplied with an IP55 rated motor for protection against dust and water jets, suitable for washdown environments.
