MDM D32.2K Centrifugal pump

• Transferring liquid and low-viscosity food products such as milk, juices, and sauces.
• Circulating cleaning-in-place (CIP) solutions within processing lines.
• Handling ingredients in brewing and beverage production.
• Moving water and other utilities within a food processing facility.

Typical flow rate

For this class of pump, flow rates commonly range from 5 to 30 cubic metres per hour, depending on head and impeller design.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a 3-phase industrial electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Inlet/Outlet connections

Commonly features hygienic connections such as tri-clamp or DIN fittings, with sizes typically ranging from 25mm to 80mm.

Materials of construction

Process-contact parts are typically made from 316L stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Motor speed

Units often operate at speeds around 2900 RPM for standard applications, providing efficient fluid transfer.

Seal type

Typically fitted with a mechanical seal, often single or double, suitable for hygienic applications.

• What does 'hygienic pump' mean?

  A hygienic pump is designed for easy cleaning, often featuring polished internal surfaces and quick-release connections to prevent product build-up and bacterial growth, crucial for food processing.

• Can this pump handle solids?

• Is this pump suitable for viscous products?

• What maintenance is typically required?

• What certifications should I look for?

Centrifugal pumps are widely regarded as reliable workhorses in laboratory and pharmaceutical applications. Buyers typically value their smooth operation, low maintenance requirements, and consistent performance across diverse fluid handling tasks. When purchasing used models, buyers commonly prioritize checking seal condition, impeller integrity, and motor functionality. Industry sentiment favours units from established manufacturers with documented service histories. Key strengths include durability, cost-effectiveness compared to new equipment, and suitability for both routine and demanding applications.
