MDM Pumps Centrifugal pump

Applications & Use Cases

• Transferring liquid food products such as milk, juices, and purees.
• Circulating cleaning-in-place (CIP) solutions within processing lines.
• Moving ingredients like brines, sauces, and oils between tanks.
• Use in beverage production for handling water, syrups, and finished drinks.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Centrifugal pumps of this power class commonly handle flow rates ranging from 10,000 to 50,000 litres per hour, depending on head pressure and impeller design.

Power supply

This unit is specified as 11kW, 3-phase, which typically requires a 400V, 50Hz supply common in UK industrial settings.

Construction material

As a food-grade pump, it is constructed from stainless steel, typically 316L, to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Connections

Units of this type commonly feature hygienic clamp (e.g., Tri-Clamp) or flanged connections, with sizes typically ranging from DN50 to DN100.

Seal type

Mechanical seals are commonly used in food processing pumps to prevent leakage and maintain hygienic conditions.

Typical operating temperature

Designed for food processing, these pumps typically operate effectively across a broad temperature range, often from 0°C to 100°C.
