MDM Pumps Centrifugal pump

• Transferring liquids in brewing and beverage production.
• Circulating cleaning-in-place (CIP) solutions in food processing plants.
• Handling dairy products such as milk, cream, and yoghurt.
• Pumping pharmaceutical ingredients and solutions.
• Managing wastewater and effluent treatment processes in industrial settings.

Typical capacity

Centrifugal pumps of this class typically handle flow rates from 5 m³/hr to 100 m³/hr, depending on the specific impeller and motor configuration.

Power supply

This unit is specified as 4kW, 3-phase, which commonly refers to a 400V, 50Hz supply in the UK.

Construction material

The 'Stainless' description indicates the wetted parts are typically 304 or 316 grade stainless steel, suitable for hygienic applications.

Typical head

For a 4kW unit, a common maximum head would be in the range of 20 to 40 metres, depending on the pump curve.

Seal type

Units of this type commonly feature mechanical seals, which may be single or double, depending on the application requirements.

Inlet/outlet connections

Common connections include hygienic clamp (e.g., Tri-Clamp), flanged, or threaded, with sizes typically ranging from DN40 to DN100.

• What kind of liquids can this pump handle?

  MDM centrifugal pumps are generally designed for low-viscosity liquids, including water, beverages, dairy products, and chemical solutions. High-viscosity fluids or those with large solids may require a different pump type.

• Is this pump suitable for hygienic applications?

• What maintenance does a used centrifugal pump typically require?

• Can this pump handle solids?

• What spare parts are commonly available for MDM pumps?

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.
