MDM Pumps Centrifugal pump

• Transferring liquid food products such as milk, juices, and sauces within processing lines.
• Circulating cleaning-in-place (CIP) solutions in hygienic process systems.
• Moving water or other non-viscous liquids in food and beverage production facilities.
• Use in brewing and winemaking for transferring wort, must, or finished products.

Typical capacity

Centrifugal pumps of this class typically offer flow rates ranging from 5 m³/hr to 50 m³/hr, depending on the specific impeller and motor configuration.

Power supply

This unit is specified as 4kW, 3 Phase. For this type of industrial equipment, a 400V, 50Hz three-phase supply is commonly required in the UK.

Materials of construction

As a 'Stainless' MDM pump, the wetted parts are typically constructed from 316L stainless steel, suitable for hygienic applications in food processing.

Typical connections

Units of this type commonly feature hygienic connections such as Tri-Clamp, DIN, or RJT, with sizes typically ranging from 1.5" to 3".

Seal type

Mechanical seals are standard for centrifugal pumps in food processing, often single or double, to prevent leakage and ensure hygiene.

Footprint

A pump of this power rating typically has a compact footprint, often around 600mm L x 300mm W x 400mm H, excluding pipework.

• What kind of products can this pump handle?

  Centrifugal pumps are best suited for low to medium viscosity liquids. They are not typically recommended for highly viscous products or those with large particulates, as this can reduce efficiency or cause damage.

• Is this pump suitable for CIP (Cleaning-in-Place)?

• What maintenance is typically required for a pump like this?

• Can this pump be used for hot liquids?

• What should I consider regarding installation?

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.
