MDM Pumps Centrifugal pump

• Transferring liquids in food and beverage processing, such as milk, juices, or oils.
• Circulating cleaning solutions in Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems.
• Handling pharmaceutical ingredients and solutions where hygiene is critical.
• Moving chemical solutions in industrial processes, provided material compatibility.

Typical flow rates

For a pump of this power, flow rates typically range from 20 to 150 cubic metres per hour, depending on head requirements.

Typical head

Units in this class commonly achieve discharge heads between 10 and 60 metres.

Power supply

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

Construction material

As a 'Stainless' unit, it is typically constructed from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel, suitable for hygienic applications.

Seal type

Centrifugal pumps of this type commonly feature mechanical seals, with various material options depending on the pumped medium.

Inlet/Outlet connections

Connections are typically flanged or hygienic clamp (e.g., Tri-Clamp) and vary in size, commonly from DN50 to DN100 for this power range.

• What kind of liquids can this pump handle?

  MDM centrifugal pumps are generally designed for low to medium viscosity liquids. The 'Stainless' construction indicates suitability for corrosive or hygienic applications.

• Is this pump suitable for continuous operation?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used centrifugal pump?

• Can this pump handle solids?

• What are the typical installation requirements?

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.
