Moody Centrifugal pump

• Transfer of low-viscosity liquids in food and beverage processing.
• Circulation duties in CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems.
• General liquid transfer in pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
• Wastewater treatment and effluent handling in industrial settings.

Typical capacity

For this class of pump, flow rates typically range from 5 m³/hr to 50 m³/hr, depending on impeller size and motor speed.

Power supply

This unit is specified as 2.2kW, 3-phase. Commonly, industrial pumps of this type operate on 400V, 50Hz three-phase power in the UK.

Construction material

As a 'stainless centrifugal pump', it is typically constructed from 304 or 316 stainless steel, suitable for hygienic applications.

Inlet/Outlet connections

Commonly, these pumps feature hygienic connections such as RJT, DIN, or Tri-Clamp, with sizes typically ranging from 1.5" to 3".

Seal type

Units of this type commonly utilise mechanical seals, which may be single or double, depending on the application and liquid properties.

Motor enclosure

Industrial motors for pumps are typically IP55 rated, offering protection against dust and water jets.

• What kind of liquids can a Moody centrifugal pump handle?

  Moody centrifugal pumps are generally designed for low to medium viscosity liquids, including water, milk, juices, and various chemical solutions. They are not typically suited for highly viscous fluids or those with large solids.

• Is this pump suitable for hygienic applications?

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

• Can this pump be used with a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)?

• What spare parts are commonly needed for these 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.
