Moody Centrifugal pump

• Transferring low-viscosity liquids in food and beverage production.
• Circulating cleaning-in-place (CIP) solutions.
• Handling pharmaceutical ingredients and solutions.
• Moving water or other non-corrosive fluids in general industrial processes.

Typical capacity

For this class of centrifugal pump, capacities typically range from 5 to 100 cubic metres per hour, depending on head requirements.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, with power ratings typically from 1.5 kW to 11 kW.

Construction material

Centrifugal pumps for hygienic applications are typically constructed from 316L stainless steel for wetted parts, ensuring corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning.

Common connections

Process connections commonly include hygienic clamp (Tri-Clamp), RJT, DIN, or SMS fittings, with sizes typically ranging from 1.5 to 4 inches.

Seal type

Mechanical seals are typically employed, often single or double, with material choices dependent on the fluid being handled.

Typical operating temperature

These pumps are commonly designed to handle liquids within a temperature range of -10°C to +100°C, though specific seals may extend this.

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

  Moody centrifugal pumps are typically designed for low-viscosity liquids, such as water, milk, juices, and CIP solutions. They are generally not suitable for highly viscous products or those containing large solids.

• Is this pump suitable for hygienic applications?

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

• How do I determine if this pump is correctly sized for my application?

• Can this pump be used with a variable frequency drive (VFD)?

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.
