Moody Centrifugal pump

• Transferring liquids in dairies, breweries, and beverage production.
• Circulating brines, sauces, and purees in food manufacturing.
• Handling CIP (Clean-in-Place) solutions in hygienic environments.
• Moving ingredients in confectionery and bakery processes.
• Pumping water and other utilities within food processing plants.

Typical capacity

Centrifugal pumps of this class typically offer flow rates ranging from a few cubic meters per hour up to several tens of cubic meters per hour, depending on impeller size and motor power.

Power supply

This unit is specified as 2.2kW, 3-phase. For this type of industrial equipment, 3-phase power is standard, commonly 400V 50Hz in the UK.

Construction material

As a 'stainless centrifugal pump', it is typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316L) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Seal type

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

Inlet/Outlet connections

Commonly, these pumps feature hygienic connections such as Tri-Clamp, DIN, or RJT, with sizes varying based on flow rate requirements.

Operating temperature

Typically designed to handle liquids across a broad temperature range, often from chilled to hot CIP temperatures, but specific limits depend on seal and gasket materials.

• What kind of liquids can this pump handle?

  Centrifugal pumps are generally suitable for low to medium viscosity liquids, including water, milk, juices, and thin sauces. They are less ideal for highly viscous products or those with large solids.

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

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

• How do I determine if this pump has sufficient head and flow for my application?

• 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.
