- Typical throughput
- For this class of pump, throughput can typically range from hundreds to several thousand kilograms per hour, depending on product viscosity and motor power.
- Construction material
- Units designed for food processing are commonly constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Inlet/outlet size
- Commonly, inlet and outlet connections for this type of industrial pump range from 50mm to 150mm, accommodating various flow requirements.
- Power supply
- Industrial food processing pumps typically operate on a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.
- Pump type
- Given the throughput and application, this is likely a positive displacement pump, suitable for handling viscous products.
- Hygiene features
- Units of this type commonly feature sanitary connections (e.g., DIN, RJT, Tri-Clamp) and designs that facilitate easy cleaning and sterilisation (CIP/SIP capable).
