- Typical flow rate
- For this class of equipment, flow rates commonly range from a few litres per hour up to approximately 150 litres per hour, depending on the eccentric shaft setting.
- Operating pressure
- Units of this type typically operate at pressures suitable for sensitive fluid transfer, often up to 4-6 bar.
- Fluid temperature range
- Commonly, these pumps can handle fluid temperatures up to 80-90°C, with higher temperatures possible for CIP/SIP cycles.
- Wetted materials
- Product-wetted surfaces are typically made from biocompatible materials such as stainless steel (e.g., 316L) and medical-grade elastomers to ensure product integrity and hygiene.
- Motor type
- Often equipped with a brushless DC motor or similar, allowing for precise speed control and consistent flow.
- Power supply
- Typically requires a standard industrial power supply, commonly 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase, with appropriate frequency for UK operations.
- Cleaning compatibility
- Units are commonly designed for Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilise-in-Place (SIP) processes, crucial for pharmaceutical and food applications.
