Reach - Transfer Pump

• Transferring viscous liquids and slurries within food processing lines.
• Moving ingredients like sauces, purees, or batters in confectionery and bakery operations.
• Handling dairy products such as yoghurt or cream in processing plants.
• Used in beverage production for transferring juices or concentrates.
• Suitable for pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications requiring gentle product handling.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, flow rates typically range from 500 to 10,000 litres per hour, depending on pump design and motor power.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on 3-phase industrial power, typically 400V, 50Hz.

Motor power

Motor power for industrial transfer pumps commonly ranges from 1.5 kW to 15 kW, depending on the required head and flow.

Construction material

Process-grade transfer pumps are typically constructed from 304 or 316 stainless steel for contact parts, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Inlet/outlet connections

Commonly feature hygienic connections such as Tri-Clamp or DIN fittings, with typical diameters ranging from 1.5 to 4 inches.

Pump type

Reach pumps of this nature are often positive displacement, such as rotary lobe or progressive cavity, suitable for viscous products.

Seal type

Mechanical seals are typically used, often with options for single or double seals depending on application requirements.

• What types of products can this pump handle?

  Transfer pumps of this design are typically suited for a wide range of viscous and semi-viscous liquids, including those with particulates, such as sauces, creams, purees, and batters. Buyers should confirm suitability for their specific product with the seller.

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

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

• Can the pump's flow rate be adjusted?

• What is the typical footprint of a pump of this capacity?

Food processing pumps are valued for reliability and durability in continuous operations. Buyers typically prioritise corrosion resistance, hygiene compliance, and consistent flow rates. When purchasing used units, inspecting seals, impellers and motor condition proves essential. Industry sentiment favours models with straightforward maintenance requirements and availability of spare parts. Stainless steel construction and gentle handling capabilities for delicate products are consistently sought features.
