Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, flow rates typically range from a few litres per minute up to several cubic metres per hour, depending on pump design and product viscosity.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type are 3-phase industrial power supplies, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying motor power ratings.

Materials of construction

Wetted parts are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316L) to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Pump type

Scottish Electric Group manufactured various pump types; for food processing, this could be a centrifugal, positive displacement (e.g., rotary lobe, progressive cavity), or hygienic diaphragm pump.

Connection types

Commonly features hygienic connections such as Tri-Clamp, DIN, or SMS fittings for easy integration into existing pipework.

Seal type

Mechanical seals are typically used to prevent leakage and maintain hygiene, often with options for single or double seals depending on application.
