- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, flow rates commonly range from 5,000 to 20,000 litres per hour, depending on product viscosity and pump configuration.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically operate on a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply, requiring appropriate industrial connections.
- Pump type
- Transfer pumps for food applications are commonly positive displacement (e.g., rotary lobe, progressive cavity) or centrifugal, selected based on product shear sensitivity and viscosity.
- Materials of construction
- Wetted parts are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Connections
- Commonly features standard hygienic connections such as Tri-Clamp or DIN fittings, with sizes typically ranging from 2 to 4 inches.
- Typical footprint
- A standalone unit of this nature typically occupies a floor area of approximately 0.5m x 0.8m, plus space for pipework and access.
