APV Low Pump

• Transferring low-viscosity liquids in dairy processing, such as milk, cream, and whey.
• Circulating cleaning-in-place (CIP) solutions within food and beverage production lines.
• Handling various liquid food ingredients like juices, oils, and sauces.
• Used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries for hygienic fluid transfer.
• General utility applications requiring efficient and sanitary liquid movement.

Typical capacity

Centrifugal pumps of this class typically offer flow rates ranging from 5,000 to 50,000 litres per hour, depending on the specific impeller and motor configuration.

Power supply

Units commonly found on units of this type typically operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, often 400V, 50Hz, with motor power varying from 2.2 kW to 11 kW.

Materials of construction

Wetted parts are typically constructed from 316L stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance, suitable for food and pharmaceutical applications.

Connections

Commonly features hygienic connections such as DIN, SMS, or Clamp, with sizes typically ranging from DN50 to DN100.

Seal type

Often equipped with a mechanical seal, which can be single or double, depending on the application and product characteristics.

Operating temperature

Typically designed to handle liquid temperatures up to 90-100°C, suitable for hot CIP and product transfer.
