Moody Centrifugal pump

• Transferring liquid food products such as milk, juices, and sauces within processing lines.
• Circulating cleaning-in-place (CIP) solutions for hygienic equipment sanitation.
• Moving water or other non-viscous liquids in food and beverage production.
• Filling and emptying tanks or vessels in food handling operations.

Typical flow rates

Centrifugal pumps of this class typically offer flow rates ranging from 5 m³/hr to 50 m³/hr, depending on impeller size and motor power.

Power supply

Units like this commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, with motor powers typically from 1.5 kW to 7.5 kW for general food processing duties.

Construction material

For food contact applications, these pumps are typically constructed from 316-grade stainless steel for wetted parts, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Connections

Commonly features hygienic connections such as Tri-Clamp, DIN, or RJT fittings, with sizes typically ranging from 1.5" to 3".

Seal type

Often equipped with mechanical seals, which can be single or double, depending on the product and application requirements.

Typical operating temperature

Designed to handle product temperatures typically up to 90-100°C for standard food processing applications.

• What types of liquids are suitable for a centrifugal pump?

  Centrifugal pumps are best suited for low to medium viscosity liquids, such as water, milk, juices, and thin sauces. They are less effective with highly viscous products or those containing large solids.

• How do I determine if this pump is suitable for my specific product?

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

• Can this pump be used for CIP (Cleaning-in-Place) systems?

• What spare parts should I consider stocking for a pump of this type?

Centrifugal pumps are widely regarded as reliable workhorses in laboratory and pharmaceutical applications. Buyers typically value their smooth operation, low maintenance requirements, and consistent performance across diverse fluid handling tasks. When purchasing used models, buyers commonly prioritize checking seal condition, impeller integrity, and motor functionality. Industry sentiment favours units from established manufacturers with documented service histories. Key strengths include durability, cost-effectiveness compared to new equipment, and suitability for both routine and demanding applications.
