One of the top pump selections in the food and beverage industry is the centrifugal pump. This is a versatile, practical and highly efficient pump which has a long history of providing proper flow and control throughout a system, even with the low-viscosity type of materials.
As the name implies, the sanitary centrifugal pump uses the rotation of a propeller to pump the liquid in the system at the required flow rate. By speeding up or slowing down the speed of the propeller system, the flow can be easily managed through the lines and throughout the system. The pump itself can also be run according to pumping requirements, allowing for
Affordable and Long Lasting
The design of the sanitary centrifugal pump and the ease of installation into any system makes these pumps an affordable option in any application. They can be manufactured to meet all standards and requirements for both FDA as well as 3A standards so that they can be used in any facility without concern.
Cost Effective To Operate
The pump itself can also be run according to pumping requirements, allowing for energy efficient use and also extending the life cycle of the pump. Additionally, with the use of valves, these pumps can be effectively throttled without producing excessive pressure that has to be relieved through the system, which can be a concern with other options in pumps.
The option to use the sanitary centrifugal pump at a motor speed of 1750 rpm will reduce the operating coat while also boosting the life of bearings and seals. As the need for maintenance requirements and parts is lower on these pumps, the cost-effectiveness of the centrifugal pump increases.
For low viscosity liquids, this is the ideal pump in most applications. When liquids start to have higher viscosities, positive displacement pumps may be the best option.
