Hygienic addition
15 November 2018
AxFlow has added the new Waukesha Universal 3 pump to its product range for hygienic processing applications. Complementing the Universal 1 and Universal 2 pumps, Universal 3 features the high levels of hygienic design and precise pumping characteristics of the Universal 2 and an improved choice of seal types.
The Universal 3 design is compatible with SIP/CIP requirements, offers the same low levels of product slippage and heat build-up within the pump chamber as the Universal 2 but, with the option of lip seals, favoured by many within the confectionary industry when handling chocolate. In addition, Universal 3 has a redesigned seal area so that all seals are front-loaded and accessed from the product side, making maintenance easier.
Available with stainless steel gear cases as standard, the Universal 3 can accommodate pressures between 20.7 and 34.5bar and temperatures to 149°C. The pump can dry run and is suitable for handling food grade fat applications without there being a need to mix the product with water. It can deliver flows between 2.5 and 450m³/h.
