Hygienic pump range
25 October 2018
Flotronic’s ‘E’ Series pumps meet the exacting performance standards required by EHEDG (the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group). They offer peace of mind for the food, beverage, dairy and pharmaceutical industries and other environments or processes where avoidance of product contamination is paramount.

The 10in version with 2in connections offers a pump solution for customers with low to mid-range flow rate applications; customers seeking flow rates as high as 500L/min will find the 12in pump with 1½ to 3in connections suitable.
The pumps have been designed with ease of cleaning for all product contact and non-product contact parts. The 10in ‘E’ Series pump has a support stand allowing rotation of the pump for easy and effective media draining. Gravity separates the ball valves from their seats in this inverted position allowing cleaning fluids to easily drain away from the inverted delivery nozzle.
The 12in ‘E’ Series pump has check ball valve seats engineered to allow drainage without inversion. This avoids the need to rotate a relatively large machine and lets the 12in pump remain in its normal operating position.
The features of the ‘E’ Series combine with Flotronic’s ‘One-Nut’ technology to reduce down time and cleaning costs, and are said to maintain and even improve sanitary levels on site, and prevent wastage with less ‘hold up’ of product.
Reinforced diaphragms are standard on the ‘E’ Series. Reinforcing plates ensure the pumps can withstand CIP/SIP pressures up to 6 bar in the production line. This means the pumps can be Cleaned in Place using fully automated CIP units incorporating external CIP pumps, without the need to bypass the pump. All ‘E’ Series pumps are available with the option of BS, DIN or ISO hygienic connections.
