Pump gets EHEDG seal of approval

The pump has been designed for the food and beverage industry and other processes where product contamination must be avoided. Features include Flotronic’s  ‘One Nut’ pump design which allows swift diaphragm access without disconnecting process pipework.

Internal surfaces can be effectively ‘cleaned in place’ or the pump can be dismantled easily for cleaning and inspection. Cleaning is aided by the provision of polished wetted surfaces to 0.8μm Ra maximum and an electro-polished overall finish. A support stand enables the pump to be inverted for full draining. 

Flotronic’s chief engineer, Peter Wheal, says: Reinforcing plates add support to the diaphragms and ensure that the pumps can withstand CIP pressures in the suction line of up to 5 Bar with no diaphragm damage. Other suction pressure challenges resulting from SIP systems, bulk tanks with head pressure of more than 0.5 Bar, re-circulation and thermal expansion can all be met by the ‘E’ Series."

Other features, including a diaphragm rupture detection system with instant pump shut-down alarm facility and BS, DIN and ISO hygienic connection options, all help to keep product contamination free and to ensure that hygienic standards are not compromised.
