Better liquid transfer.

A new range of quick-strip and easy to maintain centrifugal pumps, which are ideal for transferring liquids in dairy, food and other similar process applications, has been introduced by Pump Engineering Ltd.

CSF-CS and CSA pumps can handle capacities from 1 to 500[m.sup.3]/hour with heads up to 100 metres. They are manufactured in investment cast AISI 316L stainless steel for all wetted parts, with a 6 vane open impeller that enables the handling of liquids containing particles or small solids.

The pumps, which incorporate the key features associated with hygienic pumping such as electropolished finishing of all surfaces, have been designed for CIP cleaning with the elimination of stagnant areas. They are also fitted with a clamp facility allowing for quick and simple dismantling. The CSA version has an electropolished finish to 0.5[micro]m Ra and is approved to US FSA 3A standard or European EHEDG standards. Depending on the application CFS-CS and CSA pumps can be supplied with an internal or external single mechanical seal or flushed double mechanical seal for high-temperature liquids or those with a tendency to crystallise. Elastomers are available in a choice of Viton, EPDM, silicon or PTFE.

Typical applications include cream, milk, oils, fruit juices, high purity water, cellular suspensions, sugar solutions, yeast and melted butter.
