Packo Pumps has just successfully produced and tested his biggest pump ever. This colossus weighs 1.6 ton, has a flow of 1200 m³/h and is driven by a motor of 200 kW.
The production was made possible thanks to the expansion of the test bank, which is part of a complete renewal of the test lab. Packo is now able to produce pumps with flow rates up to 1600 m³/h at a maximum power of 250 kW!
When the renovation is fully completed, by the end of this year, it will even be possible to manufacture pumps with a flow rate up to 2000(!) m³/h.
Increasing demand for bigger pumps:
The tested pump will be installed in the largest dairy farm of Europe. For them it will be the biggest pump ever taken into production.
Also in breweries, the juices industry and industries with filtration applications in general, the call for stainless steel pumps with a flow rate over 1000m³/h gets louder.
Packo is now the only player on the market that can offer a pump with such a large flow in a hygienic execution, in accordance with European Regulation 1935/2004 EC.
2 million cows:
One more fact about the pump to finish off. A good dairy cow produces about 40 liters of milk per day or rounded off 2 liters per hour. If we extend this fact to the pump, we can state the pump equals 2 million cows!
