The Brau Beviale 2016 (November 8-10) in Nuremberg, Germany provided the perfect platform for Pentair to launch the SP hygienic centrifugal pump series for food and beverage applications.
Designed for continuous operation on thin liquids with a viscosity up to 500 mPa s, the new generation pumps are suitable for process and CIP/SIP applications. They offer a very gentle and steady product treatment, which makes them an ideal solution also for sensitive product applications like milk and cream products or yeast. The pumps can handle flow rates up to 160 m3/h and pump heads up to 75 mWc.
Features of the new SP pump series include a high-quality stainless steel construction – all product wetted parts are stainless steel (1.4404/316L) – and an optimized hydraulic design for the pump housing and impeller, combined with a very smooth surface. The combination of these features results in an excellent cleanability and a high efficiency with reduced energy consumption compared to predecessor models.
Pentair’s hygienic centrifugal pumps, available with IEC standard motors and a wide range of seals, provide flexible and accurate adaptation to customer-specific requirements, which contributes to lower Total Cost of Ownership.
The pump serie’s compact, maintenance-friendly design allows for a fast and easy maintenance without the need for special tools. This reduces time and labor needs significantly and minimizes plant downtime.
