New pumps for food processes

The new range of Inoxpa Prolac HCP hygienic centrifugal pumps are ideal for pumping applications which require high levels of hygiene, resistance to chemical agents and gentle handling of delicate ingredients.

Available through pumping specialist Michael Smith Engineers, the range of compact, close-coupled centrifugal pumps are designed to provide flow rates up to 220m3/hour, maximum differential pressure (heads) up to 140 metres and maximum system pressures of 16 bar.

The pumps are available in 316L stainless steel, are EHEDG certified and will be particularly suitable for main process pumping duties in the dairy and beverage industries, as well as pharmaceutical and cosmetics.

As standard, they feature a single internal hygienic mechanical seal, a stationary face of carbon, a rotating face of silicon carbide and gaskets in EPDM. In addition, clean in place and steam in place is possible without the need to dismantle the pumps.
