Standard application of centrifugal pumps in the field of hygiene

Alfa Laval offers standard and specialty centrifugal pumps for hygienic industries such as the pharmaceutical and food industries. The SolidC pump is a newly developed pump for standard applications.

Depending on production capacity and cost, pumps can be divided into pumps for standardized operation and pumps for special application requirements. If a manufacturer wants to provide both a standard application pump and a high-efficiency pump for the health sector, all of its pumps must meet this quality and structural design criteria. In general, the performance specifications for pumps for standard applications are as follows: inlet side pressure to 4 bar, temperature zui up to 120 ° C, and viscosity range up to about 150 cP.

Selection is decisive

In order to achieve specific purposes, it is important to choose the right, suitable pump at all times. Only in this way can we ensure that the device is running well, meeting customer requirements and reducing costs to a large extent, as is the case with standard pumps. Because for the user, the total cost (the sum of the investment, installation, operation and maintenance costs of the pump) is always important. At the same time, the standard pump must meet the high requirements of product protection, cleaning ability and production capacity in operation.

In the design of the SolidC pump, special attention has been paid to the following: in addition to the modular structure, many components with common structural dimensions are used; the delivery time is shortened by standard configuration; flexibility (easy to install and store) And good overall price/performance ratio.

Product protection is essential

Users in the health sector attach great importance to product protection when conveying products, and it is also generally required that all equipment parts have good cleaning ability.

With the help of the advanced structural design and calculation tool software SolidC, these requirements can be fulfilled: due to the small tolerances of the internal structural parts and the special impeller structure, it can guarantee the good flow performance while protecting the delivered products, improving the equipment capacity and efficiency. Despite this, there is enough clearance to ensure effective cleaning using the CIP method.

The pump complies with the German national health standards and also meets the 3A and EHEDG standards. The important structural features of this type of pump are as follows:

â–  All parts in contact with the product are made of 316L or 1.4404 stainless steel;
â–  The surface is smooth and there are absolutely no dead ends in key parts;
â–  The specified compression of the O-ring seal at the seal;
â–  O-ring groove is designed to withstand vacuum and pressure shocks;
â–  Fully open impeller with hygienic O-ring seal, no suction (no shrinkage) in the suction pipe;
â–  Stainless steel pipe joints and guards (sanitary safety, to avoid corrosion).

Shaft seals are a critical point for all pumps. In order to meet the minimum requirements for downtime, this standard pump uses a particularly advanced seal: the external (shaft end) unloading (depressurization) shaft seal for special series of pumps that can be used for difficult operations. This is done so that all types of pumps in the series can be sealed with only one type of shaft.

The advantages of this design come down to the following:

â–  Pumps of all construction sizes have only one seal (simplified storage);
â–  Unload the seal so that it is not affected by pressure changes or pressure shocks;
â–  Tested, long structural life;
â–  Smaller seal size reduces wear and tear;
â–  a fixed clamp ring (lock ring) placed on the rear wall;
â–  The external seal is not affected by the media.

Simple maintenance and reduced costs

The industrial process is constantly improving and the parking time needs to be shorter and shorter. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the simple and quick maintenance of pumps designed for standard applications in order to replace the shaft seals and O-rings in a particularly short period of time (where it is necessary within 10 minutes). In this way, the user of the pump can significantly reduce the maintenance cost of the pump. SolidC pumps are also superior in this regard:

â–  can be sealed from the front;
â–  The coupling is easy to install and adjust;
â–  Clamped connection pump casing;
â–  A complete set of retrofit components that can be easily replaced from a one-way acting shaft seal to a one-way flushed shaft seal;
■ The pump casing is free to rotate 360°.
It is important for the user to know which pumps are needed and which ones to pay special attention to when selecting pumps for general operation and high performance special applications.


Goji Berry also known as wolf berry is the fruit of the Lycium barbarum or Lycium chinense, two closely related species. This kind of fruit mainly grows in China and is commonly use in Chinese daily cuisine for making soup or as tea. It`s full of nutrient value and has numerous implied health effects and has been termed as super fruit. Goji berry have three kinds of quality and different grades. The qualities are Conventional, Low pesticide and Organic. Grades are 180pcs, 280pcs, 350pcs, and 500pcs per every 50 grams.
