About Sanitary Centrifugal Pumps
HIGHLY EFFICIENT CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS FOR ALL INDUSTRIES
At Hunter Pumps, we specialise in offering sanitary centrifugal pumps that deliver important benefits to industries across Australia. Our expertise lies in providing low-maintenance pumps with a simple design for hygienic applications. Known for their greater operational efficiency, these pumps are ideal for managing low-viscosity fluids with high flow rates and low pressure. They are widely used in sanitary process industries, including beverage, food, dairy, and pharmaceutical sectors.
Our pumps feature an easy self-cleaning system, hygienic design, and traceability options, making us the trusted partner of many of the world’s leading brands. Committed to meeting strict sanitation requirements and Workplace Health & Safety (WHS/OH&S) obligations, we offer both efficient pumping solutions and unparalleled services.
About Sanitary Centrifugal Pumps
Sanitary centrifugal pumps are used in food processing and similar operations to transport and metre solutions, slurries, and colloids of food and agricultural materials. These pumps ensure cleanliness and hygiene during the process.
There are two types of sanitary pumps:
Centrifugal pumps use rotation to impart velocity to a liquid, converting that velocity into flow. They are typically powered by an engine or electric motor.
The centrifugal pump is the most common choice for pumping systems, applying centrifugal force to generate velocity. It uses rotating impellers to increase this velocity and then pushes fluids through an outlet valve. Industries such as food processing, cosmetics, dairy, and pharmaceuticals can greatly benefit from the efficient movement of liquid offered by these pumps.
On the other hand, positive displacement pumps operate differently. They use gears, rollers or impellers to move fluid into a fixed cavity. When the liquid exists, a vacuum is created that draws in more fluid, making these pumps another essential tool in various industries.
At Hunter Pump Industrial, we are proud to offer these efficient pumping solutions. Trust in our 25 years of experience and commitment to provide you with the highest quality pumps for your specific needs.
What is a Sanitary Centrifugal Pump?
Sanitary centrifugal pumps are excellent at handling low-viscosity fluids quickly and efficiently, making them reliable and robust equipment for hygienic applications. This is because low-viscosity liquids are extremely easy to accelerate with kinetic energy. Centrifugal pumps use centrifugal force, moving fluids out of the pump through the kinetic energy that the impellers’ movement produces.
These pumps can produce high flow rates with a consistent, non-pulsing flow, with valves at the pump output allowing the user to adjust flow rates easily. They can move a larger quantity of gallons per minute, contributing to their overall efficiency.
What is a Sanitary Centrifugal Pump?
Sanitary centrifugal pumps work by rotating the impeller on a shaft, which creates a centrifugal force that moves the liquid forward. This force increases the liquid’s energy, converting it into pressure in the discharge collector. The liquid enters the impeller at a smaller diameter and exits at a larger diameter, collected in a casing. The flow is then directed to a discharge nozzle using a volute design, which helps convert energy into pressure.
Features & Benefits
- High discharge flow and pressure
- Wide range of inlet and discharge sizes
- Flexible for various fluid temperatures
- Simple design for easy cleaning-in-place
- High pressure filtering
- Multiple material options for parts construction
- Highly efficient for low viscous fluid handling
- Uniquely designed semi-open impeller for superior performance
- Continuous duty pumps maintain performance at 100% duty cycle
- Operate without pumped fluid or external lubrication for an extended period
- Can move media either vertically or horizontally, depending on the direction of the pump stator/rotor assembly
Specifications
At Hunter Pumps, we prioritise the following key specifications for our sanitary centrifugal pumps:
- Maximum discharge pressure
- Maximum discharge flow
- Discharge size
- Inlet size
- Media temperature
Various power sources are used for these pumps, including AC, DC, compressed air, diesel fuel, gasoline, natural gas, hydraulic systems, water, steam, and solar energy. Sanitary pumps without integrated power sources typically come with a drive shaft for motor connection. Manual pumps rely on hand or foot effort, making them suitable for specific applications without electrical power.
Our team is always ready to support you in choosing the right pump to handle your specific requirements.
