4 Description of the Pump (Set)
4.1 General description
▪
Hygienic pump
Pump for handling fluids which are not chemically aggressive, are free from solids
and do not require hermetic sealing.
Hygienic side channel pump for the food and beverage industry and the
pharmaceutical industry
All pumps of this type series are fitted with standardised mechanical seals to
EN 12756. This ensures reliable operation and interchangeability.
When different standardised mechanical seals are used, verify the axial length of the
seal.
Type and material of the mechanical seal are specifically selected to match the nature
and composition of the fluid to be handled.
NOTE
Before using the pump for any fluids different from those originally specified, check
that the mechanical seals and joint rings are suitable for that fluid.
If certified seal types and/or materials are used, make sure that the replacement
seals also meet the certification requirements.
