Technical data
The LKH pump is a highly efficient and econominal centrifugal pump, which meets the requirements of sanitary and gentle
product treatment and chemical resistance. LKH Prime UltraPure is available in the following sizes -20. The instruction manual
is part of the delivery: Read the instructions carefully. The pump is very heavy, which is why Alfa Laval recommends the
use of a lifting crane when handling the pump.
