What is a Hygienic Centrifugal Pump?
A hygienic centrifugal pump is a type of pump used in the food industry to transfer liquids in a hygienic manner. Hygienic Centrifugal Pumps have the feature of operating under vacuum. Its water cartridge seal ring structure prevents the material from freezing between the seal surfaces, thus avoiding damage to the seal. Thanks to this structure vacuum tanks maintain healthy system efficiency. These pumps, especially preferred in many dairy factories, are often referred to as "stainless steel milk pumps". In food pumps like this, the most important factor is the use of corrosion-resistant, bacteria-free, and food contact suitable stainless material. Hygienic Stainless Centrifugal Food Pumps produced by MIT have all the necessary features for transferring liquids such as milk, fruit juices, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, beer, medicines, and chemicals in the industry.
Hygienic centrifugal pumps produced by MIT are made of 316L quality stainless steel. Thanks to its high thickness, it is long-lasting against corrosion wear. Friction is reduced with the special design of the cover and fan. Thus, hygienic blind spots where bacteria can adhere are eliminated. An advantage provided by its special structure is that the speed of the fluid inside the pump can reach the maximum level. It also ensures that control and cleaning applications can be completed quickly with its easy disassembly feature.
