Centrifugal pumps for hygienic applications

In industries such as food, beverage, dairy, and pharmaceuticals, maintaining stringent hygiene standards during the pumping of various liquids is paramount. Challenges include ensuring optimal cleanability, process reliability, and flexibility to handle different operational requirements and medium types.

Maximize hygiene and efficiency in fluid handling

The GEA Hilge HYGIA is a single-stage, end-suction centrifugal pump designed for advanced hygienic applications. Made from deep-drawn CrNiMo rolled steel, the pump has a smooth, pore-free surface that ensures optimum cleanability and high process reliability. The flexible design, with a variety of connection and mounting options, allows it to be tailored to individual requirements. An extensive range of mechanical seals ensures an optimal sealing solution for every pumped medium. The stepless alignment of the discharge port and different housing variants support system pressures up to 25 bar. The pump is also available in an ATEX variant for use in potentially explosive areas. Built for service-friendliness, it allows quick and easy replacement of wearing parts and minimizes maintenance downtime. Certified to meet stringent standards such as EHEDG, 3-A, and FDA, the GEA Hilge HYGIA facilitates smooth integration into CIP and SIP processes, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in the beverage, dairy, food, and pharmaceutical industries.
