Self-priming centrifugal pump for entrained air handling
Handling fluids with entrained air or foam in industries such as food processing, dairy, and pharmaceuticals presents challenges. Efficiently managing these fluids requires technology that reduces power consumption, minimizes noise, and ensures compliance with hygiene standards.
Manage entrained air and minimize noise levels
The Ws+ Series self-priming centrifugal pump by SPX Flow is designed to handle Clean In Place (CIP) return and other fluids with entrained air and foam. The pump combines the efficiency of the W+ centrifugal series with the capability of liquid ring pumps, featuring a high-efficiency impeller and a unique eccentric air screw for self-priming capabilities. Approved by the EHEDG and optionally by the 3-A standard, this pump is suitable for hygienic applications. The pump operates at a maximum pressure of 138 psi (9.5 bar) and a flow capacity of 484 GPM (110 m³/hour) with a 60 Hz motor. The design allows for lower power consumption, less noise, and reduced damage risk when small objects pass through the pump.
Benefits
- Handles entrained air and foam efficiently
- Reduces power consumption with high-efficiency impeller
- Minimal noise due to advanced hydraulic design
