Double-diaphragm pump Flotronic® GOOD FOOD

for food productsfor dairy productsbeer

Double diaphragm pump ideal for pumping your food products, especially in high viscosity and low shear applications. Designed for quick disassembly that requires no tools or can be cleaned in place (CIP), manufactured entirely from FDA-compliant approved materials. The 'Good Food' pump offers very specific advantages to food industry customers. - The only 'One-Nut' design that facilitates cleaning 'between batches' - Clean-in-place (CIP) connection as standard - Internal jacket option, allowing product temperature to be maintained as it passes through the pump - Self-priming capability (3.6 m dry and 8 m wet) - All 'Good Food' pumps come with hygienic connections to suit specific customer requirements - Low shear rate: allows handling of large or delicate solids - The internal clearances of the pump allow solids up to 25 mm to pass through the pump - Dry running capability, allowing the pump to be left running to completely empty the supply vessel - Diaphragm pump capable of handling very high viscosity products up to 300,000 centipoise (cP) and more - Tool-free maintenance allowing 15-minute disassembly and reassembly by hand using the integral T-bar - Polished option available - FDA-compliant materials - (EC) 1935/2004 (EC) 2023/2006 certification One of the most important features of the 'Good Food' pump is that the food product passes directly through the center of the pump between the two diaphragms. The diaphragms form the main sealing areas along with standard O-ring seals in the manifolds to complete the simple sealing system. Special attention has also been paid to the pump body and manifolds to improve pump flow and CIP features. The manifolds, for example, are deliberately enlarged to allow large solids to pass easily. This feature, along with the pump's low shear, means that traditionally difficult products are easily transferred. Splitter seals are a good example of a design that allows easy cleaning, as they can be easily removed by hand for washing and replaced in less than 30 seconds. All external surfaces are polypropylene or stainless steel, for easy cleaning. Ideal for applications such as dairy, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetics/personal care products. - Tool-free maintenance 'Good Food' style pump: The 'Good Food' pump combines many of the existing features of the 'One Nut' design with new developments. For example, the air valve does not require lubrication and is constructed of polypropylene with stainless steel internal parts. - This food-grade air-operated double diaphragm pump also extends the 'One Nut' concept to a 'tool-free' arrangement using a removable T-bar. The inlet and outlet manifolds can be removed by simply loosening the two supplied stainless steel handles. This means the Good Food double diaphragm pump can be disassembled and cleaned in place, without introducing tools into your food production areas.
