FOOD AND HYGIENIC PUMP WITH JOINT-FREE, FLEXIBLE TITANIUM SHAFT
The BCF food and hygienic pump from SEEPEX, with its joint-free, flexible titanium shaft (Flexrod) is certified under 3-A Sanitary Standards. Tangentially positioned flush connections allow residue-free cleaning in CIP and SIP processes. Optimal cleaning and sterilization can also be achieved when disassembled (COP). Thanks to minimal pulsation and shear characteristics, it is particularly suitable for conveying of sensitive food.
Certified under 3-A Sanitary Standards; the Flexrod additionally fulfills the highly demanding EHEDG requirements and utilizes FDA-approved components
Low pulsation
Minimal pulsation and low shear characteristics allow the transport of sensitive products – even containing whole pieces
Residue free cleaning
Thanks to special housing geometry, joint-free Flexrod and tangentially positioned flush connections: CIP, SIP, COP
Service-friendly
Low space requirements and no special tools required for maintenance – simply release the Flexrod from the rotor and drive shaft
Process-optimized
Low cleaning costs and reduced production facility downtime due to quick and simple maintenance
Technologies, Accessories and Options
Technology
Accessories
Pressure branch
Made of stainless steel, polished inside, glass bead blown outside. Allows effective draining. Connection as standard to DIN, Tri Clamp® or any other known fittings
Rotor
Wear resistant and corrosion-resistant materials. Optionally with hard surface treatment.
Conventional geometry
With short pitches and a compact design, the conventional geometry produces high pressures.
6L geometry
With a small rotor diameter and a long pitch, the 6L geometry attains lower surface velocities and extends the service life due to its large sealing line.
Stator
In food-grade materials according to FDA, and in compliance with EHEDG directives. Follows pharma regulations according to several USP classes.
Conventional geometry
With short pitches and a compact design, the conventional geometry produces high pressures.
6L geometry
With a small rotor diameter and a long pitch, the 6L geometry attains lower surface velocities and extends the service life due to its large sealing line.
Equal Wall Stator
The stator with uniform wall thickness is used in situations with very high pressures or temperatures.
Base plate
Made of stainless steel, glass bead blown. For the support and attachment of the pump.
Suction casing
Made of stainless steel and internally polished with an external satin finish. The optimized pump casing with suction connection above the mechanical seal enables both product flow and CIP solutions to flow through the entire casing. The tangential CIP-connection allows effective draining. Optional: double jackets for heating.
Flexrod
Flexible titanium shaft without joints. Hygienic cleaning through CIP and SIP possible. Simple dasassembly of rotor and drive shaft.
Suction pipe
Available in DIN, Tri Clamp® or any other known sanitary fitting.
Mechanical seal
Flushed by the product and located inside the suction area for optimal cleaning.
Lantern
A corrosion resistant design, optionally made of stainless steel, connects the pump and drive and secures the assembly to the base plate or skid.
Drive
Geared motors, variable speed drives or frequency controlled motors of all major manufacturers, directly flanged to the pump without additional couplings or guards. Covers made of stainless steel are available.
Overpressure Protection
The pressure gauge switches off the pump as soon as a pre-set pressure is exceeded or not reached and protects the pump from increased wear and tear or piping damage.
