ipp Aqueous centrifugal pump

The individual customer solution

The coherent concept of the hygienic centrifugal pump Aqueous offers robust and durable operation in all applications. The complete machining of all parts from rolled material - including the impeller - is the basis for maximum stability, flexibility and high, consistent quality.

The modular design of the pump and mechanical seal ensures non-stop availability and a wide range of equipment options for customisation to meet the most difficult requirements. The use of stainless steel 1.4404 and FDA-compliant seals in areas in contact with the product are standard for us.

Surfaces and materials
  • Standard 1.4404 (equivalent to AISI 316L) for metallic materials in contact with the product.
  • 1.4435, 1.4539 and 1.4462 optionally (lowest delta-ferrit contents).
  • Raw material always made from high-quality rolled steel.
  • Cast materials are not used due to the risk of porosity.
  • Special "cold" welding procedures are standard.
  • Electropolishing and any surface roughness up to Ra<0.4 μm possible.

Technical concept

The components of the Aqueous centrifugal pump are machined from rolled material. This has decisive advantages over conventional pump systems. The standard surface quality of Ra≈0.8µm ensures easy cleaning and therefore reliable processes. This surface quality has a positive influence on efficiency. The dimensional accuracy ensures consistent quality in terms of the reproducibility of the hydraulic operating points and in relation to the rotational dynamics. Imbalances are minimised by design.

At the same time, there are no dependencies with regard to cast or sheet metal semi-finished products, which results in maximum flexibility in terms of material selection and geometric requirements in order to meet the needs in the field.

In the system, the hygienic centrifugal pump has a minimal footprint as a short block pump. For easy maintenance, the housing can remain connected to the pipework so that only the back pull-out unit (BPU) is retracted. All relevant parts are then accessible from the front.

Flexibility through modularity

The design of the pump takes into account the diverse requirements and, thanks to its modular construction, offers optional

  • Large heat exchangers for cooling or heating in the immediate vicinity of the mechanical seal
  • A variety of connections and their individual positions
  • Drainage connection for complete residual draining
  • Free-flow version for media with a high solids content

Hygiene is its strength

Free of residues through self cleaning (CIP / SIP)

The pump can be cleaned without leaving any residue thanks to its hygienic design and O-rings pressed in without dead space (FDA standard; USP Class VI and other requirements possible).
A key feature here is that the mechanical seal is located in the pressure equalisation flow on the back of the impeller, which is a prerequisite for maximum hygiene and optimum temperature behaviour.

Shaft seals

Nonstop-availability due to "Front-Pull-Out"-system.

The modular design of the Aqueous series is particularly useful when it comes to seals. All the different standard sealing options are accessible from the front as a "front-pull-out principle" and can be interchanged at any time.

The choice between a single- or double-acting mechanical seal depends on many product and system-related criteria. Tungsten carbide is the first choice of mechanical seal ring material, with silicon carbide mechanical seal rings available as an option.

The secondary seals and elastomers in contact with the product can be made of NBR-FDA, Viton-FDA, EPDM-FDA or FFKM-FDA.

Applications

Pharmacy

Process pumps for pharmaceutical and preliminary products must fulfil special requirements. GMP-compliant design is absolutely essential. ipp pumps are perfect for the gentle pumping of raw materials, WFI, vaccines, homeopathic products and plant extracts. All certificates and complete traceability of the materials in contact with the product are standard.

Characteristic diagram

Data refer to the pumped medium water at 20°C. In practice, the realisable values may be lower or higher, depending on the type of pumped product or the design of the system in which the pump is integrated. A precise and detailed analysis of the operating conditions is required for a conscientious design.

CIP/SIP Cleaning -
a challenge for the rotary lobe pump.

CIP/SIP procedure - a challenge! Geometric aspect: Free of residues. With an EHEDG test, document no. 2, it has been proven that the ipp rotary lobe pumps are suitable for the CIP procedure without residues. During the steaming procedure (SIP) the pump doesn't need to turn, however this is necessary for the possible discharge of the condensate. „Self-Draining-Features“ (SDF) support this process. The EHEDG-certificate also includes document no. 8 which is valid for general construction and design details.

There are the following CIP procedures:

CIP-cleaning of the pump

  • Passive: The pump is arranged in a by-pass and cleaned by means of a volume flow which is created by a CIP system (centrifugal pump). The necessary pressure difference is created through the "pre-pressure" at the pump inlet.
  • Active: The rotary lobe pump is arranged in the tube, possibly also in a by-pass and works against a differential pressure of 1.....3 bar in order to reach a self cleaning effect.
