Centrifugal Pumps & Spare Parts
Simple, versatile, and efficient
Reliably transfer fluids throughout your sanitary process system with premium centrifugal pumps from Ferguson Industrial. Because of their straightforward design, versatility, and efficiency, sanitary centrifugal pumps are popular solutions in the Food & Beverage industry. Not to mention, they are suitable for various fluids with low viscosities and often attain a high flow rate at relatively low pressures.
Here are a few key characteristics of sanitary centrifugal pumps.
- They handle a broad spectrum of liquids such as water, milk, beer, cough syrup, and cleaning solutions.
- For reference, 32°F (0°C) to 212°F (100°C) is a safe temperature range for products moving through a centrifugal pump.
- Centrifugal pumps are suitable for pumping liquids with low to medium viscosity.
- Unlike positive displacement pumps which use rotating gears to transfer product at lower flow rates, centrifugal pumps use rotational energy to move fluid. Fluid enters the pump inlet and the rotating impeller moves the fluid. The centrifugal force created by the motor and impeller sends the fluid out from the impeller’s eye, increasing the fluid’s velocity as it is directed toward the pump outlet.
- There is no suction lift with centrifugal pumps, meaning the pump must be primed, or the product must be supplied to the pump for it to work. This can be achieved by positioning the pump under the tank to allow gravity to feed fluid into the pump.
- Compatible with our comprehensive selection of sanitary pump carts for a cost-effective and efficient solution for moving pumps throughout your plant.
