Pump GU-42/60 - Pumps for food liquids

The GU-42/60 pump is a pump from the GU-30 series, designed with the current requirements for food industry applications in mind.

Pumps in this series are made entirely of acid-resistant steels, pump bodies and all parts in 1.4404 (316L) steel, internal surface roughness ≤0.8µm, washable body gasket and all components inside the body.
Thickness of materials used min. 5.0mm.

The GU-42/60 pump is designed for the transfer of non-concentrated or concentrated food liquids with a dry matter content of up to 50% or other foodstuffs with similar properties at temperatures up to 95°C.

Due to its parameters (high capacity and high outlet pressure), the pump can be used to pump media with high capacity over considerable distances. The pump can be used in installations where food safety is very important.

The pump may be used in, among other things:

• transport of liquid food products with viscosity up to 1000 cP,
• dairy (fresh and pasteurised milk, whey, ice cream mixes),
• Fruit and vegetable processing (non-clarified and clarified juices, juices with fibres, fruit drinks, vegetable drinks, wines, liqueurs),
• Distilling (distillery mash, spirits),
• Pharmaceutics,
• pumping of basic utilities in the food industry (water, cold or hot purified water,
• cleaning fluids for CIP systems,
• other liquids.

*by arrangement of material sets

The GU42/60 type pump is a centrifugal pump and together with the motor is a closed monolithic structure resting on 4 spherical feet which are adjustable to allow the pump to be levelled.

Pump impeller - open, mounted on the extended shaft of the motor driving the pump. External pump casing mounted with cap screws to the pump casing. An o-ring seal is fitted between the outer casing and the pump casing so that it can be washed out during the CIP cleaning process.

Outer casing and pump casing made of min. 5.0 mm thick, specially formed in a forming process, which contributes to the durability and reliability of the pump.

Connection ferrules with Rd male threads in accordance with DIN 11851.

Pump execution in AISI 316 stainless steel (1.4404) for parts coming into contact with the product and AISI 304 (EN 1.4301) for other parts such as the casing or the base. Shaft seals: double face mechanical seal with flushing fluid (water) or single face; seal material sets selected to suit the pumped medium.

Other seal material sets on request.

The following advantages of the pump are worth mentioning: easy operation, low energy consumption, hygiene, easy cleaning of parts, convertibility (no foundation required).

The pumps have the necessary approvals for use in the food industry. The pumps are provided with a declaration of conformity and the CE safety mark.
