This article will detail the key advantages of centrifugal pump technology, the outstanding features of HOMMAK pumps, and the added value they provide to businesses.
What is a Centrifugal Pump?
Centrifugal pumps are devices that move liquids using a rotor (impeller) based on the principle of centrifugal force. By transferring liquid from a low-pressure point to a high-pressure point, they play a critical role in the food, beverage, dairy, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.
Their basic functions include:
- Safe and uninterrupted transfer of liquids
- Adaptability to liquids of different viscosities
- Energy efficiency and low operating costs
- Maintaining hygienic and clean production lines
HOMMAK’s centrifugal pumps meet these criteria to a high standard, standing out especially in the food and dairy sectors.
Key Advantages of HOMMAK Centrifugal Pumps
1. Hygienic and Robust Design
HOMMAK centrifugal pumps are designed to meet the hygiene requirements of the food and dairy industries:
- Surfaces in contact with the liquid are made of AISI 316L stainless steel, the housing is AISI 304L
- Surface roughness Ra ≤ 0.8 µm, ensuring high hygiene
- Fully compatible with CIP/SIP cleaning systems
- Easy maintenance with mechanical seal and wear sleeve
This design guarantees both a high hygiene standard in the production line and a long service life.
2. Powerful Performance and Stable Flow
Centrifugal pumps prevent cavitation and transfer liquids safely thanks to their low NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) value. HOMMAK pumps are designed to adapt to liquids of different densities and operate efficiently in various applications such as:
- Milk, whey, cream and beverages
- Fruit juice and creamy liquids
- Cosmetic lotions and emulsions
and more.
3. Easy Maintenance and Operation
HOMMAK centrifugal pumps offer ease of maintenance and repair thanks to their front-removable seal and impeller design. This results in:
- Shorter maintenance time
- Lower operating costs
- Minimized production line downtime
- Furthermore, low energy consumption is ensured through the highly energy-efficient motor design.
4. Versatile Use and Flexibility
HOMMAK centrifugal pumps are not limited to the dairy and food industries. The systems can also be easily used in sensitive production areas such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, chemicals, and biotechnology. This versatility provides businesses with flexible production capabilities and the ability to work with a variety of liquids.
The Benefits of Using Centrifugal Pumps for Businesses
HOMMAK centrifugal pumps provide businesses with the following advantages:
- Uninterrupted and safe liquid transfer
- Maintaining standard product quality
- Reduced maintenance and energy costs
- Hygienic and sustainable production infrastructure
- Flexibility and versatile use in the production line
These advantages are critical, especially for facilities with high-volume production.
