KSB Etachrom-BC65-200 Centrifugal pump

• Transfer of various liquid food products, including water, beverages, and dairy.
• Circulation within Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems for hygiene maintenance.
• Integration into filtration and pasteurisation lines for product movement.
• Handling of low-viscosity ingredients in mixing and blending processes.

Typical capacity

For this class of centrifugal pump, capacities commonly range from 50 to 200 m³/hr, depending on impeller size and motor speed.

Power supply

This unit is specified as 30kW, 3-phase, which typically requires a 400V, 50Hz supply in the UK.

Construction material

As a 'Stainless centrifugal pump', the wetted parts are typically 304 or 316 stainless steel, suitable for food contact.

Mounting

Mounted on a skid, indicating it is a self-contained, portable, or easily integrated unit.

Motor type

The 30kW rating suggests a robust industrial motor, often an IE3 efficiency class for modern units.

Inlet/Outlet connections

Commonly feature flanged or hygienic clamp connections, with sizes typically matching the pump's flow rate.
