Lowara NSCE50160 Centrifugal pump

• Transferring water or low-viscosity liquids in food production lines.
• Circulating cleaning-in-place (CIP) solutions within processing systems.
• Handling ingredients such as brines, sauces, or dairy products.
• Boosting water pressure for various industrial processes.
• Dewatering applications in food processing environments.

Typical capacity

For this class of centrifugal pump, capacities commonly range from 10 to 100 cubic metres per hour, depending on the specific impeller and motor configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, suitable for industrial environments in the UK.

Materials of construction

The wetted parts are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., AISI 316) to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance, essential for food processing applications.

Motor power

Centrifugal pumps in this range commonly feature motors from 5.5 kW to 22 kW, influencing the pump's head and flow rate capabilities.

Connections

Flanged connections are standard for industrial centrifugal pumps, with sizes typically ranging from DN50 to DN150, allowing for integration into existing pipework.

Seal type

Mechanical seals are commonly used, often with options for single or double seals depending on the liquid being pumped and operational requirements.

• What kind of liquids can this pump handle?

  This type of centrifugal pump is primarily designed for clean or slightly contaminated liquids with low viscosity. It is not typically suited for highly viscous fluids or those containing large solids.

• Is this pump suitable for continuous operation?

• What maintenance is typically required for a centrifugal pump?

• Can this pump handle hot liquids?

• What are the common causes of failure for these pumps?

Centrifugal pumps are widely regarded as reliable workhorses in laboratory and pharmaceutical applications. Buyers typically value their smooth operation, low maintenance requirements, and consistent performance across diverse fluid handling tasks. When purchasing used models, buyers commonly prioritize checking seal condition, impeller integrity, and motor functionality. Industry sentiment favours units from established manufacturers with documented service histories. Key strengths include durability, cost-effectiveness compared to new equipment, and suitability for both routine and demanding applications.
