OHK SBP-1B-E Pump

• Transferring viscous liquids and slurries in food production.
• Circulating brines, sauces, and purees within processing lines.
• Handling delicate food products with minimal shear.
• Filling and emptying mixing vessels or storage tanks.
• Moving ingredients between different stages of a processing operation.

Typical throughput

For this class of pump, throughput can typically range from hundreds to several thousand kilograms per hour, depending on product viscosity and motor power.

Construction material

Units designed for food processing are commonly constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Inlet/outlet size

Commonly, inlet and outlet connections for this type of industrial pump range from 50mm to 150mm, accommodating various flow requirements.

Power supply

Industrial food processing pumps typically operate on a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Pump type

Given the throughput and application, this is likely a positive displacement pump, suitable for handling viscous products.

Hygiene features

Units of this type commonly feature sanitary connections (e.g., DIN, RJT, Tri-Clamp) and designs that facilitate easy cleaning and sterilisation (CIP/SIP capable).

• What types of products can this pump handle?

  This type of pump is typically suitable for a wide range of food products, including sauces, dairy, fruit purees, batters, and other viscous liquids or slurries, provided they do not contain excessively large or abrasive solids.

• Is this pump suitable for CIP (Clean-In-Place) systems?

• What maintenance is typically required for a pump of this nature?

• Can this pump handle products with solids?

• What are the typical installation requirements?

Food processing pumps are valued for reliability and durability in continuous operations. Buyers typically prioritise corrosion resistance, hygiene compliance, and consistent flow rates. When purchasing used units, inspecting seals, impellers and motor condition proves essential. Industry sentiment favours models with straightforward maintenance requirements and availability of spare parts. Stainless steel construction and gentle handling capabilities for delicate products are consistently sought features.
