Wilo ILE50-170 Glanded centrifugal pump

• Transfer of various liquids within food processing lines, including water, brines, and some viscous products.
• Circulation duties in heating or cooling systems for process control.
• Boosting pressure in water supply or distribution networks within a facility.
• Integration into cleaning-in-place (CIP) systems for efficient sanitation.

Typical flow rates

For this class of glanded centrifugal pump, flow rates commonly range from 10 to 100 m³/h, depending on the specific impeller and motor configuration.

Typical head

Units of this type typically offer heads between 10 and 50 metres, suitable for various transfer and circulation tasks.

Power supply

The integrated frequency converter suggests a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, for industrial applications in the UK.

Motor power

As specified, this unit features an 8.6 kW motor, which is a common power rating for medium-duty industrial pumps.

Material construction

Pump casings and impellers for food processing applications are typically made from cast iron or stainless steel, with stainless steel being preferred for direct food contact.

Control features

The built-in frequency converter allows for electronic control, providing constant or variable pressure operation, which enhances process flexibility and energy efficiency.

• What are the benefits of a glanded centrifugal pump?

  Glanded pumps are generally robust and suitable for continuous operation. They are often more cost-effective for certain applications compared to glandless designs, particularly for non-critical fluids.
