Companies in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry see themselves confronted by the following challenges
- Safety, health and environmental protection (e.g. ATEX, "TA Luft")
- High requirements for hygiene and sterility with CIP-capable systems
- Hygienic and gentle processing of end products
- High and reproducible quality of end products and processes
- Economical and sustainable concepts
We support your company with innovative and application-specific products for use in both smaller apparatus and in large, process-related devices and plants.
Liquid ring vacuum pumps for general chemical processes
- Distilling and separation of liquids
- Recovery of condensates, e.g. solvents
- Drying of bulk solids, e.g. washing powder, fertiliser, salts, plastic granulates etc.
- Extraction of liquids, e.g. palm oil
Application examples for our liquid pumps
- Tempering in chemical processes → Temperature control and → Heating and cooling technology
- Delivering aggressive, highly flammable and toxic media
- Systems with pressures up to 100 bar
Process-related requirements
- Use of media-resistant materials and seals, such as single- and double-acting mechanical seals and magnetic couplings
- Designs which are resistant to spray water for wet areas
- Use of materials which are resistant to aggressive and critical media
- Delivery chambers free of gaps and dead space for comprehensive cleaning
- B-carbon bearings and/or mechanical seals which are food-safe/not harmful to health
- Modern, energy-efficient drive systems
- Conformity to Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control ("TA Luft") upon request
- Products with ATEX certification and EC type examination certificate
