Following the API standard relating to the use of sealless pumps in the petrochemical, oil and gas industries, Hermetic Pumps launches the CNP API 685 series as part of their canned motor pump range
Supplied by AxFlow with the Pro-Flo V air distribution system, the Wilden PV4 is recommended for a wide range of food processing and pharmaceutical applications including dairy, vegetable and meat products.
All wetted components are manufactured from passivated 316 stainless steel and polished to Ra0.8microns.
Having a maximum flow rate of 352L/m and a maximum operating pressure of 8.6bar, the PV4 can pass solids that are up to 6.4mm in size and accommodate temperatures up to 88C.
