Pump for Fibrous Slurries

Our PSSP Pumps for Fibrous Slurries are constructed from Stainless Steel AISI 316L and have been specifically designed for Starch Production processes. The PSSP Pump is versatile and robust Centrifugal Pump capable of handling fibrous slurries with a solids content of 30%, and viscosities up to 200 cSt. The PSSP is also self-priming, making it ideal for applications where the slurry level is not always consistent.

Typical applications for our Fibrous Slurry Pumps:

  • Starch Production Processes
Overview

The close-coupled screw, which can be attached to the eye of the impeller, ensures a constant flow to the impeller whilst the entrained gases are evacuated through the inner channel of the screw.

These hygienic designed stainless steel defoaming pumps are known for their optimal hydraulic performance and defoaming power. Another notable feature is the unique modular construction. Depending on application requirements, the pump can be fitted with the following options:

  • Single or Double Mechanical Seal with Fat Lubrication
  • Single or Double Mechanical Seal with Quench
  • Vacuum & Pressure Gauges
  • Drain Connection
