Product Details

Application
The SX range of rotary lobe pumps has been designed for use on wide ranging applications within the Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology, Fine Chemical and Speciality Food industries.  Being certified by EHEDG (European Hygienic Equipment Design Group) as fully CIP cleanable to their protocol, the SX range is ideally suited to applications where cleanability and corrosion resistance is paramount. In addition to being EHEDG compliant, the SX pump range also conforms to USA 3A Sanitary Standard and all media contacting components are FDA compliant. The SX pump operates with a high efficiency, low shear pumping action for assured gentle handling of delicate and sensitive media.  The SX range is compact in size, capable of flow rates up to 506 gpm and pressures up to 218 psi.

Standard Design
Pump Gearbox

The SX pump with its conventional lobe pump design concept has a robust cast iron gearbox, which provides maximum shaft rigidity and easy oil seal replacement. The SX range in series 1 - 4 has a universal gearbox design.  This gives the flexibility of mounting pumps with the inlet and outlet ports in either a vertical or horizontal plane, by changing the foot position. If EHEDG design and installation compliance and conformity to the Machinery Safety Directive 89/392/EEC (1989) is required, a dedicated vertical port option will be supplied. A quality epoxy paint system is used on the gearbox exterior for optimum protection against natural and corrosive elements.

Pumphead Construction

The SX pump has sanitary design full bore inlet and outlet ports to International Standards, maximizing inlet and outlet port efficiency and NPSH characteristics. Vertical porting and unique rotorcase internal profile enhances self-draining and self-venting while maintaining optimum volumetric efficiency.
