This design of the BIOCOR line of pumps has earned them certification from the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG), as well as conformity with ATEX’s 94/9/EG directive. BIOCOR pumps earn this distinction by being constructed with a material combination of PTFE or EPDM (diaphragms, ball valves and O-rings). This design enables the BIOCOR pumps to be cleaned and sterilized in place. BIOCOR pumps equipped with PTFE configuration and a diaphragm-monitoring sensor are 3-A approved.

In meeting the demand for sterility in pharmaceutical applications, the liquid housings of BIOCOR pumps have no horizontal areas where the material being pumped can collect. Additionally, each pump comes with 4 magnets that can be used to easily move the stainless steel ball valves off their seats, which allow the pump to drain entirely without the need for disassembly.

BIOCOR pumps are available in two models, B20 and B32, that achieve maximum capacities of 15.4 to 33 gpm (58.3 to 125 lpm) at a maximum discharge pressure of 7 bar. The material for the wetted housing parts is electro-polished 316L stainless steel. The center block is constructed of conductive polyethylene.

We naturally adjust our expectations within the constraints of what is practical. When we lived in an analog world, we didn’t expect or even easily imagine what would become possible in the digital era. But as technology evolves, we expand our expectations, raise our standards, and eventually become dependent on new levels of performance. That’s what’s happening with grit removal efficiency for wastewater treatment plants and sand removal in potable water plants.
