Almatec Releases New MM Series AODD Pumps

Typical applications include the transfer and filling of beverages, sauces and toppings, dosing of food and beverage ingredients; processing of meat, pastry dough, smoothies, fruit pulp and candies; and the transfer and filling of cosmetics.

Almatec MM Series pumps are ideal for food and beverage applications because they feature food-grade wetted materials and a construction that enables clean-in-place (CIP) and sanitize-in-place (SIP) capabilities. The design of MM Series pumps also incorporates soft redirections without rotating parts and shaft seals in the product chamber, a critical consideration for hygienic operations. Additional features and benefits that make these pumps an ideal solution for food and beverage applications include a pumping principle that offers gentle displacement, stainless steel housing, wetted surfaces with a surface roughness of max. 3.2 µm (0.8 µm as option), good suction life, easy disassembly of the fluid path, and self-priming and dry run capabilities. All the pump’s materials comply with the hygienic standards of the FDA, and pumps equipped with PTFE diaphragms and ball valves also comply with EC1935/2004. In addition, MM Series pumps conform to ATEX requirements according to the 2014/34/EU directive.

MM Series pumps are available in three pump sizes – MM 15, MM 25 and MM 40 – and achieve maximum capacities from 3.5 to 20 m3/h. The maximum discharge pressure of MM Series pumps is 7 bar (100 psig) with a short-term temperature range up to 130 °C (266 °F) for cleaning processes. PTFE and EPDM diaphragms, ball valves and wear parts are compatible with other Almatec pumps. Stroke counting and diaphragm monitoring are available as accessories.
