Intended use

The high viscosity liquid pumps are used for transferring low to high viscosity, pasty,
still free-flowing media. They can be used for applications in the food industry, pharma-
ceutical, cosmetical and chemical products as well as petro-chemicals.
Depending on the product to be transferred, different materials and drive motors are
used.
High viscosity liquid pumps can be driven by a range of different motors.
Electrical commutator or three-phase motors and compressed air motors are available
as pump drives.
In an environment subject to explosion hazard, pumps and motors are used which have
been checked and approved according to the Explosion Protection Directive 94/9/EC
ATEX 95.
For the pumping of food in the EC pumps (and accessories) are used that are conform
with the general requirements of the Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of 27 October 2004
on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food. In other countries the
national directives are to be observed. In the US pumps (and accessories) are used
that are FDA (CFR 21 Part – Food and Drugs) or 3A approved.
According to the design, the pumps may be used as mobile devices or they may be
permanently installed in plants. Manual as well as remote operation are possible.
During stationary use you must constantly watch the pump.
