The pumps of the MDC range are equipped with newly developed open aseptic fork joints that can be cleaned without leaving residues through CIP continuous cleaning. They meet highest demands on hygienic cleanliness and on corrosion and wear resistance. This is achieved through the special shape of the rotor/plug-in shaft coupling rod head. Since the open joint is made up of only 2 components – the bolt and the circlip – service work can be performed easily and rapidly without the need for special tools. The pumps of the MDC range comply with the regulations of the 3A-Sanitary Standards of the USA.
