BTCS - HOPPER PUMP IN HYGIENIC DESIGN

FOOD AND HYGIENIC PUMP WITH HOPPER

The design of the BTCS food and hygienic pump from SEEPEX is characterized by a rectangular hopper with a compression zone and feed screw conveyor. This makes it particularly suited for pumping highly viscous, minimally flowable products – both with and without solids. In the hygienic design, the pump is fitted with open joints. However, it is optionally available with closed pin joints.

Conveying Capacity: 0.03–130 m³/h; 0.132–572 US gpm

Pressure: ≤ 24 bar; ≤ 350 psi

Features and Benefits

Variable

Available with a choice of open hygienic joints or closed pin joints, suitable to your individual application

Fulfills strict hygienic standards

Certified under the 3-A Sanitary Standards (variant with open joints) and designed in compliance with the EHEDG guidelines, and fitted with FDA-approved and EU 1935-2004 compliant components

Residue-free cleaning

Special housing geometry and open, hygienic pin joints facilitate optimal cleaning and sterilization: CIP, SIP, COP

Wear resistant

Hermetically sealed elastomer sleeves are particularly suited for abrasive pumping media

Optimal conveyance

Optimal filling of conveying chambers through feed screw and conically closing compression zone

Low pulsation

Minimal pulsation and low shear characteristics allow the gentle conveyance of sensitive media

Technologies, accessories and options

Pressure branch

In stainless steel, 1/2" connections to DIN EN ISO 228-1 or NPT.
Rotor

Wear resistant and corrosion-resistant materials. Optionally with hard surface treatment.
Conventional geometry

With short pitches and a compact design, the conventional geometry produces high pressures.
6L geometry

With a small rotor diameter and a long pitch, the 6L geometry attains lower surface velocities and extends the service life due to its large sealing line.
Base plate

Tailor-made selection of base plates. The base plates can be easily combined with different drives from all major manufacturers.
Stator

In food-grade materials according to FDA, and in compliance with EHEDG directives. Follows pharma regulations according to several USP classes.
Conventional geometry

With short pitches and a compact design, the conventional geometry produces high pressures.
6L geometry

With a small rotor diameter and a long pitch, the 6L geometry attains lower surface velocities and extends the service life due to its large sealing line.
Tricam geometry

The rotor with Tricam geometry features a three-helix geometry. This enables it to achieve larger conveying capacities with the same overall length of the pump.
Coupling rod

Made of stainless steel for power transmission. Available with propellers or feed screw.
Open hopper

Rectangular feed hopper with conveying screw for pumping higly visous products.
Open pin joint

Hygienic joint, designed for higher pressures and flow rates providing optimal cleanliness.
Lantern

A corrosion resistant design, optionally made of stainless steel, connects the pump and drive and secures the assembly to the base plate or skid.
Plug-In shaft

Designed for easy CIP, made of stainless steel and designed to mount the mechanical seal in food grade material.
Plug-in shaft connection

For easy dismantling of the pump and drive enabling quick replacement of the rotating parts and shaft seals. The plug-in shaft pin secures the shaft connection to the drive and the splash ring protects the bearing from contamination/gland leakage.
Drive

Geared motors, variable speed drives or frequency controlled motors of all major manufacturers, directly flanged to the pump without additional couplings or guards. Covers made of stainless steel are available.
Overpressure Protection

The pressure gauge switches off the pump as soon as a pre-set pressure is exceeded or not reached and protects the pump from increased wear and tear or piping damage.
Single-acting mechanical seal

Universal standard mechanical seal for dosing, food applications and semi-submersible pumps for sealing the plug-in shaft in the suction casing or the hopper.
