Description
The Serie CL centrifugal pump is engineered to provide consistent and efficient fluid movement in demanding industrial environments. Known for its simplicity and reliability, this series is the go-to choice for transferring liquids such as water, juices, milk, and chemical solutions. Its hydraulic design is optimized to minimize turbulence and maximize energy efficiency, ensuring a smooth flow even during continuous operation.
Technically, the Serie CL is constructed from high-quality stainless steel with a focus on hygiene and ease of maintenance. The open impeller design allows for the handling of liquids with small particles or air bubbles without the risk of clogging. Additionally, the pump is designed with a low NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) requirement, which prevents cavitation and extends the life of the mechanical seals and bearings.
Maintenance is simplified thanks to its modular construction, allowing for quick access to the internal components without disconnecting the pump from the piping. This makes the Serie CL an ideal component for automated production lines where uptime is critical for operational success.
Key Features of the Serie CL
- Sanitary Design: Polished stainless steel surfaces for food-grade applications.
- High Efficiency: Optimized impeller and casing for reduced energy consumption.
- Low NPSH: Excellent suction capability to prevent cavitation.
- Versatile Mounting: Available in various motor configurations and baseplates.
- Easy Maintenance: Quick-release components for rapid seal replacement.
Technical Specifications for Serie CL
- Materials: AISI 316L Stainless Steel (Standard).
- Flow Rate: Range from 5 to 150 m³/h depending on model size.
- Max Head: Up to 70 meters of water column.
- Temperature Range: -10°C to +140°C.

Uses and Applications of the Serie CL
- Dairy Industry: Transfer of raw milk, cream, and whey.
- Beverage Plants: Moving water, syrups, juices, and soft drinks.
- Water Treatment: Pumping treated water and mild chemical solutions.
- Pharmaceuticals: Handling of purified water and saline solutions.
- Cleaning Systems: Main pump for CIP (Clean-in-Place) return and supply.
Usage and Maintenance Recommendations for Serie CL
- Always prime the pump before starting to avoid dry-running the mechanical seal.
- Verify motor rotation matches the arrow on the pump casing.
- Inspect mechanical seals periodically for signs of leakage or wear.
- Ensure the suction line is airtight to prevent air entrainment and loss of prime.
Frequently Asked Questions about Serie CL
Can the Serie CL handle thick liquids?
It is optimized for low-viscosity fluids (up to 500 cP). For highly viscous products like honey or thick pastes, a positive displacement pump is recommended.
Is it suitable for CIP cleaning?
Yes, the Serie CL is fully compatible with standard CIP chemicals and high temperatures, making it easy to sterilize within the production line.
What is the benefit of the open impeller?
The open impeller prevents solids from getting trapped and is much easier to clean to sanitary standards compared to closed designs.
