Centrifugal Pump For The Pharmaceutical Industry
Centrifugal pump by the Sujal Engineering is the most common pump used to transfer liquid in the wide range of applications which may range from food processing, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and many other industries.
The centrifugal pumps have a wide range of models depending on the industry requirement, application needs and viscosity. Sujal engineering is one of the leading manufacturers of a centrifugal pumps for industrial and domestic uses. Our SCPP – Series is the best amongst Centrifugal pumps in the market.
Engineering behind Centrifugal pump
Centrifugal pump work on the principle of Bernoulli’s Law: ‘As velocity goes down, the pressure increases’. Centrifugal pump generates pressure by accelerating and then decelerating the movement of liquid through a pump. The liquid enters through the suction nozzle of a pump. From there it goes to the eye of impeller wherein it gets trapped between the blades of the impeller. As the liquid passes from the eye, through the blades toward the outside diameter of the impeller, the liquid undergoes an immediate increase in velocity.
The liquid that leaves the outer diameter of impeller enters into the internal casing wall of volute. Here it stops to collect in ever-expanding exit chamber of volute. The velocity is now converted into the pressure available at the discharge nozzle because the impeller diameter and motor speed are constant. The centrifugal pump can be considered to be a constant pressure device.
Hygiene and care in pharmaceutical industry
Common contaminants in pharmaceutical processing industries are water and airborne particles/ infections. In pharmaceutical environments, microbial, chemical and human contamination is the major source of contamination. Pharmaceutical industry follows one of the most stringent hygiene standards as compared to food, beverage and cosmetic industries. In the production of pharmaceuticals, hygiene and process reliability are crucial.
Centrifugal pumps are ideal for this kind of work because they are designed specifically to maintain product integrity and consistency. The advantages of using centrifugal pump are:
- During restriction in liquid flow, a centrifugal pump will max out on the pressure at its dead-head pressure. This will not cause any damage to the system and it is easy to say able to work at medium to low head
- Can deal with large volumes of liquid
- Small in size, which saves a lot of space
- Low capital cost
- Easy maintenance
- No danger creates if discharge v/v is closed while starting
- Is able to work for medium to low viscous fluid
- Continuous pulsation free delivery
