Heavy Duty AODD Pump Handles 9 MM Solids at Up to 17 M3/Hr Flow Rates
Almatec has expanded its line of BIOCOR Series aseptic air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps with the addition of the B40 model. Like all BIOCOR pumps, the B40 is ideal for use in sanitary product-handling applications found in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.
The B40 is the third member of Almatec’s BIOCOR family, joining the B20 and B32 models. It is the largest and heaviest BIOCOR pump at 67 kg. and dimensions of 462 x 270 x 681 mm. This added weight and size gives it the capability to handle solids as large as 9 mm and deliver flow rates up to 17 m3 per hour, all at operating pressures of 7 bar and maximum operating temperatures as high as 80˚C.
The BIOCOR B40 model features no drives, no rotating parts, no shaft seals within the fluid and a stepless flow control that operates via air pressure and volume without the need for complex mechanical control units, which prevents overpressure while ensuring outstanding output and efficiency. The material for the wetted housing parts is electro-polished 316L stainless steel with a centre block of PE conductive, while the diaphragms, ball valves and O-rings are made of PTFE or EPDM.
Almatec B40 pumps are compatible with the certifications for hygienic design and cleanability from the EHEDG, FDA and Class VI regulating organisations as well as the ATEX 94/9/EG directive for pump use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
