In-Depth Product Overview

The 1600 Series GT-HYGI100-SS304 is a close-coupled hygienic centrifugal pump featuring a semi-open impeller in stainless steel SS304. Designed for sanitary applications requiring gentle product handling, non-clogging performance with light particulates/viscous fluids, and full CIP/SIP compatibility. Ideal for dairy, beverages, food processing, and pharmaceutical transfer where hygiene and reliability are critical.

Semi-open impeller design prevents clogging while maintaining smooth flow; electropolished surfaces (Ra <0.8 μm typical), quick-clamp connections, and back-pullout for easy maintenance without disturbing piping. Non-self-priming; requires flooded suction or priming assist.

Key Features & Benefits

  • ✅ Semi-open impeller – non-clogging, handles soft solids & viscous products gently
  • ✅ Hygienic SS304 construction with electropolished wetted parts
  • ✅ Close-coupled design – compact, easy installation & maintenance
  • ✅ CIP/SIP ready – full drainability & clean-in-place/sterilize-in-place
  • ✅ Food-grade seals & hygienic fittings (Tri-Clamp standard)

Applications

  • Dairy transfer (milk, yogurt, cream with minor particulates)
  • Beverage processing (juices, soft drinks, beer wort)
  • Food & viscous hygienic fluids (sauces, syrups)
  • Pharma / biotech gentle pumping
  • CIP return & circulation systems

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why semi-open impeller? A: Provides non-clogging performance for fluids with light solids/viscosity while remaining gentle and hygienic—better than closed for some sanitary apps.

Q: Is it suitable for CIP/SIP? A: Yes – smooth surfaces, drainable, and designed for automated cleaning/sterilization cycles up to typical limits (consult seals for exact temps).
