Flotronic develops sanitary pumps

"While 3-A is not a statutory requirement, it is a standard increasingly required by the sanitary industry, particularly in the United States," says Flotronic’s MD, Jane Waite. "Being authorized to display the 3-A symbol ensures credibility of the new H series, at home and abroad."

The pumps can be easily maintained and cleaning is made easier by a support stand which allows full rotation for draining. Wetted surfaces are polished to 0.8 μm Ra maximum and an electro-polished overall finish ensure effective cleanability. There is also a diaphragm rupture detection system which incorporates an instant pump shut-down alarm facility in the event of a diaphragm failure.
