KSB at Anuga FoodTec 2018

KSB SE & Co. KGaA stand is the LSA (Life Sciences Applications) hygiene workstation for hygienic food pumps. It is equipped with stainless steel surfaces, work benches and tools and clothing for use in this workstation only. Alll lubricants supplied are FDA-approved. The workstation will be demonstrated by a service engineer performing maintenance work on a hygienic pump live at regular intervals.

Hygienic pump

Also on display on the stand will be the hygienic pump type series Vitachrom Vitacast, Vitalobe and Vitaprime. The pumps’ cleaning and steaming in place (CIP/SIP) capabilities are promoted by electropolished wetted components and the use of high-grade stainless steels.

These pumps have been designed for liquid or viscous food transport. All pumps belonging to the Vita series have been awarded the certificates common to the industry and their elastomer components conform to FDA standards.

Drive solution

MyFlow Drive is the new smart drive solution for fixed speed pumps. The drive is fully compatible with Industry 4.0 and the fixed speed levels at the motor can be set to individual requirements allowing the flow rate of the pumps to be increased or decreased.

The IE5 synchronous reluctance motor can be operated on almost any existing power grid since its supply voltage is modulated by the motor-mounted minimum frequency inverter. Global engineering contractors no longer need to consider the local mains voltage when selecting pumps.

SISTO-C diaphragm valves will be showcased alongside HERA BD gate valves and ISORIA butterfly valves. The valves’ bodies have no dead volume and can be cleaned without leaving any residues. The use of multi-port valves enables complex systems without any dead end pipe runs (dead legs).

In Cologne KSB will be presenting its newly developed concept of a maintenance workstation equipped exclusively for hygienic food pumps. (© KSB SE & Co. KGaA, Frankenthal)
