The official page lists liquid and viscous food examples and model-specific displacement, speed and pressure tables. Identify the exact U3 model and inlet/outlet arrangement. An aseptic configuration is an option rather than the assumed baseline.
Use the selected model row, not the family maximum
The official table lists 006-U3 at a nominal capacity up to 8 GPM (1.8 m³/h), a maximum speed of 1000 rpm and a pressure range up to 300 psi (20.7 bar). In contrast, 015-U3 is listed up to 11 GPM (2.5 m³/h), 800 rpm and 250 psi (17.2 bar). These are separate catalogue model limits, checked on 7 October 2026, not simultaneous accepted duty points for a particular food.
The source distinguishes standard rotor clearance from optional low-viscosity clearance, and single mechanical seals from double mechanical seals using flushing fluid. Identify the offered rotor, seal materials and flush arrangement before comparing a pump curve or cleaning proposal. No stock, delivery or supplying-entity commitment is inferred from the brand page.
Questions to settle before a quotation
- What viscosity range, actual temperature and inclusions will be represented in the trial?
- What delivered flow at the required pressure supports the selected model and speed?
- How are inlet supply, discharge protection, seals and cleaning interfaces assigned?
Ask bidders to state trial material, accepted output, losses, utilities, changeover time and scope exclusions in writing. Compare the offered configuration using the same recipe and acceptance criteria.
Equipment trial & quotation guideSupply boundaries
Displacement per revolution and nominal capacity are not accepted flow for every food. Model pressure limits differ. A quick-ship programme is not confirmed regional availability or a project delivery promise.

Common questions
Are price or availability confirmed?
Request a dated offer identifying the model, materials, options, supplying entity and service.
Does a hygienic component validate the whole food line?
Define the installed equipment, routing, cleaning and acceptance responsibilities separately. A component record is not a food-process validation.
