Alfa Laval LKH Prime UltraPure is a quiet-running, high-purity pump that meets the needs of the pharmaceutical industry for liquids containing air/gas such as CIP fluids. Certified to EHEDG and authorized to carry the 3-A symbol, this versatile pump’s air-screw technology is suitable for CIP (cleaning-in-place), SIP (sterilization-in-place) and manual cleaning.
Low noise level and high pumping efficiency ideal for tank emptying and CIP return applications
- Very low risk of process contamination – hygienic design, FDA-conforming materials and pre-defined compression USP class VI elastomers
- Energy and cleaning efficient – precise hydraulic design cuts energy costs and CO2/waste chemical emissions to boost yields and sustainability
- Maximized uptime and reduced maintenance costs – robust mechanical design and ease of maintenance with modular front-loading seals
- Reduced capital investment – designed for CIP duties containing entrained air but can also pump product reducing need for additional pump
- Quiet operation compared with other technologies providing a safe working environment for plant operators
The air-screw is made from a solid bar without welds to give a smooth, porous-free finish. This helps ensure the highest levels of hygiene and repeatability and reduces contamination risk. The pump has a pharma-grade SiC mechanical seal without leachables, specially designed for CIP return applications containing air/gas and liquid mixture. The long seal life and lack of contamination increase productivity and yield.
