Hygienic Pump Comparison Chart
The Minichem is machined from one solid block of PTFE; a unique patented concept based on Flotronic’s existing One Nut Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm design. A key benefit of the ‘One-Block’ design is that it avoids the need for separate manifolds. This means no manifold seals and therefore no potential leak paths.
Flotronic’s ‘One-Block’ approach enhances the ease of maintenance benefit which the ‘One-Nut’ design delivers. The pump is held together by one nut on the side opposite the external air valve - allowing in-line diaphragm replacement in less than 15 minutes and a complete strip-down and re-build possible in less than 20 minutes. One-Block means that Minichem maintenance need focus only on One-Nut disassembly … and on the ball valves only when necessary.
Flanged as well as threaded BSP versions of the ‘Minichem’ are available, ensuring full compatibility with existing PTFE-lined pipework.
All non-wetted ‘Minichem’ parts are in Polypropylene and Stainless Steel and ATEX approved versions are also available in both FDA approved PTFE and anti-static PTFE. With environmental protection in mind, Diaphragm Rupture Protection and fully pneumatic Alarm Systems are available.
Applications:
- Chemical, pharmaceutical and similar industries
- Pilot plants (often in sampling lines)
- Emergency pumps for hazardous chemical recovery.
