Flotronic® Slimline 14” Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm Pump

Machined from solid material, Flotronic's fully drainable Slimline pumps can be used in a wide range of industries for any liquid transfer. The food and beverage industry commonly employs air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps because of their flexibility. To ensure food safety, the pumps must be cleaned frequently. Clean-in-Place (CIP) processes are preferred when the application allows, as Clean-out-of-Place (COP) requires a worker to strip down the pump and clean it manually. Although AODD pumps can be cleaned using integrated CIP equipment, most AODD pumps are not compatible with external CIP rigs. Alone among AODD-style pumps, the Flotronic Slimline series can accommodate external rigs for CIP processes. The secret is its inside-out design that eliminates extra pipework. The Flotronic ® One-Nut® pump, fitted with reinforced diaphragms, can be cleaned-in-place at up to 7 Bar without damaging the pump. The pump can be used with external CIP rigs or the pump itself can be used to transfer the CIP materials. Once CIP has been completed, the pump drains completely without manual intervention (when configured with optional slotted seats). Flotronic's Slimline pumps may be more compact than competitor air-operated double-diaphragm Pump (AODD) pumps, but they’re just as capable - offering all the benefits for which Flotronic pumps are renowned, including Flotronic’s innovative, easy-maintenance, One-Nut design, which allows pump maintenance in a matter of minutes.
