Cleaning and Hygiene Systems

Cleaning and Hygiene Systems

Pumps are devices that enable the delivery of a pure liquid or a mixture from one place to another and have a wide range of applications. Pumps with different capacities, dimensions and operating principles are used in all areas of the industry. Pumps selected to be suitable for the type of fluid to be used, application type, working environment and other parameters are also an indispensable part of cleaning and hygiene systems. In this context, detergent pump, rinse aid pump and other pump types are the most frequently used pump types in this field. In addition, foam and dilution systems, various measuring equipment and accessories are very much needed in this area.

Detergent Pump Features

These pumps are generally types with a low working pressure having peristaltic working principle. These pumps, which are produced for dosing detergents or polishers in professional kitchens, can also be shown in the category of dosing pumps from time to time. However, the detergent pump produced specifically for cleaning and hygiene systems has some prominent features. We can list them as follows:

• Working pressure is generally around 3 bar maximum.

• It is designed to pump 5-10 liters of detergent or rinse aid per hour.

• Some detergent pump models have a double peristaltic pump system and the rinse aid pump is also included in this system. Especially in large capacity professional dishwasher systems, these pumps are used.

• When you want to buy a detergent pump, many accessories are usually supplied with it. These include a stainless steel injector, suction filter, hose adapter, wall mounting plate, suction and discharge hoses etc.

• In some models of detergent pump or rinse aid pump, which generally work with 220 V AC power supply, the flow rate can be adjusted manually.

What Should Be Considered When Choosing A Detergent Pump ?

It is useful to pay attention to some criteria in choosing the detergent or rinse aid pump which is one of the most basic equipment of industrial dishwashing or laundry systems. An incorrectly selected pump will cause several problems in the application in the short or long term. Therefore, the following questions should be answered in choosing the pump?

• Are the pump flow and pressure values ​​correctly determined?

• Are the properties of the detergent, explosive or other fluids to be used known? Are the materials used in the pump inner and outer parts compatible with these fluids?

• What is the maintenance period foreseen in pump use?

• Is the energy source necessary for the pump to operate properly and adequately provided?

• Are the necessary accessories used for the detergent pump to operate stably?

• Is there a need for rinse aid pump besides detergent? If there is such a need, it is recommended to use a double peristaltic pump system.

In addition to detergent and rinse aid applications, foam and dilution systems can be used when needed. These systems are designed to work with one or two different chemicals. For the detergent and rinse aid pump to operate smoothly, the concentration level of the fluids used should be adjusted correctly. Foam and dilution systems ensure that this is done correctly and regularly.
