A stainless-steel horizontal, corrosion-resistant self-priming centrifugal pump engineered for hygienic and chemical transfer applications. The FBZ series combines polished stainless-steel construction (SS304, SS316, SS316L) with a compact footprint and low energy consumption, offering reliable sealing and straightforward maintenance for continuous process use.
Key features
- Construction: Polished stainless steel (SS304 / SS316 / SS316L) for corrosion resistance and hygienic service
- Pump type: Horizontal self-priming centrifugal pump with good self-priming performance
- Impeller options: Semi-open or closed impeller profiles to match media characteristics
- Shaft connection: Straight (close-coupled) or bearing-bracket (shaft-coupled) arrangements
- Sealing: Cantilever-style mechanical seals for improved reliability and reduced leakage
- Temperature capability: Suitable for liquids up to ~90°C in direct-connection setups and up to ~105°C with bearing-bracket configurations
- Media handled: Clean or slightly contaminated liquids, including viscous, corrosive, hygienic fluids and liquids containing small soft particles or fibers
Applications
Widely used in food and beverage, pharmaceutical and cosmetics, chemical and fine-chemical processing, electroplating, sewage treatment and other industrial processes requiring corrosion-resistant, hygienic or chemically compatible pumping.
Selection and ordering guidance
When specifying an FBZ pump for a process application, please confirm:
- Material grade required (SS304, SS316, SS316L)
- Impeller type (semi-open vs closed) according to solids content and viscosity
- Preferred coupling arrangement (close-coupled vs bearing-bracket) based on service temperature and maintenance access
- Required mechanical seal materials for chemical compatibility
- Expected operating temperature and the presence of abrasive or fibrous solids
Benefits
- Corrosion-resistant stainless-steel construction for long service life in aggressive or sanitary environments
- Compact, polished design suited for hygienic installations
- Low energy consumption and good sealing performance
- Easy maintenance with proven mechanical seal technology
Example model in this series: 40SFBZ-18 (specify final performance curve, flow and head requirements when ordering).
