What Makes this Pump Suitable for Pharmaceutical Applications?

This pump series was co-developed with a leading biotech supplier, ensuring it meets the high standards of the life sciences industry. All wetted parts are manufactured from USP Class VI certified materials (PTFE or PP), and feature smooth, crevice-free internal surfaces to prevent bacterial growth. This ultra-hygienic design makes this pump ideally suited to sterile processes.

What is USP Class VI Certification?

USP Class VI is a stringent biocompatibility standard used in the Pharmaceutical industry. It means the materials have passed tests for toxicity, reactivity with living tissue, and safety for biological and parenteral applications. This ensures the pump does not leak contaminants into the product or alter its properties.

What Materials are Available?

Wetted materials available include Virgin PTFE as it's chemically inert and resistant to aggressive fluids, as well as Polypropylene (PP) as it's lightweight and cost-effective for many Pharmaceutical applications. All materials are FDA-compliant and USP Class V certified.

How Easy is it to Clean & Maintain this Pump?

Very easy! Disassembly is simplified owing to only 3 main housing components, and is designed to support CIP (Clean in Place) and SIP (Sterilise in Place) applications. Furthermore, total visual inspection is possible for all wetted parts, with no hidden crevices or dead zones.

What Types of Pharmaceutical Applications is it Used For?

This pump is ideal for Biotech manufacturing, sterile fluid handling, Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) transfer, buffer and media delivery, as well as vaccine and injectable production.

Is this Pump ATEX-Certified?

Standard pharmaceutical models are not ATEX-rated, but ATEX versions can be specified for hazardous environments. Let us know your zone classification if this is a requirement.

What are the Available Models & Capacities?

With connection sizes ranging from ¾” to 2", these pumps offer flows between 60 l/min up to 570 l/min.
