AIR-OPERATED PUMPS ensure hygienic operation
Air diaphragm pumping solutions for any process or application including hygienic conditions, abrasive and solid-laden industrial and harsh chemicals are available fromVerder UK
V
erder has introduced the Verderair Hi-Clean range of air operated
double diaphragm pumps. The Hi-Clean range is suitable where pumping processes require FDA, 3A and EC1935/2005 compliant specification. Within the Verderair brand: there is an
air diaphragm pumping solution for any process or application including hygienic conditions, abrasive and solid-laden industrial applications and for harsh chemicals and environments. Constructed from SS316 stainless steel
polished to RA 3,2 μm the centre section is available in aluminium and PP for where a full SS316 is not required. Hi-Clean features a piston-type pump for direct insertion into IBCs, barrels and other containers for hygienic transfer.
EFFICIENT OPERATION At the heart of the pump is the air valve. The Verderair valves are super responsive and fast-acting so all of the air is used to push the fluid with no waste. This makes them the most efficient on
the market. The air valve reduces the total amount of air needed to move a set volume of fluid. The operating volume and vibration is reduced, contributing to a better working environment. Pump range is CIP and SIP compatible
and is specially designed to be disassembled with a simple clamp
arrangement. The flanges are available in tri-clamp or DIN 11851 configurations for crevice-free connection. Because the air valve is encapsulated the pump can be jet washed. This design allows the strip, inspection and service to be completed in less than 20 minutes.
FLUIDS AND SOLIDS The Verderair Hi-Clean range can deliver a flow rate of up to 568L/min and up to 20,000cPs. The positive displacement of the moving diaphragms is a gentle, low-
DIAPHRAGM PUMPS FOR PROCESSING INDUSTRIES
Rugged Graco process pumps are now available from Thorite including air-operated diaphragm products for the food, chemicals and pharmaceuticals processing industries and featuring models capable of efficiently moving substances as diverse as acids or glue. For general industry use positive displacement utility pumps are ideal for small applications. Its Saniforce range includes air-operated double diaphragm pumps, piston transfer pumps, drum unloaders, bin evacuation systems (BES) and high pressure cleaning packages. These make up complete portfolios of rugged equipment designed for individual food products. Saniforce
offers a similar product range for manufacturers of personal care creams and cosmetics designed for maximum performance; the Saniforce 12:1 piston pump features flow rates of up to 8.5 gpm (32 lpm) and up to 1,000,000 cps when mounted on a drum or bin unloader system. Product highlights include quick knockdown lowers made from 300 Series stainless steel for fast cleaning
and long lasting durability, easily removable FDA-compliant shroud to access and clean the modular air valve for reduced downtime and the most advanced air motor on the market. The availability of Graco pumping technology significantly extends Thorite's unparalleled expertise in providing the pick of the world's processing equipment for UK users backed by expert personnel and engineering support.

Pump range is CIP and SIP compatible and specially designed to be disassembled with a simple clamp arrangement
shear pumping principle which preserves the often delicate structure of the fluid. Models are available with ball vales or
flapper types to permit solids of up to 63.5mm. Suitable fluids include viscous pasta sauces and pastes, milk and dairy, beers, wines and juices in addition to personal care products including creams, gels and shampoo.
ROBUST AND CAPABLE The working principle of an air diaphragm pump allows the flow path to run dry without damage and is true self- priming. Selected models feature over- moulded diaphragms and leak detection sensors for 3A compliance for minimal disruption to the process line. Every Verder pump is supported by our
sales engineers – either over the phone, email or in person at your premises. If you are familiar with air diaphragm technology we recommend you contact our UK sales office for a quotation. If you are new to air diaphragm pumps,
have a specialist application or simply prefer talking to someone in person, we have a UK-wide sales engineer team who can consult with you at your premises.
