    SCANDI BREW® Yeast pump GP 40-200


    Yeast storage

    Application
    The SCANDI BREW® Yeast Pump is a positive self-priming
    gear pump (type “Rotan”) specially developed to pump fluids
    with high viscosity (such as harvest yeast) or emulsions or
    fluids with suspended particles needing gentle handling.
    The pump is constructed to fulfil the strict hygienic demands
    set by the brewing and sanitary process industries.

    Construction
    The pump housing and rotor are made of stainless steel AISI
    304 with star wheel in acid proof bronze. Placed in the centre
    the star wheel is driven by the rotor, which has inside tooth-
    ing. This construction gives a high suction power when filled
    with liquid (up to 0,5 bar vacuum).

    Standard in- and outlet


    of pump GP 40, GP 60 Male threaded 2” DS
    and GP 100:
    Standard in- and outlet
    of pump GP 160 Male threaded 21⁄2” DS
    and GP 200:
    Optional connections are available on request.
    Benefits
    • Very gentle transport of product
    The pump is designed to have minimum slot losses enabling
    • High suction power, up to 0,5 bar vacuum
    it to pump liquids with free CO2 /gas.
    • Suitable for yeast / fluids with high levels of CO2 / gas
    • Steam sterilising possible at standstill
    Operation
    • Built-in combined pressure relief and CIP by-pass valve
    The flow rate of the product is changed only slightly when
    • Sanitary design – CIP’ed around the stuffing box
    passing through the pump which secures a gentle transport
    without whips and pulsation. The pump is equipped with a
    .
    built-in combined CIP and by-pass valve. The valve opens
    when the pressure reaches 8,5 bar and product is recirculat-
    ed via channels back to the pump inlet.
    The valve can be force opened manually or pneumatically
    during CIP. The built-in channels also provide an effective
    cleaning around the stuffing box.

    Max. operation temperature with product or during CIP is


    80°C. At standstill, steam sterilisation at maximum 100°C is
    possible.

    Cleaning
    The pump is cleaned in-line, but needs an external CIP by-
    pass as not to act as an obstruction during line CIP

    Mounting Maintenance
    The SCANDI BREW® Yeast pump is fixed on a stainless steel Requires regular disassembly and examination of star wheel and
    trolley in the standard execution or optionally mounted on a mechanical seal.
    stainless steel frame. Requires replacement of O-ring at pressure relief and CIP by-pass
    valve on a regular basis.
    When the pump is built in line it is recommended to make a
    2” by-pass with a shut-off valve to direct most of the flow Extra Equipment
    during CIP in by-pass. • Connection pieces for various threads (e.g. DIN 11851, BSP,
    RJT)
    Capacity • Additionally, the pump can be supplied with variable speed con-
    The pump is available with the following standard flow rates trol in order to regulate the capacity for dosing purposes (gear
    and pressure: vario or via frequency converter).
    • The pump is available as a complete dosing unit with flow
    40, 60, 100, 160 or 200 litres/minute and meter/counter and control box allowing for a specified volume of
    lifting head of 4 or 8 bar. product to be dosed after which the pump automatically stops.
