      Turn contaminated totes into clean totes effectively and efficiently. Millions of totes are used every day worldwide filled with various product residues including food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, hazardous materials and many more. Quick and economic cleaning of these IBCs has been a longstanding dilemma for businesses, with sub-optimal solutions such as hand washing (using limited resources) or returning to suppliers to clean, which can be expensive and have a long turnaround rate. ITS offer a range of IBC cleaning solutions which can be found below.

SX

EHEDG approved fully CIP cleanable rotary lobe pumps suitable for the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

The SX is Alfa Laval’s premium rotary lobe pump designed for gentle transportation of process fluids in hygienic and ultra-clean applications in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, health and beauty, and demanding food applications.

Application

The SX range of rotary lobe pumps has been designed for use on wide ranging applications within the Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology, Fine Chemical and Speciality Food industries. Being certified by EHEDG (European Hygienic Equipment Design Group) as fully CIP cleanable to their protocol, the SX range is ideally suited to applications where cleanability and corrosion resistance is paramount. In addition the SX pump range also conforms to USA 3-A Hygienic Standard and all media contacting components are FDA compliant. The SX pump operates with a high efficiency, low shear pumping action for assured gentle handling of delicate and sensitive media. The SX pump range is also classified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres under the ATEX Directive 94/9/EC Group II, Categories 2 & 3, with temperature classification T1 to T4. The SX range is compact in size, capable of flow rates up to 115 m³/h and pressures up to 15 bar.

Standard Design

 

Pump Gearbox

The SX pump with its conventional lobe pump design concept has a robust cast iron gearbox, which provides maximum shaft rigidity and easy oil seal replacement. The SX range in series 1 – 4 has a universal gearbox design. This gives the flexibility of mounting pumps with the inlet and outlet ports in either a vertical or horizontal plane, by changing the foot and its position. The SX range in series 5 & 6 has dedicated gearbox castings, which also allows the inlet and outlet ports to be in either the vertical or horizontal plane. The SX series 7 has a dedicated gearbox casting allowing inlet and outlet ports in a vertical plane only.

Pump head Construction

The SX pump has hygienic design full bore inlet and outlet ports to International Standards, maximising inlet and outlet port efficiency and NPSH characteristics. Vertical porting and unique rotorcase internal profile enhances self-draining and self venting while maintaining optimum volumetric efficiency. The SX pump has four lobe rotors, designed using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) to develop the optimum rotor geometry – possibly the first rotary lobe pump to be developed using this technology. All rotors are rated to 150°C facilitating use with CIP/SIP processes.
