Positive Displacement Pumps
Designed for use with both low and high-viscosity media, these positive displacement pumps offer low-shear pumping for the gentle transport of sensitive process fluids. The rotary lobe line has models for various levels of hygienic strictness within the food and beverage, dairy, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.
Centrifugal Pumps
Alfa Laval’s line of centrifugal pumps focus on evaporation, high-pressure, and self-priming applications, while also being well-suited for CIP. Valutech carries both the premium LKH, and cost effective SolidC lines; for those interested in the now-obsolete MR Liquid Ring line of pumps, please see the replacement: LKH Prime.
Based on Alfa Laval’s LKH model, the LKH Prime is a self-priming pump using air-screw technology to ensure efficiency in a hygienic setting. This line is mainly used for entrained air CIP duties, but can also be used for product transfer to reduce capital expenditure. This line replaces the now-obsolete MR Liquid Ring line of pumps.
