Armfield – Miniature-Scale Research & Development Technology – FT52 Clean In Place Unit
The Armfield FT52 has been designed to provide additional cleaning performance for Armfield FT units and other equipment. It consists of a high flow rate stainless steel centrifugal pump mounted on a mobile frame.
The FT52 uses a stainless steel centrifugal pump to provide high throughputs for efficient cleaning. Achievable flow rates are dependent on the backpressure generated by the system being cleaned. Capacities up to 4.0 m3/h are achievable with low backpressure systems.
The FT52 has a small footprint and is mounted on a mobile platform, so it can easily be positioned in a lab or pilot environment to meet local CIP needs. A stainless steel splash cover protects the pump from spray during laboratory/pilot plant cleaning.
Operation is simple on/off control, which gives the maximum flow rate for efficient cleaning. Flow rates may be adjusted using a backpressure valve (not supplied).
