The new MasoSine CertaTM pump from Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group has been designed to set a new benchmark in clean pumping for all food and beverage industry applications.

Certa^TM is latest innovation from MasoSine, the creators of Sine® pump Technology. Its launch sets even higher pumping standards in food processing. Offering EHEDG (Type EL Class I) and 3A certification as standard, Certa is extremely easy to clean for minimal maintenance and downtime.

Furthermore, this advanced new innovation in food pump technology not only delivers high suction capability to handle viscous products, it offers significant advantages over alternative technologies.

Unlike traditional pumps with rotors that cut through the fluid, Certa’s sinusoidal rotor gently carries fluid through the pump to dramatically reduce shear while cutting power consumption by up to 50% with high viscosity fluids.

Engineers in food and beverage plants are frequently faced with pumping high viscosity products, ranging from frozen orange juice, deli salads and bakery produce, through to cheese curd and savoury pie fillings.

For many years, Sine® pumps have played an important and highly successful part in conveying foods with viscosities of up to 8 million cP. Certa^TM now completes the existing product range by offering users a fully CIP capable pump at flow rates up to 99,000 l/hr. Users can be assured that media is pumped safely and without degradation.

FDA and EC1935 compliant

Food and beverage plants the world over understand that equipment can play a key role in reducing the risk of contamination and maintaining high quality levels. With this in mind, all contact parts on the Certa^TM sine pump are FDA and EC1935 compliant.

With the high demand for cleanliness also comes the requirement for simple and fast cleaning, typically through CIP procedures. Certa^TM significantly minimises the cleaning time which results in a more efficient production procedure. As well as minimising downtime, this quick procedure also means that chemical and water use is reduced, while less wastewater requires disposal.

Performance and reliability

Of course, the food-contact compliant Certa Sine® pump also offers all of the typical advantages and high performance levels delivered by proven MasoSine sinusoidal technology.

Gentle pumping with virtually no pulsation, superior viscous handling, simplicity, reliability, energy efficiency, interchangeable parts and low cost of ownership all help food and beverage plants compete in a highly competitive marketplace.

These benefits apply to all stages of the process, from unloading of the raw material to a storage tank, through transfer to a mixer/agitator/reactor/cooking vessel, to final transfer to the filling line.

Significant benefits over less efficient pumps

Certa^TM Sine® pumps offer a far better proposition than circumferential piston pumps, for example, which are difficult to clean in their standard configuration. Indeed, for CIP, users will find they have to subject circumferential piston pumps to modifications by drilling the rotor hub which ends up in a performance loss.

Certa can also offer significant benefits over less-efficient lobe pumps, as well as twin-screw pumps, which exhibit high internal slip due to bigger internal clearances and therefore offer less gentle handling.

Importantly, different applications – resulting in changes to viscosity, temperature, and flow rate – can be easily deployed with one pump setup. This mean there is no need for modifications such as bigger clearances for high temperature applications.

Along with certified innovation for food industry applications, the new Certa^TM Sine® pump series will provide an ideal solution for F&B, cosmetic or at any facility that requires the highest cleaning standards.

About us

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group (WMFTG) peristaltic tube and hose pumps meet requirements including: value for money; low cost of ownership; reliability and ease of maintenance to the food and beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, mining and many other industries.

We demonstrate how pumps deliver significant process efficiencies over the lifetime of the equipment. Whether performing flavouring addition in food processing, chemical metering in water treatment or mineral recovery, we have a solution which can cut pump downtime and reduce costs through higher accuracy metering and transfer. WMFTG has dedicated application engineers available to help customers make the right pump and tubing choice from a range providing microlitres per minute to 80 cubic metres per hour flow rates.

The only part of the pump to come into contact with the product is the tube or hose. This means there are no seals or valves that can wear or fail. Replacing the tube or hose can be performed quickly and safely. Peristaltic pump benefits include:

Total fluid containment with no seals No ancillaries Handle viscous and abrasive slurries and sludge Self-priming capability Dry running without damage to the pump In addition to their range of positive displacement pumps, Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group has added PTFE-lined chemical and industrial hoses to their range. Aflex hoses are reinforced to withstand the most severe conditions and use.
