Just announced by Wright Flow Technologies, formerly Johnson Pumps (UK), is a new range of self-priming compressed air driven hygienic diaphragm pumps (AODDs) meeting the strict hygiene requirements of the food and pharmaceutical industries. Known as the Dominator range and manufactured in Sweden, the pumps are suitable for high-viscosity materials such as jam, sauces and curds and handle the pumped material gently. All wetted parts are in polished stainless steel AISI 316 and the non-wetted parts are in chem-nickelled aluminium. Clamp bands and wing nuts on the inlet and outlet pipes allow rapid dissembly, cleaning and reassembly.

Three capacities are available ( ½” 1 and 2), respectively pumping 20 litres/minute, 100 l/m and 300 l/m, at a working pressure of up to 10 Bar, and a working temperature of up to 100C. All can be sterilised by autoclave or CIP cleaning at up to 130C. The pumps are equipped with dairy connections according to SMS, DIN or Tri-Clover, except for the smallest capacity pump which has either ½” male threads or Tri-Clover connections. The Dominator pumps are also equipped with the Wright Flow Technologies patented air valve system, which makes it impossible for the pump to stall and cause production breakdown.

Wright Flow Technologies encompasses the wide variety of fluid handling products and technologies within IDEX Corporation for hygienic and ultra-pure applications. The company offers pumping technologies such as rotary lobe, circumferential piston, and AODD, as well as hygienic valves and magnetic and turbine flow meters. This extensive product portfolio provides solutions to any fluid handling application in the food, dairy, beverage, personal care, pharmaceutical, biotech, and other special industries.
