2.0 Technical information
Important!
The pump must not be used for other applications than recommended and quoted for
without consulting your supplier.
2.1 Dry running
Thanks to the self-priming ability of the pump it will only take a few seconds before the
pump starts to prime. The small amount of friction heat that is being created during these
few seconds will not damage the pump.
Bronze and stainless steel pumps can withstand a dry running period of 30 seconds
without damaging the impeller or the pump. Frequent dry running will however shorten the
service life of the impeller.
2.2 Pump body
2.2.1 Body executions
The FIP-range is available in 3 different
pump body executions:
• Hygienic stainless steel, AISI 316,
polished according to sanitary standards
• Stainless steel, AISI 316
• Bronze, dezincification resistant brass
2.3 Shaft material
• Hygienic stainless steel and industrial
stainless steel pumps are supplied with
double flat drive, stainless steel AISI 329
shafts. The double flat drive is designed
to avoid growth of bacteria in pockets of
stagnant media, and is easy to clean.
• Bronze pumps are supplied with splined
drive stainless steel AISI 329 shafts. The
splined drive ensures that the drive torque
is distributed evenly over an increased area
between the impeller and the shaft.
