Single screw pumps are very suitable for use in industries with higher hygiene levels, such as the medical industry, food and beverage industry, etc. So what are the precautions when using single screw pumps in the food industry?
1. The most important aspect of using a single screw pump in the food industry is cleanliness, so it is essential to clean and disinfect the pump when it is put into use.
2. If a single screw pump is left in a humid environment for a long time or used in a humid environment, it is easy to corrode. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to corrosion prevention, and if corrosion and rust occur, it must be dealt with in a timely manner. If parts need to be replaced, they should be replaced in a timely manner.
3. After being left unused for a long period of time, the single screw pump may produce sedimentation or drying during medium transportation, which also requires cleaning. Please refer to the manual provided by the manufacturer for specific details.
4. Because the stator of a single screw pump undergoes thermal and chemical reactions during cleaning, it is necessary to start the pump 2-3 times a minute before starting to use it. This is to ensure that the cavity between the stator and rotor of the single screw pump can be fully cleaned.
5. The lower part of the motor is equipped with a thrust bearing, which has grooves for dry cooling. It is matched with a stainless steel thrust plate, which bears the axial force of the water pump.
