The GEA Hilge CONTRA III multistage centrifugal pump in the CONTRA range is designed according to the Hygienic Design guidelines and has a decades-long track record in sterile applications thanks to its electropolished surfaces, high-quality sealing materials and versatile designs. 'Centrifugal pumps are, so to speak, the workhorses of the process engineering industry. They are the most widely used pumps in the pharmaceutical industry because their design ensures the necessary hygienic, reproducible production,' explains Martin Zickler, Product Manager for hygienic centrifugal pumps at GEA.

By introducing the new size with increased drive power, GEA has doubled the maximum flow rate to 100 cubic meters per hour compared to the previously available range. 'Our target for the GEA Hilge pump range is to cover as large performance spectrum as possible with just a few sizes,' says Zickler. 'This reduces spare parts inventory costs for plant operators. The greater the number of individual pump sizes in a process line, the wider the range of mechanical seals and O-ring sets are required to be kept in stock.'
