The design of the BTCS food and hygienic pump from SEEPEX is characterized by a rectangular hopper with a compression zone and feed screw conveyor. This makes it particularly suited for pumping highly viscous, minimally flowable products – both with and without solids. In the hygienic design, the pump is fitted with open joints. However, it is optionally available with closed pin joints.
Available with a choice of open hygienic joints or closed pin joints, suitable to your individual application
Fulfills strict hygienic standards
Certified under the 3-A Sanitary Standards (variant with open joints) and designed in compliance with the EHEDG guidelines, and fitted with FDA-approved and EU 1935-2004 compliant components
Residue-free cleaning
Special housing geometry and open, hygienic pin joints facilitate optimal cleaning and sterilization: CIP, SIP, COP
Wear resistant
Hermetically sealed elastomer sleeves are particularly suited for abrasive pumping media
Optimal conveyance
Optimal filling of conveying chambers through feed screw and conically closing compression zone
Low pulsation
Minimal pulsation and low shear characteristics allow the gentle conveyance of sensitive media

Options
Pressure branch
In stainless steel, 1/2" connections to DIN EN ISO 228-1 or NPT.
Rotor
Wear resistant and corrosion-resistant materials. Optionally with hard surface treatment.
Conventional geometry
With short pitches and a compact design, the conventional geometry produces high pressures.
6L geometry
With a small rotor diameter and a long pitch, the 6L geometry attains lower surface velocities and extends the service life due to its large sealing line.
Base plate
Tailor-made selection of base plates. The base plates can be easily combined with different drives from all major manufacturers.
Stator
In food-grade materials according to FDA, and in compliance with EHEDG directives. Follows pharma regulations according to several USP classes.
Conventional geometry
With short pitches and a compact design, the conventional geometry produces high pressures.
6L geometry
With a small rotor diameter and a long pitch, the 6L geometry attains lower surface velocities and extends the service life due to its large sealing line.
Tricam geometry
The rotor with Tricam geometry features a three-helix geometry. This enables it to achieve larger conveying capacities with the same overall length of the pump.
Coupling rod
Made of stainless steel for power transmission. Available with propellers or feed screw.
Open hopper
Rectangular feed hopper with conveying screw for pumping higly visous products.
Open pin joint
Hygienic joint, designed for higher pressures and flow rates providing optimal cleanliness.
Lantern
A corrosion resistant design, optionally made of stainless steel, connects the pump and drive and secures the assembly to the base plate or skid.
Plug-In shaft
Designed for easy CIP, made of stainless steel and designed to mount the mechanical seal in food grade material.
Plug-in shaft connection
For easy dismantling of the pump and drive enabling quick replacement of the rotating parts and shaft seals. The plug-in shaft pin secures the shaft connection to the drive and the splash ring protects the bearing from contamination/gland leakage.
Drive
Geared motors, variable speed drives or frequency controlled motors of all major manufacturers, directly flanged to the pump without additional couplings or guards. Covers made of stainless steel are available.
Overpressure Protection
The pressure gauge switches off the pump as soon as a pre-set pressure is exceeded or not reached and protects the pump from increased wear and tear or piping damage.
Single-acting mechanical seal
Universal standard mechanical seal for dosing, food applications and semi-submersible pumps for sealing the plug-in shaft in the suction casing or the hopper.
