62 PRODUCTS SA’s largest centrifugal pump Verder Pumps South Africa has introduced the largest centrifugal pump available. The new centrifugal pump is capable of pumping beer into eight million 250mℓ bottles an hour. It was launched towards the end of 2016. The range has application in 13 niche sectors. These are dairy; meat and fish; textiles; wastewater and potable water; breweries and distilleries; food and beverage; washing and disinfection; surface treatment; vegetables; animal feeds and biogas; hot frying oil; petrochemicals; and pharmaceuticals. Verder South Africa launched its Colossus pump, an extension of Packo’s MCP3 and MFP3 pump range. It weighs 1.6t and offers a flow rate of 1 200m³/h, with a 200kW motor. While many breweries still use cast iron pumps for higher flow rates, the stainless steel design of the Colossus is much more hygienic. Healthy drinking water straight from the tap The Grohe Blue Home kit consists of a special faucet and a cooler with integrated filter and carbonator. The drinking water system can easily be installed in nearly any kitchen in just a few steps. Kitchen cabinets with a width of 30cm are sufficient for installing the cooler. The integrated filter for optimum water quality and the carbonator adding the fine bubbles can easily be exchanged from the front. Ordering fresh filters and refill cartridges takes just a few clicks in the Grohe Blue online shop — everything needed is supplied straight to the customer’s door. The MCP3 and MFP3 pumps are also energy efficient and maintained easily, with an electro-polished finish that is highly corrosion resistant and easy to clean. The pumps are a particularly reliable option for filtration applications, pasteurisation, yeast propagation, and in cleaning systems. Grohe Blue Home is a good choice for a healthy lifestyle. Research has shown that people tapping their own water drink up to 35% more water than users of bottled water. Grohe Blue Home can even help save money, cutting a family’s drinking water costs by as much as 60% compared to the prices of leading bottled water brands. What is more, total carbon emissions are reduced by about 61% compared to bottled water. For more information, contact +27 (0) 11 704 7500. For more information, contact +27 (0) 10 450 0500.
