Rimless WC New centrifugal pump
Design, hygiene, and ease of cleaning are decisive factors when
choosing toilets. The usual selection of toilets (WCs) is a hiding
place for germs, becoming the breeding ground for disease.
The Geberit rimless toilets are designed entirely without flush
rims, thus avoiding the chance of germ and dirt build-up in
those hard-to-reach places. Such a design requires flushing
technology, which has been achieved. The design creates
another opportunity for designers and plumbers to upsell their
clients when selecting ceramic sanitaryware. Part of its new Packo range of food-grade
pumps, the new centrifugal pump is capable of
pumping beer into eight million 250mℓ bottles
an hour. The Dutch-based Verder Group acquired
the UK-based Fullwood Packo Group in 2015,
with Verder South Africa embarking on an
extensive marketing campaign for the food and
beverage industry. Kobus Fourie, Packo pump
specialist at the company, explains that the
range has application in 11 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. “At the moment, our campaign is focused on breweries, and
food and beverage,” Fourie confirms. Globally, a demand for increased production
capacities and more efficient processes in the food and beverage industry has seen a
need for stainless steel pumps with flow rates in excess of 1 000m³/h.
