MM Series AODD Stainless-Steel Pumps for the Food & Beverage Industry

Almatec® MM Series Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm (AODD) Pumps have been specifically designed to meet the strict standards, regulations and operational requirements that govern the food and beverage industry. MM Series pumps are ideal for these applications because they feature food-grade wetted materials and a construction that enables clean-in-place (CIP) and sanitize-in-place (SIP) capabilities.

The design of MM Series pumps also incorporates soft redirections without rotating parts and shaft seals in the product chamber, a critical consideration for hygienic operations. This design feature, when combined with the pump’s gentle displacement principle, results in a pump solution that is ideally suited for a wide variety of food and beverage applications. MM Series pumps are offered in three pump sizes with different hygienic manifold options.

Features at a Glance

  • Modular design for easier changing of the connections and future technical variations
  • Available in three sizes: ½“, 1“, 1 ½“
  • Different hygienic manifold options, including an open butt welding end (small and easy to adapt), orientation of inlet and outlet can be adjusted just by turning the manifolds
  • Stainless-steel machined housings (SS316L), surface finishing grade 3.2 µm (0.8 µm as option)
  • Good cleanability (CIP/SIP capabilities) due to smooth and steady product channels
  • Low-shear fluid transport including solid handling
  • Material conformity to FDA, EC1935, USP Class VI and ATEX
  • Good suction head, self-priming and dry run capabilities
  • Easy disassembly of the fluid path
  • Stroke counting and diaphragm monitoring available as accessories
  • Diaphragms, ball valves and O-rings made of PTFE or EPDM
  • Maintenance-free PERSWING P® air control system without dead spot, oil-free
  • No drives, rotating parts or shaft seals within the fluid
  • For cleaning processes short-term temperature range up to 130°C (266°F)
  • Easy to startup, step-less control via the air volume and pressure

Application Examples

  • Transfer and filling of beverages, sauces, toppings, etc.
  • Dosing of food and beverage ingredients
  • Processing of meat, pastry and dough, smoothies, fruit pulp, candies
  • Transfer and filling of cosmetics
