Centrifugal Pumps for the Pharmaceutical Sector: CDR's X Series

Among the products CDR for the sector industrial and the’chemical industry, Centrifugal pumps for the pharmaceutical sector are the company's main product line of our company.

The pharmacy, in fact, with its production of Agrichemicals, cosmetics, plant protection products, and active ingredients, requires specific applications and materials that prevent any leakage and contamination of the liquid inside. The characteristics of pharmaceutical plants allow the installation and use of a wide range of centrifugal pumps, both horizontal and vertical.

Centrifugal pumps for the pharmaceutical sector: suitable for clean fluids or those containing solids

The type and concentration of the fluid to be handled is a deciding factor in the installation of centrifugal pumps for sector pharmaceutical. Fluids containing small solid particles and useful fluids indeed have different requirements, and must be treated with different products to avoid damaging the pump and the system.

Clean liquids

If the treated liquids are clean, meaning they do not contain material particles inside, then they are suitable for installations with closed-impeller pumps.

The DTN-series (DTN ISO AND) range of horizontal magnetic-drive centrifugal pumps DTN ASME) are perfect for the pharmaceutical sector, since their new design with a dynamic shaft ensures greater pump reliability minor axial thrust along the entire performance curve. Even the UTN range (running on a base UTN-L monoblock UTN-BL) ensures zero-emission safety and is ideal for predominantly clean fluids.

Alternatively, the UTS It is a steel magnetic drive pump and one of CDR’s best-selling centrifugal pumps for the pharmaceutical sector: it can be customized in terms of energy efficiency, performance, and safety, and is available in both bare-shaft and monoblock versions.

Liquids containing solids

In most cases, liquids containing solid material particles require the installation of a mechanical seal centrifugal pump Single or double.

With a maximum total head of 75m and a flow rate of 250m³mechanical seal pump CCL It is characterized by a lined coating of the wetted parts in Polypropylene and it is perfect for installation in environments that require strong resistance to contamination and material leakage.

CDR also has in its catalog, from the same family of mechanical seal pumps, the UCL, single-stage process pump coated in various materials, including polypropylene, polyvinyl fluoride perfluoroalkoxy, ideal for pumping corrosive, aggressive, and hazardous liquids (slightly contaminated, clean, low viscosity).

The X Series: new range of CDR magnetic drive pumps

Every year, CDR Pompe invests time and resources in our Research and Development department to ensure innovation, quality, safety, and diversified solutions for our global customers. At the request of a major pharmaceutical company, our team developed and produced the new magnetic drive pump for Series X.

The X Series features different types of pumps:

• the XTN, Plastic-lined magnetic drive pump, ideal for liquids with a high concentration of solids and with an admissible working temperature of up to +160°;
• the XTS, Steel magnetic drive pumps, ideal for handling toxic, flammable, and hazardous liquids, it guarantees maximum corrosion resistance and maximum fluid containment safety in case of potential ruptures.

Both of these pumps comply with normative ATEX (ATEX Zone 1 indoor and outdoor),

The unique feature of these pumps lies in the diamond-impregnated silicon carbide bushings and the completely revised open impeller and internal hydraulics: this allows for the proper passage of fluids containing solids and continuous recirculation of the pumped liquid between the casing and the volute.

Centrifugal Pumps for the pharmaceutical Sector: A Revolution with the X Series

This pump has revolutionized the pharmaceutical sector, an area where mechanical seal pumps were traditionally installed—pumps that were often prone to wear and tear, resulting in high maintenance costs. The X Series marked a turning point thanks to the introduction of magnetic drive technology., which completely eliminates the risk of fluid leaks, increases plant safety, and drastically reduces maintenance requirements.

The reliability of the X Series is particularly appreciated. in critical processes of Pharmaceutical manufacturing, where it is essential to ensure sterile, constant, and contamination-free working conditions. The compact design, the complete absence of wear parts such as mechanical seals, and the ease of cleaning make these pumps ideal for environments subject to strict quality control. Furthermore, their longevity and reduced downtime contribute to optimizing production efficiency and containing operating costs.

The CDR Pompe X Series is the result of a constant commitment to research and innovation, synonymous with quality Made in Italy. Contact us and we will schedule an appointment to discover how we can support your plant's needs with tailored solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which centrifugal pumps magnetic drive are suitable for clean liquids in the industry pharmaceutical?

For clean liquids, that is, free of solid particles, impeller closed-loop pumps are used. CDR offers the DTN lined (ISO and ASME versions) with dynamic shaft, the UTN (based on UTN-L and the UTN-BL monoblock) with zero emission, and the UTS in steel, available in bare shaft or monoblock version.

Which pump should be chosen for pharmaceutical fluids with a high concentration of solids?

For fluids containing many solids, the choice is XTN the Series X CDR pump, a plastic magnetic drive lined pump with an allowable working temperature of up to +160°. It has impeller open and diamond-tipped silicon carbide seals. Alternatively, mechanical seal pumps single or double seals such as the CCL can be used.

What are the technical characteristics of the pumps XTN and XTS the CDR X Series?

The Series X includes the XTN, lined in plastic, and the XTS, in steel, both of magnetic drive which are ATEX Zone 1 compliant, both internally and externally. They feature diamond-tipped silicon carbide bushings, an impeller open and internal hydraulic system that allows solid materials to pass through, and continuous liquid exchange between the cup and the valve.

Why magnetic drive is the better choice than mechanical seal in pumps for the pharmaceutical industry?

It magnetic drive eliminates mechanical seals, which are subject to wear and high maintenance costs, and eliminates the risk of fluid leakage. It increases the safety of the system, reduces maintenance interventions and plant downtime. The compact design and ease of cleaning help to avoid contamination in critical processes.

What are the characteristics of the CDR mechanical seal CCL pump for the industry pharmaceutical?

The CCL is a centrifugal pump mechanical seal with wet parts coated in polypropylene (lined). It reaches a total head maximum flow of 75 m and a maximum flow flow rate of 250 m3/h. It is suitable for environments that require strong resistance to contamination and material leakage, for example with liquids containing solids.

Which CDR pump should be used for toxic, flammable and dangerous liquids in the workplace pharmaceutical?

XTS The X Series pump is made magnetic drive of steel and is designed for toxic, flammable and dangerous liquids. It guarantees maximum resistance to corrosion and maximum safety in the containment of the fluid in the event of rupture. It complies with ATEX Zone 1 regulations, both internally and externally.
