SPECIFIC CONSTRUCTION

Fristam shear pumps were developed based on our proven centrifugal pumps of the FP series. In place of their impeller, a rotor-and-stator system draws inhomogeneous products through shearing clearances of just 0.3 mm at tip speeds of up to 38 m/s. As a result of extremely high flow rates in the rotor-and-stator system, and the high shear rates of up to 125,000 1/s, multiphase products are blended with supreme efficiency.

FAQs

1. What are shear pumps?

Shear pumps are mechanical devices also known as high shear mixers or blenders, it's a three-dimensional shearing process to continuously produce perfect blends of consistent quality with absolutely homogenous end products. It serves in diverse industrial applications including pharmaceutical, cosmetics and home care, beverages and food.

2. Can shear pumps handle high-viscosity liquids?

Yes, Shear pumps can handle high-viscosity liquids, however, the pumps have a few limitations related to its specific defined design and application and those are high-torque motors, external priming needs to be paired with a feeder at the initial stage to turn down the viscosity of fluids before entering into the pumps, pumps inlet and outlet design, and speed operation.

3. Are shear pumps suitable for sanitary applications?

Yes, Shear Pumps are suitable for sanitary applications due to its specific design and industrial compliance (3-A sanitary standard, EHEDG certification), 316L stainless steel material that is corrosion resistant, Clean-in-place (CIP) and SIP (Sterilize-in-place) compatibility, Low shearing and pulsation.

4. How do Fristam Shear Pumps improve production efficiency?

An improvement of production efficiency by Fristam shear pumps through various parameters including application possibilities, homogenization method, process-oriented customized solution, minimal downtime and maintenance costs, versatility and energy efficiency.
