WI+
The inducer pump is the alternative to changing the process design when NPSH availability is low.

The inducer boosts the inlet pressure, and the risk of cavitation is correspondingly reduced (the NPSH required typically drops by
50-70%). When the risk of cavitation disappears, so does the risk of a large number of operational disturbances that would otherwise
result - such as excessive noise, energy loss, product damage and unnecessary wear on the pump.

The Wi+ is unique among inducer pumps, since the NPSH requirement is kept to a minimum throughout a large operating range.

W+ Variations:
WS+ S E LF-PR I M I NG PU M P
The self-priming Ws+ is designed to handle CIP return and other fluids with entrained air and foam. The unique design reduces the en-
ergy consumption and noise of traditional liquid ring pumps by using a high efficiency impeller that can be trimmed to match a specific
duty.

The Ws+ employs a built in eccentric air screw to form the liquid ring required for its self-priming capability.

• Ideal for CIP return

• Extremely clean design
• Superior shaft seal design
• Higher efficiency
• Noise reduction
• Parts interchangeability with W+ centrifugal series
• Particle friendly design
• 3A (optional) and EHEDG certified
• Designed for CIP (Cleaning In Place) as well as SIP (Sterilizing In Place)
• Available with electropolished product wetted surface (Ra < 0.5 μm)

WH P+ H IG H PR E SSU R E PU M P
The Whp+ is a high-pressure model of the W+ range. The pumps
are designed to withstand system pressures up to 60 bar. The Whp+
pump’s sturdy construction increases stability and dampens vibrations.

WA + A S E P T I C P U M P
All seals, including the shaft seal, are designed as double seals.

• Double mechanical shaft seals fitted for sterile flushing

• Double O-ring sealing of pump housing fitted for sterile flushing
• Special aseptic fittings fitted for sterile flushing

Wa+ pumps ensure absolutely aseptic production processes

with barrier media up to 150ºC. With a Wa+ pump, the risk of
contaminating the product and environment is thus reduced to
an absolute minimum.
