PH60 Hydra-Cell Pro Pharmaceutical Pump

Seal-Less Pump — up to 20 GPM at pressures to 580 PSI

The Wanner Hydra-Cell^® Pro PH60 is a hygienic version of the H25 Hydra-Cell Pro pump. The pump-head design satisfies the cleanability characteristics required for high-purity liquid applications in the biopharmaceutical, food/beverage, cosmetics, nutraceuticals and ultra-pure water (semiconductor) industries.

Its three-chamber design delivers a smooth flow rate and is compatible with most shear-sensitive liquid applications. Although the pump is capable of higher pressures, the majority of installations involve the transfer of delicate products that are challenging to pump because they are non-lubricating, contain particulate, are viscous, are at extreme temperature — or combinations of these conditions.

Technical Specifications

Seal-Less Reliability

The Hydra-Cell design has no dynamic seal between the process liquid and the mechanical side of the pump. Reliability comes in part from its minimalist construction — few components contact the pumped liquid. Elimination of a dynamic seal significantly reduces the potential for fugitive emissions and process contamination.

Hydra-Cell pumps can operate dry and are undamaged by cavitation or a fully closed inlet. The only practical ways to damage a Hydra-Cell pump are to operate it beyond its design pressure or temperature limits or to pump a liquid incompatible with its materials of construction.

Because the PH60 can be run dry, residual liquid volume inside the pump head can be minimized. The pump is typically cleaned or sterilized internally using steam or by circulating a sanitizing liquid.

Pharmaceutical / Hygienic Compliance

• USP Class VI compliant — materials in contact with pharmaceutical products are safe, non-toxic and do not leach harmful substances
• TSE/BSE-free materials — certified free from agents that cause Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies and Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy
• Full material traceability — supports GMP documentation for validation, audits and inspections
• 0.8 Ra polished wetted surfaces — complies with ASME BPE, 3-A, FDA and cGMP expectations

Applications

The relatively high flow rate and pressure capability of the PH60 align well with clean-in-place (CIP) systems, ultra-pure water generation and spray-drying applications, as well as the transfer of delicate, non-lubricating, particulate-laden, viscous or extreme-temperature products.
