Positive Displacement Pump

The definition of a positive displacement pump is broad; any pump that draws product into the inlet and discharges it by mechanically displacing the fluid within the pump chamber is classified as a positive displacement pump. This category includes gear pumps, rotary lobe pumps, and piston pumps. Positive displacement pumps are typically selected when handling liquids with viscosities above 1,000 CPS or liquids containing particulates of defined size. The positive displacement pump referenced here refers specifically to the food‑grade models manufactured by Waukesha in the United State

Stainless steel 304 or 316L

Food‑grade positive displacement pumps can be optionally configured, providing a transfer capacity of 30 to 60 tons per hour. The typical maximum operating speed for standard configurations is approximately 400 RPM
