Sanitary Centrifugal Pump for Hygienic Applications | Fristam FP Series

What is the FP Series?

The Fristam FP Series Hygienic Centrifugal Pump is a pedestal-mounted pump engineered for maximum durability, efficiency, and reliability in demanding process applications. First introduced in Germany in 1936 and later brought to the U.S. on evaporator systems, the FP quickly earned its reputation as a trusted solution for industries requiring robust, hygienic pumping performance.

With its cast and forged construction, precision impellers, and self-aligning shaft design, the FP continues to deliver long service life and quiet, efficient operation for today’s most challenging hygienic processes.

Where is it Used? (Key Applications)

The FP is widely used across industries that demand cleanability, reliability, and consistent flow:

Dairy: Transfer of milk, cream, and yogurt
Beverage: Handling juices, soft drinks, and beer
Food: Efficient transfer of soups, sauces, and syrups
Personal Care: Reliable pumping of lotions, gels, and cosmetic products
Biopharma: Medicines, WFI (Water for Injection), and critical process liquids

How Does it Work? (Theory of Operation)

At the heart of the FP is the centrifugal pumping principle:

Product enters through the central inlet (eye) of the impeller
Optimized impeller vanes accelerate the product outward using centrifugal force
Liquid is directed against the casing wall and discharged through the outlet

This streamlined hydraulic design ensures maximum efficiency, gentle product handling, and reliable operation, even under challenging suction conditions.
