Certa EHEDG pump: Elevating hygienic pumping efficiency
Diana Aoun | October 08, 2023In the world of food and beverage production, ensuring product quality and maintaining hygienic standards are paramount. In this regard, the new Certa EHEDG pump from Watson Marlow is emerging as a game-changer in the realm of process pumps.
The Certa EHEDG pump is engineered to meet the highest standards in hygiene and cleanability. It sets itself apart from other pumping solutions, including lobe or circumferential piston pumps, by offering an unmatched level of cleanliness. All contact parts are not only U.S. Food and Drug Administration-compliant but also meet the rigorous EG1935 standards, ensuring that products remain untainted throughout the pumping process.

Another notable feature of the Certa pump is its ability to provide a smooth product flow without the need for additional dampeners. This translates to virtually pulse-free pumping, reducing the risk of product shearing and foaming, resulting in improved yield and consistently high product quality.
The Certa EHEDG has also been designed with cost-effectiveness in mind. Thanks to reduced Clean-in-Place (CIP) cycle times and lower cleaning agent requirements, a significant reduction in operating costs can be achieved. Maintenance has also been streamlined, ensuring that the pump can be serviced within minutes without the need to remove it from the system, minimizing downtime.
Energy consumption is a critical concern in any production facility. The Certa pump excels in this regard, consuming up to 50% less power compared to lobe or circumferential pumps. This level of energy efficiency extends even to high-viscosity products, making it a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective choice.
For operations where space is an issue, the Certa compact sine pump offers a 30% reduction in footprint without compromising performance. Its energy-saving capabilities make it a perfect fit for various applications, even those involving highly viscous products.
Certa pumps are also available with an ergonomic hinge and O-ring seal system, facilitating easy assembly and disassembly, without the need for specialized tools. This system enhances protection against vibration and cavitation, ensuring the longevity of your pumping solution.
With features like pump jacketing, flush systems, and various mechanical seal options, Certa pumps can be adapted to meet specific operational requirements.
