Fristam FP Series Centrifugal Pump

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Fristam FP is a versatile, heavy-duty centrifugal pump built to handle the most challenging sanitary processing applications. As the cornerstone of the Fristam pump line for over 50 years, the FP has proven itself as the go-to choice for critical services requiring a robust, highly efficient pump. The FP provides uncompromising performance and reliability, from viscous and abrasive products to high temperatures and CIP/SIP requirements.

Fristam's commitment to quality is evident in every FP design and construction aspect. The pump features 316L stainless steel housings, covers, and impellers for superior durability. With exceptionally tight internal clearances and an optimized impeller design, the FP maximizes efficiency while being gentle on shear-sensitive products. The heavy-duty build enables the FP to withstand hydraulic shock and cavitation that could damage lesser pumps.
