MKP-Bio
Metallic Magnetic Drive Pump for
Sterile Processes

The sealless MKP-Bio magnetic drive pump has been engin­
eered for sterile fluid handling in the pharmaceutical, bio­
technology and food industries. Designed to EHEDG recommendations, the MKP-Bio complies fully with DIN EN 12462
and 3-A Sanitary Standards.
As the pump has no shaft seal, microorganisms cannot penetrate into its interior. Torque is transmitted by an inverted
magnetic drive coupling. With its special design, the pump
also does not require a plain bearing carrier. The pumped
fluid provides optimum lubrication and cooling of the single,
centrally located impeller bearing assembly, ensuring excellent running characteristics.
The pump impeller rotates stably about a stationary axis on
the gyroscopic principle, maintaining a perfect hydraulic
b
­ alance. This minimises bearing loads, increasing the reliability of operation.
Compact in design, the MKP-Bio has no dead areas and is
easy to heat. Its interior is constructed with just a few, robust
components. For process validation, the impeller can be
r
­ emoved without the use of tools. Mounted vertically,
the MKP-Bio is fully self-draining through the suction port
without needing additional flush, drain or vent connections.
The ports are suitable for CIP and SIP All wetted materials
.
are FDA certified. A wide array of options is available for the
­
MKP-Bio.
