Any information given with a quotation, such as an MDM pump data sheet,
MDM ‘Documents And Name Plates’ sheet, quotation cover letter or e-mail,
will supersede this document, therefore the phrase ‘unless otherwise stated’
should be applied to all parts of this document.
All quoted prices are nett, ex works, VAT extra. Delivery prices quoted to ‘UK mainland’ exclude the Scottish Highlands.
Equipment in Ireland and The Netherlands will only be supported locally if it is ordered through our distributor in the country in question. For this reason, if equipment is required for one of these countries, then a quotation should be obtained from our distributor, not directly from MDM Pumps Ltd.
For quotations involving more than one off pump, prices are based on the assumption that all pumps will be ordered. Carriage and despatch are based on all pumps being delivered in a single consignment.
All wetted metal parts will be stainless steel to AISI 316L (1.4404) except for those in the mechanical seal, which will typically be stainless steel 316. See ‘Metal Parts’ document.
Note that whereas ‘CR’ liquid ring pumps will be manufactured from stainless steel 316L, ‘CA’ liquid ring pumps will be manufactured from stainless steel 316.

The user should assume that seals will not withstand a passivation/degreasing process. Contact MDM Pumps Ltd for advice. Spare/sacrificial seals are not supplied as standard but can be supplied for an extra charge.
Acoustic cowls will be lined with acoustic foam. Details available on request.
Each pump will be fitted with a single internal mechanical seal with bellows (non-pusher design).

*The pump size gives an indication of the size of
pipework for which the pump was designed. For D and GP pumps imperial
measurements (e.g. 1.5”) are used whereas for H and CH pump metric
measurements (e.g. 40) are used. The pump size is the beginning of the pump
model name so, for example, both the 1.5”D6A and 40H260 pump models have been
designed for duty flows typical of 1.5”/40mm pipework.
†BS 4825 : 1991, Part 5 supersedes BS 1864 : 1966.
‡BS EN 1092-1 supersedes BS 4054.
Connection sizes shown are for guideline purposes only. On occasions it may be necessary to supply different connection sizes in order to meet other requirements.
Mating connections are not supplied as standard but can be supplied for an extra charge.
Drains are not supplied as standard but can be supplied for an extra charge. See ‘Options’ document.
‘CR’ liquid ring pumps have a built-in self-priming reservoir as standard. Centrifugal air separator (‘AS’) pumps are not self-priming as standard, but can be manufactured with self-priming reservoirs for an extra charge.

For flooded suction centrifugal pumps and for liquid ring pumps, we guarantee that at the duty flow the pump will deliver a differential head that is:
· Within ±5% of the duty head, if the head is greater than or equal to 28.2m (40 psi of water at 20-22°C);
· Within ±1.4m (±2 psi of water at 20-22°C) of the duty head, if the head is less than 28.2m.
For centrifugal air separator (‘AS’) pumps, we guarantee that at the duty head the pump will deliver a flow that is at least as great as the duty flow.
Tolerances will be shown in the test box on the MDM pump data sheet.
The maximum allowable working pressure will be as indicated in section A of the generic instruction manual. Copies are available on request.
Design Temperature*
Unless otherwise stated, standard pump-and-motor units have a design temperature of 140°C, which means that they will be suitable for steam sterilisation up to 140°C with the pump stationary.
Maximum Allowable Working Temperature*
The upper limit on the maximum allowable working temperature is 95°C for a standard pump-and-motor unit.
*See ‘Upper Temperature Limits’ document.
The maximum size of deformable particles (e.g. lumps of yeast) than can be handled by a centrifugal pump is typically equal to the impeller vane width (except for GP pumps), and the maximum size of non-deformable particles (e.g. hop seeds) is half this. The impeller vane width will be shown on the MDM pump data sheet.
As a guideline, all of our centrifugal pumps can handle deformable particles up to at least 6mm and non-deformable particles up to at least 3mm, unless the vane width on the impeller has been trimmed. (D pump vane widths are occasionally trimmed.)
See the ‘Pumping Of Solids’ document for further information.
Liquid ring pumps are generally not recommended for pumping solids unless the particles are very fine, because of the small clearances between the impeller and pump casing.
Mounting will be ‘standard’ (motor foot only). Motor feet will have bolt holes.
Free-standing bases, cowls or trolleys are not supplied as standard but can be supplied for an extra charge. See ‘Options’ document.
General arrangement drawings are available.
We assume that pumps will be mounted with the pump inlet (suction) and shaft oriented horizontally and with the pump outlet (discharge) oriented vertically, pointing upwards. In this orientation the pump outlet will be on the right-hand side when viewed from the front.
Pumps will be fitted to asynchronous squirrel cage A.C. induction motors of the following specification:
| Zone/Area | Suitable for a safe/non-hazardous area |
| Ingress Protection | IP55 |
| External Finish | Standard (normal paint). Paint will not be FDA-approved*. |
| Internal Finish | Standard (no extra internal tropic-proofing) |
| Supply | Suitable for a 400V±5%, 3 phase, 50Hz supply. These motors can also be used with a 460-480V 60Hz supply. |
| Frame Material | Motors with a 180 frame (e.g. 22kW, 2 poles) or less will typically have an alloy frame. Motors with a 200 frame (e.g. 30kW, 2 poles) or larger will have a cast iron frame. |
| Efficiency Class | EFF2 for 1.1kW and above |
| Thermal Class | Insulation:
Thermal Class F (155°C); Temperature rise: Thermal Class B (80K). Except 9.2kW motors, which will have a temperature rise to Thermal Class F (105K). |
| Vibration Level | N (normal). |
| Bearings | C3, ball bearings, suitable to +140°C. |
| Lubrication | Bearing grease will not be FDA-approved. Bearings will typically be sealed for life. |
| Cooling Method | IC 411 (self-ventilated) = TEFV/TEFC (Totally-Enclosed Fan Ventilated/Cooled). |
| Shaft Length | Standard† |
| Poles | Motors fitted to centrifugal pumps will typically have 2 poles (nominally 2900 rpm). 4-pole (nominally 1450 rpm) and 6-pole motors can also be used on the centrifugal pumps. Motors fitted to liquid ring pumps will always have 4 poles. |
*Even if compliance with ASME BPE 2002 is requested.
†Motors are purchased with standard shafts, which for some H, CH, D and GP pumps are then modified to suit the pump.
Motors will not be fitted with thermistors as standard, but these can be supplied for an extra charge.
Unless you explicitly request a particular motor manufacturer, MDM Pumps Ltd will select whatever manufacturer we believe to be suitable. Our standard offering is typically AEG-Lafert.
Quotations for pump kits (bare-shaft pumps) do not necessarily include the motor adaptor plate. Please enquire if this is not explicitly stated in the quotation.
Pumps will not have lifting lugs. For lifting instructions see page B1 of instruction manual.

- Customisation of documents (e.g. the addition of title blocks or
blank areas) will incur an extra charge.
*Pump kits (bare-shaft pumps) are classified as
components, rather than complete equipment, and therefore will be supplied with
an EC declaration of incorporation.
†In order for a pump to be CE-marked, documentation must be written in the language of the destination country. If translation is
required this will incur an extra charge.
Each pump will be fitted with a standard MDM name plate which will show the MDM logo, pump model (includes motor power), pump serial number, year of manufacture, nett weight and CE mark.
Customised name plates are not included in the quoted price.
All complete pumps will be hydrostatically and performance tested and will be CE-marked.
Pump kits will be hydrostatically tested, but will not be performance tested as standard. Performance testing can be carried out for an extra charge.
Our quality system conforms to BS EN ISO 9001:2000. All pumps comply with the relevant essential health and safety requirements of the European Council Directive 98/37/EEC.
