Heavy-Duty Pumps for Industrial Processes - The GEA Hilge MAXA range in the GEA Varipump line offers single-stage end-suction centrifugal pumps designed for heavy-duty operation in industrial processes. The major dimensions and characteristics of these pumps correspond to DIN EN 733 and DIN EN 22858.
The GEA Hilge MAXA range is made from deep-drawn, rolled stainless steel in AISI 316L (1.4404). Flexible mounting options are available, such as a close-coupled pump, a close-coupled pump with bearing bracket or a base plate pump version (with motors up to 160 kW). The GEA Hilge MAXA range employs closed impellers with optimized efficiency and NPSH. Flange or thread connections according to ANSI or DIN standards are available.
For some GEA Hilge MAXA pump sizes, an inducer for NPSH improvements is available as an option, also a channel impeller for pumping media with high solids content.
A wide range of shaft seal options is available to suit different media and applications. The mechanical seals used in the GEA Hilge MAXA range conform to DIN 24960. The single inboard seals maintain the optimum position in the liquid. This ensures efficient cleaning, lubrication and cooling.
The highly reliable GEA Hilge MAXA pumps are suitable for:

Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is an innovative way of packaging perishable food, which extends the product’s shelf life. MAP is used to package meat, poultry, fish, salads, whole and cut vegetables and fruits, as well as processed and convenience foods, bakery products and dairy. To improve quality control and reduce waste GEA has developed OxyCheck as a unique, non-invasive system that checks the oxygen content and seal integrity of every single MAP product on the packaging line.
