Watson-Marlow Announces new Certa Compact for Food and Beverage Applications
The introduction of the Certa Compact from Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS) is the latest addition to WMFTS' line of Certa Sine™ pumps for food and beverage applications.
Integrator customers say that one of the key challenges they face is how to maximize space for a food and beverage installation without compromising on the quality of the pump. In response, WMFTS has recently expanded its Certa Sineâ„¢ pump range with an innovative new space-saving model, the Certa Compact. The innovative design of this model enables a 30% footprint reduction compared to the existing Certa Sine pump range while maintaining the integrity of a premium pump and is ideal for applications up to 87 PSI.
The Certa Compact offers the same celebrated product features that customers will be familiar with from the existing Certa Sine pump range but with a more flexible and simplified design that saves valuable assembly time and cost for an integrator during the installation project.
Mid-range lobe pumps are traditionally selected as an economic solution for less demanding applications, but they don't have the same performance benefits of a Sine pump. With the introduction of the Certa Compact a customer can enjoy the superior performance of Sine technology such as gentle handling and powerful suction but with a competitive format that represents the best all round choice for a wide range of applications. Additionally, Certa Sineâ„¢ pumps typically require up to 50% less power than conventional pumps used in viscous fluid handling resulting in energy savings for the end user.
Selecting the best pump technology begins with an analysis of the entire process system including required flow rate and pressure, piping and fluid viscosity. As system and pump experts, WMFTS partners with customers and supports them through the design process. Where customer processes change over time, for example with the need to scale or adapt to a different viscosity of product, WMFTS engineers can advise on the most suitable pump from the Certa Sineâ„¢ range.

Featured Product
PickerPal Products provides full case pick module protection to protect employees from falls.
PickerPal has two independent, spring-loaded arms that are self closing, which is preferred by OSHA. 3 arms are used when a kick plate is required. OSHA states that when an employee is within 4' of the edge, the area changes from a pallet position to a, "walking/working surface," which requires a kick plate or a third arm. The spring-loaded arms open on contact with the loaded skid and close on their own as products are off-loaded. This design provides multiple benefits: • Top arms close as product is removed, creating a safety gate, and the third arm closes when the empty pallet is removed. • Empty pallet positions are no longer a safety hazard. • Each are is easily replaced without removing the entire assembly.
