Pump for juice: 10 m³/h, 6 bar

For juice at 10 m³/h and 6 bar about 2.8 kW is needed at the shaft and a 4 kW motor: the density of juice is slightly higher than water, so the power grows.

Frequently asked questions

Why must bar be converted to metres?
The head in metres depends on density: 6 bar is 61 m of water, but fewer metres of a denser juice column.

The calculations are approximate: they help to assess the process and compare options, but do not replace a process design and trials on a specific raw material. This section is for reference only and contains no commercial offers.
