Product description

Waukesha Universal RF is selected for very viscous and difficult products such as dough, meat emulsions, puddings and cheese that can bridge or cavitate in conventional pumps. It is relevant when product quality, cleanability, uptime and controlled operating conditions directly affect production performance. AxFlow can help assess whether this Waukesha Cherry-Burrell series fits the required duty point, process media and installation environment.

The series is built around Waukesha Cherry-Burrell process technology for rectangular-flange positive displacement pump. The construction is intended to support stable operation, practical maintenance access and correct integration into existing process lines. Selection should consider media behaviour, viscosity, temperature, cleaning method, connection requirements and the required level of service access.

Key selection data include flow up to 150 m³/h, differential pressure up to 34.5 bar, temperature range from -40 °C to 149 °C and viscosity capability up to 1,000,000 cSt. Six models are available with rectangular inlet ports from 38 x 120 mm to 127 x 441 mm for hopper or tank-bottom feed arrangements. These data should be compared with the actual operating window before specification, especially where product sensitivity, particles, viscosity or cleaning validation influence equipment choice.

For maintenance and total cost of ownership, the main value is the combination of process-fit construction, service planning and available AxFlow support. Correct selection helps reduce the risk of unplanned downtime, protects product continuity and gives procurement and engineering teams a clearer basis for spare parts, service and future replacement decisions.

Waukesha Universal RF is intended for very viscous and difficult products such as dough, meat emulsions, puddings and cheese that can bridge or cavitate in conventional pumps. It is based on Waukesha Cherry-Burrell rectangular-flange positive displacement pump technology and should be matched to the actual process duty. AxFlow can support selection and availability checks for the required application.
Waukesha Universal RF should be selected by checking the duty point, media behaviour, temperature, cleaning method, connections and any series-specific operating limits. Key selection data include flow up to 150 m³/h, differential pressure up to 34.5 bar, temperature range from -40 °C to 149 °C and viscosity capability up to 1,000,000 cSt. AxFlow can help compare the verified data with the required installation conditions.
Rectangular-flange positive displacement pump construction for Waukesha Universal RF supports selection around very viscous and difficult products such as dough, meat emulsions, puddings and cheese that can bridge or cavitate in conventional pumps rather than a generic equipment replacement. Verified selection data for Waukesha Universal RF helps engineering teams compare operating requirements with the documented rectangular-flange positive displacement pump duty before specification. The final configuration should still be checked against the real process conditions.
For Waukesha Universal RF, integration should be checked against the existing piping or equipment layout, connections, process conditions and cleaning or control requirements. The verified rectangular-flange positive displacement pump operating envelope should be compared with the actual duty before replacement or upgrade. AxFlow can support the practical review of configuration and installation requirements.
Yes, AxFlow can support identification of the correct Waukesha Universal RF configuration and discuss service or spare-parts requirements. Maintenance planning should reflect the process criticality, wear parts, seals or service items relevant to this series. Contact AxFlow for availability, product selection and a quote.
