Key Specifications

  • Flows up to 150 m³/h
  • Pressure up to 34.5 bar

Product features

  • Application-focused construction → Supports reliable selection for the actual process duty instead of generic pump or equipment replacement.
  • Verified operating data → Helps engineering teams check flow, pressure, temperature and cleaning requirements before specification.
  • Service-oriented design → Supports faster inspection and maintenance, reducing the risk of extended production stops.
  • Hygienic or process-specific options → Helps match the series to food, beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical or industrial requirements.
  • AxFlow selection support → Makes it easier to confirm the correct configuration, materials, seals and availability.
  • Proven Waukesha technology → Supports stable product handling in demanding production environments.
  • Cleanability considered in selection → Helps reduce contamination risk and supports consistent process quality.
  • Spare parts and service focus → Supports maintenance planning and lifecycle cost control.
  • Process continuity focus → Helps reduce downtime risk where transfer, heating, cooling or separation is production-critical.
  • Quote-ready product guidance → Gives buyers a clear basis for discussing duty point, options and lead time with AxFlow.

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 used for very viscous and difficult products such as dough, meat emulsions, puddings and cheese that can bridge or cavitate in conventional pumps. It is selected when the process needs a rectangular-flange positive displacement pump with reliable operation and service support. AxFlow can help confirm whether the series fits the duty point.
Check flow, pressure, temperature, viscosity, media behaviour, cleaning method and connection requirements. The relevant operating data must be compared with the real process conditions. AxFlow can support the selection and availability check.
Yes, AxFlow can support product selection, configuration review and availability checks. The final choice should be based on the process duty, media and installation requirements. AxFlow can also discuss service and spare parts support.
The series can be considered for new installations, replacements or process upgrades when the duty point and connections are compatible. Existing layout, cleaning method and control requirements should be checked before selection. AxFlow can help review the practical integration details.
Maintenance planning should consider seals, wear parts, cleaning access and the process criticality of the equipment. Correct configuration helps reduce downtime risk and supports lifecycle cost control. AxFlow can advise on spare parts and service planning.
