When buying a waste water pumping system for a commercial kitchen, installers and end users naturally want the best pump for the job at the best price!  

Talking with catering pump experts Pump Technology Ltd is an extremely effective way to find exactly the right system for any installation and to learn all about the benchmark DrainMinor or DrainMajor pumps that they have to offer.  

Historically, the company’s customers often confirm that this is how they almost always find exactly the right product first time. 

Pumps operate successfully within a specified performance envelope. This envelope is relatively narrow, not only in respect of how far or how high the pump can pump, but also considering parameters such as the water temperature and volume of debris which are likely to be present in the so-called waste. 

Factors such as coffee granules, milk skin, elevated waste water temperatures, low inlet levels etc. all make a difference to the correct selection and the resulting trouble-free operation of the pumping system.  

For smaller applications the below-sink DrainMinor 30SL is a compact unit incorporating a Jung Pumpen U3KSL pump. It has a fluid facing, carbon/ceramic, rotating mechanical seal on the motor / impeller shaft, rather than the static lip seal normally found on other small pumps. This means that, unlike with lower spec. pumps, settled or suspended food waste such as coffee granules can’t get forced past the seal.  

This quality construction ensures that no moisture path can be created to the submersible pumps motor windings which would lead to premature failure and the pump tripping. 

For larger installations the DrainMajor 730HES is ideal. This features a cast iron pumping volute and stainless-steel body with class F motor insulation, making it suitable for pumping hot waste water up to 90°C. Importantly, this is not just for a limited time period as stated by other pumps, but rated for continuous operation!   

Designed specifically for applications such as Combi Ovens is the DrainMinor C.

Like all of the Jung pumps fitted by Pump Technology Ltd, it features their very large, low level triangular pump float, externally mounted to the pump body via a rigid float arm. Compared with a tube float on the side of the pump this float is proven not to jam or stick due to food waste debris.  

It is this level of product detail, combined with many years of application knowledge from the Pump Technology Ltd experts, which offers potential customers a technically appropriate and cost-effective solution every time they call.
