Booster Units

A booster unit, also known as a hydrophore pump, is a system that increases the pressure of the mains water for more efficient cleaning. A booster unit is used in industrial environments where higher pressure (between 20 and 100 bar) is needed for optimal cleaning. Booster units are often used in mobile cleaning systems.

How a booster unit works

Once started up, a booster unit will raise your mains water to the correct working pressure, enabling users to start cleaning. When opening/closing one of the supply points, the unit automatically switches on or goes into standby. The booster unit easy to maintain, emits very little noise and has adjustable feet. The intelligent software makes sure the next pump is started up when needed.

A stainless steel break tank gives the installation certified backflow protection. There is also a dirt trap in the supply line, which ensures that the water supply is free of dirt and breakdowns are prevented. In a multi-pump unit, a flow meter makes sure the next pump starts up or shuts down when needed.

A booster unit is a system designed to raise the water pressure for cleaning purposes in industrial environments. The most important purpose of a hydrophore pump is to ensure that there is sufficient water pressure available for effective cleaning, regardless of the size of the cleaning project. A booster unit lets you ensure that you and your colleagues always have sufficient water pressure to clean successfully.

When purchasing an industrial cleaning system, it is crucial to determine how many employees will use it at the same time. This analysis forms the basis for determining the necessary capacity of the booster unit. Do you want to know more about the necessary capacity of your booster unit?

Good hygiene is very important, especially in the food industry. That’s why a booster unit is absolutely ideal for use in the food processing industry. Booster units are used in this industry to increase the water pressure for cleaning machines, conveyor belts and production areas. This ensures that food products can be processed safely and cleanly. When it comes to producing and processing food, you obviously don’t want the water pressure to be a problem for any length of time. Fortunately, a booster unit ensures that the water pressure is always satisfactory. So you can rest assured that you’ll always being able to perform your cleaning tasks.

Where you place your booster unit depends on your specific situation. However, we do recommend that you place the unit in a strategic location. In this way, you’ll ensure that the system works effectively and that the water is always at the right pressure.

Some tips for placing your unit in a strategic location:

Place your unit close to the source of the water supply.
Place the unit in a protected and easily accessible location.
Place your hydrophore pump near a stainless steel break tank (read more about this in our blog about the advantages of a stainless steel break tank).

Booster unit with stainless steel break tank
In many situations, a stainless steel break tank is installed in combination with the booster unit. We recommend you do this to prevent water containing additives used in the cleaning process from flowing back into the mains supply. This tank is usually placed in the vicinity of the booster unit. A stainless steel break tank offers the following advantages:

You prevent water pollution: A break tank prevents contaminated water from flowing back into your water line.
You continue to comply with regulations: A break tank lets you comply with present and future regulations.
You get a stable water supply: A break tank ensures a constant supply of water, essential for efficient industrial cleaning.
It protects your cleaning system: A break tank is a worthwhile investment for minimising the costs and risks associated with contamination and giving you peace of mind.

Difference between a booster unit and a high-pressure pump

In brief, a booster unit is a more versatile and complex system that is used for supplying water generally, while a high-pressure pump is specifically designed to supply water at very high pressure for specific tasks.

A booster unit is:

More complex: this type of installation has several components, such as pumps and tanks.
More flexible: a booster unit lets you adjust the pressure to your desired level.
Integrated: this type of installation forms part of your cleaning network. A high-pressure pump is a standalone unit.

Grundfos pompen (tot 40 bar)

De Grundfos pomp uit de CRIE serie is een frequentiegestuurde centrifugaalpomp die wordt gebruikt bij een drukverhoginginstallatie met een werkdruk van 20 bar. Efficiëntie is het sleutelwoord bij deze pomp. De pomp verbruikt alleen de energie die daadwerkelijk nodig is.

De geïntegreerde frequentieregelaar zorgt ervoor dat het toerental kan variëren en de meest optimale pompprestaties kunnen worden geleverd. De Grundfos pompen zijn onderhoudsvriendelijk, corrosiebestendig, ruimtebesparend en bestand tegen licht agressieve vloeistoffen. Om 40 bar te genereren kunnen er twee pompen in serie worden geschakeld.

Grote voordelen van een Grundfos pomp:

Efficiëntie: De pomp verbruikt alleen de energie die daadwerkelijk nodig is, wat resulteert in kostenbesparingen en een lagere ecologische voetafdruk.
Altijd optimale prestaties: De ingebouwde frequentieregelaar maakt variabele snelheden mogelijk, waardoor de pomp altijd optimale prestaties levert en energie bespaart.
Onderhoudsvriendelijk: Grundfos pompen zijn gemakkelijk te onderhouden, wat de levensduur verlengt en de operationele kosten verlaagt.
