Open Pin Joint
The hygiene-compliant design of the FAS/FDC food and hygienic pump from ROTOMAC is compliant with international sanitary standards. It can be cleaned without leaving any residues using CIP and SIP methods, and therefore meets the strictest requirements for hygienic cleanliness. Attributed to the special design of the corrosion and wear-resistant joints, maintenance work can be performed quickly and without special tools.

ROTOMAC™ FAS / FDC Pump
Part of the ROTOMAC food & hygienic range, the FAS/FDC is built around the open pin joint — a simple, proven design in corrosion and wear-resistant materials that strips down fast. Where a plant needs frequent product changeovers and short cleaning windows, that simplicity is the whole point.
Optimised construction, hygienic components and hygienic mechanical seals mean the pump complies with international standards including EHEDG, FDA and 3-A, and cleans down without residue through CIP and SIP routines.
FAS or FDC? Both share the same wet end and the same open pin joint — the difference is the drive. FAS is the bareshaft configuration for engineers specifying their own drive train; FDC is the close coupled configuration for a compact, factory-aligned unit.
Choose Your Drive Arrangement
Same pump, same open pin joint technology — pick the drive configuration that fits your skid layout, maintenance access and installation approach.
Bareshaft Drive Configuration
The pump is supplied without a drive, mounted directly onto the pump body without couplings — leaving the drive arrangement entirely open to specification.
- Free choice of motor, gearbox or belt drive
- Adapts to existing skid layouts and retrofits
- Standard baseplate available for geared motor mounting
Close Coupled Drive Configuration
Pump and drive are supplied as a single factory-aligned assembly, flanged directly together without additional couplings or guards.
- Compact footprint, fewer components to align on site
- Easy dismantling for rotating parts and shaft seals
- Stainless steel drive shrouds available
Details & Configuration
Everything you need to know about the FAS/FDC pump — from core benefits to full technical configuration options.
Meets International Hygiene and Material Standards
EHEDG complies with international standards (ex. FDA and 3-A hygiene and material standards) through optimized construction, components, and hygienic mechanical seals.
Low Pulsing Conveying
Low shear and virtually pulsation-free pumping allow a peaceful transfer of sensitive products, even whole pieces.
Residue-Free Cleaning
They are designed to suit cleaning processes such as Clean in Place (CIP) & Sterilization in Place (SIP).
Service Friendly
Simple & reliable construction facilitates ease of maintenance since no special tools are required for maintenance.
Tailored for Process
Low cleaning costs and reduced production facility downtime due to quick and simple maintenance.
- Discharge Port
- Made of stainless steel, polished inside, glass bead blown outside. Connection as standard to SMS, DIN, Tri Clamp.
- Rotor
- Wear resistant and corrosion-resistant materials. Optionally with hard surface treatment.
- Stator
- In food-grade materials to suit applications as reqd.
- Shaft Sealing
- Available in Gland Packing, Single Mechanical seal as well as Double Mechanical seals.
- Suction Housing
- Made of stainless steel and internally polished with an external satin finish. The optimized pump casing with suction connection above the mechanical seal enables both product flow and CIP solutions to flow through the entire casing. The CIP-connection allows effective draining. Optional: double jackets for heating.
- Drives & Drive Arrangements
- Available in both Bareshaft Drive Configuration — FAS series, as well as Close Coupled Drive Configuration FDC series.
- Geared motors, variable speed drives or frequency controlled motors are offered. Also offered are drive shrouds made of stainless steel.
- Overpressure Protection
- The pressure gauge switches off the pump as soon as a pre-set pressure is exceeded or not reached, and protects the pump from increased wear and tear or piping damage.
- Seal Support Systems
- We offer seal Flush, Quench and Barrier type support systems. Barrier type systems protect the shaft sealing by selectively supplying barrier liquid. Also available with flow meter on request.
