QP1-40 2" Sanitary Positive Displacement Pump
A self-priming 46 GPM pump with the power to move wine, beer, mash, and wort over great distances.
Overview
Leading the middle of the pack (size-wise) is the QP1-40, a 2" pump with plenty of oomph to keep things flowing. It maxes out at about 46 GPM, making it a great “all-rounder” for small-to-mid-sized facilities who want all the benefits of RPD pumps. Namely: they run dry, they self-prime, they are reversible, and their speed can be easily controlled.
A premium efficiency 3 HP motor powers the QP1-40, delivering up to about 46 gallons per minute at up to 60 psi.
As with all QP1 pumps, the QP1-40 is totally dimensionally and parts-interchangeable with the corresponding Waukesha U1 pump heads found in many wineries and breweries. So if you already have a Waukesha 40 pump on-hand, your seal and rebuild kits will work. It does add a few upgrades under the hood in contrast to Waukesha. Most striking is the all-stainless gearbox, a welcome improvement to Waukesha's painted gearbox. The shafts that turn the rotors are made from heavier-duty 17-4PH stainless steel, meaning they're capable of greater longevity at high pressure than Waukesha pumps.
