NOVAX 20-B Self-Priming Pump 230V, 0.34 kW

Move hot wort, wine and beer the gentle way. The NOVAX 20-B is a food-grade self-priming pump built for transferring liquids up to 95 °C — perfect for racking beer, wort, must and wine without scorching or aerating them.

Its reversible motor lets you switch flow direction at the flick of a switch, so you can fill or empty a line without re-plumbing. The pump body and star-geometry impeller carry the food-grade NOVAX™ surface treatment, while Viton® seals handle high temperatures for long service life. A built-in carry handle, on/off switch and suction strainer come as standard.

Key features

• Self-priming liquid-ring pump with star-geometry impeller — works even with air bubbles in the suction line

• Reversible flow direction — pump both ways
• Handles liquids up to 95 °C with Viton® seals
• Built-in handle, mains switch and suction filter included

Good to know. The pump body and impeller are made of NOVAX™ alloy (a copper alloy with the NOVAX™ coating, certified for food contact), not stainless steel. Do not run acidic cleaners or sanitizers such as Chemipro CIP, Chemipro SAN or Star San through the pump. Flush it with clean water after every use.
