Got this Thomsen pump head with baldor washdown motor from an auction, paid 900$. when I got it I quickly noticed how badly it had been maintained. The impeller shaft key was gone and it look as if they ran the pump without a key a while by forcing the machine screw in the key slot. Obviously this caused the impeller to run against the cover wall.
There is some major scratches in there that makes me nervous about using it as a transfer pump for our previous beer.
Looking at the photos I included with this message, what do you think? Should it just be used as a CIP pump? I'm affraid a colony of nasties are waiting to attack!
Thanks!
