ArctikBlue® Commercial Refrigeration Condensate Pump — X87-859
The ArctikBlue® is Blue Diamond’s high-performance commercial condensate pump, engineered specifically for dairy cabinets, large-scale refrigeration systems, and fridges prone to biofilm blockages. With its patented Rotary Diaphragm Technology, ultra-low 65mm profile, and thick-gauge stainless steel tray, it outperforms conventional dairy cabinet pumps in every demanding commercial environment.
The ArctikBlue® was the first commercial condensate pump in its class to carry a 3-year warranty, precision-engineered and tested to ISO9001 standards.
Key Features
- Biofilm & slime management — patented valveless Rotary Diaphragm Technology pumps biofilm without clogging, unlike conventional pumps
- Ultra-low profile: 65mm height — slides under low-profile cabinets without boring into the ground
- Thick-gauge stainless steel tray — drawn from a single piece, built for long-term commercial durability
- Dry drain channel — gravity-fed channel directs every drop of condensate directly to the pump inlet, leaving the tray completely dry
- Self-priming rotary diaphragm pump — consistent, powerful flow; ideal for high-lift applications
- Ultra-quiet: 23 dB(A) — low operating volume for commercial environments
- Universal hose — quick, secure connections without complex fittings
- Minimum maintenance — valveless design reduces wear and blockage risk
- 3-year manufacturer warranty — ISO9001 precision-engineered and tested
Applications
- Dairy cabinets and supermarket refrigeration
- Large-scale commercial refrigeration systems up to 50 kW
- Fridges with biofilm blockage challenges
- Any installation requiring discreet, low-profile condensate removal
Discharge Pipe Performance
| Vertical (V) | Horizontal (H) |
|---|---|
| 20m | 0m |
| 15m | 15m |
| 10m | 30m |
| 5m | 45m |
| 0m | 60m |
Note: For every metre not used on vertical head, 3m can be run on the horizontal. Heavy load on the pump will reduce flow rate over greater distances.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the ArctikBlue different from standard dairy cabinet pumps?
The ArctikBlue uses patented Rotary Diaphragm Technology — a valveless design that can pump biofilm and slime without clogging. Standard pumps fail in biofilm-heavy environments; the ArctikBlue is specifically engineered to handle it.
Can the ArctikBlue be installed under low-profile cabinets?
Yes — at just 65mm in height, the ArctikBlue is designed to slide under low-profile refrigeration cabinets without the need to bore into the ground. It must be mounted horizontally and can sit up to 7m from the refrigeration unit.
What is the warranty?
The ArctikBlue® carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty, backed by ISO9001 precision engineering and testing.
Is a swap out kit available?
Yes — the ArctikBlue Swap Out Kit (X87-861) contains a replacement pump and sensor for fast on-site maintenance.
