Food Processing Pumps for Safe & Gentle Product Transfer
Pumps are essential for moving ingredients, managing fluid transfer, and maintaining hygienic standards in food and beverage production. Products are often viscous, shear sensitive, and require contamination-free handling.
Key Considerations
Pumps used in food processing must prioritise hygiene, product integrity, and gentle handling of delicate materials. Key considerations include food-grade materials, ease of cleaning, and resistance to corrosion and wear. Choosing the right pump ensures compliance, product quality, and efficient, trouble-free operation.
Hygienic Design & Food Safety
Pumps must be free from contamination risks. Hose material, lubrication, and pump components must meet food safety standards and be easy to clean. H1 registered lubricants ensure compliance.
Product Integrity & Shear Sensitivity
Delicate or viscous products like sauces, dairy, or beverages need gentle handling. Peristaltic and AODD pumps minimise shear stress, preserving texture, consistency, and product quality.
Ease of Cleaning & Maintenance
Quick disassembly, CIP compatibility, and minimal wear parts reduce downtime. Peristaltic pumps simplify maintenance with easy hose replacement, supporting efficient production and hygiene protocols.
Peristaltic Pumps for Food Processing & Manufacturing
Peristaltic pumps are perfect for food processing, where hygiene and gentle handling are key. With no valves or seals, there’s no risk of contamination. The fluid only contacts the hose, making cleaning and maintenance straightforward. Ideal for shear-sensitive, viscous, or particulate-laden products, ensuring product integrity every time.
Ease of Maintenance
With only the hose in contact with the product, maintenance is quick—usually just a hose replacement—minimising downtime and ensuring hygiene.
Fluid Compatibility
Hoses are carefully selected from certified food-grade synthetic rubbers to ensure safe, contamination-free fluid transfer.
Hygienic Use
No seals or valves where bacteria can build up. Hoses are H1 food grade lubricant compatible, ensuring compliance with hygiene standards.
Self-Priming & Dry Running
Enviroflex Peristaltic pumps are self-priming so they can be easily taken offline for cleaning, maintenance or product change-over with little delay for restarting.
Reversible
Ideal for CIP (Clean-in-Place) processes. Flow direction can be reversed with no hardware changes—just a reversible drive.
Shear Sensitive
Peristaltic pumps gently handle delicate products, maintaining consistency, texture, and integrity without damage.
Enviroflex Air Operated Diaphragm Pumps for Food Processing
AODD pumps offer versatile fluid handling in food production. Available in hygienic configurations with food-grade materials, they handle delicate, viscous, or abrasive products safely. Self-priming, dry-running, and easy to maintain, AODD pumps are a practical, cost-effective choice for transferring ingredients, cleaning fluids, or waste streams.
Self-Priming & Dry Running
Quick to restart after cleaning or servicing with no priming required, reducing production downtime.
Ease of Maintenance
Simple, robust design with few moving parts makes servicing quick and cost-effective.
Portability
Lightweight, compact units can be easily moved between production areas as required.
Hygienic Use
Available in stainless steel with food-safe internals, ensuring compliance with hygiene standards.
Gentle handling
AODD pumps are ideal for delicate products like beer and wine, preventing shearing and maintaining product quality.
Explosion Proof
As air-powered units, AODDs are safe to use in environments with flammable vapours, meeting ATEX standards.
