We specialize in manufacturing a wide range of sanitary-grade stainless steel pumps and valves, specifically designed for the beer, food, dairy, and pharmaceutical industries.
A sanitary pump is a specialized type of equipment designed to meet stringent sanitation standards. It is used to transfer liquids that require high levels of hygiene, such as food products, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. These pumps are engineered to prevent contamination and ensure the purity of the liquids they handle.
Key Characteristics
Hygienic Design: Sanitary pumps feature smooth internal surfaces, minimal crevices, and polished interiors to prevent bacterial growth and facilitate easy cleaning. Many are designed with self-draining features and are compatible with Clean-In-Place (CIP) systems.
Material Selection: The pumps are typically constructed from corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel (e.g., 316L) to ensure durability and non-reactivity with the liquids.
Operation: They work by using various mechanisms such as centrifugal force, positive displacement, or peristaltic action to move fluids.
Common Types
Centrifugal Sanitary Pumps: These use a rotating impeller to create centrifugal force, which moves the fluid. They are suitable for handling low-viscosity liquids and are known for their efficiency and gentle handling of sensitive fluids.
Positive Displacement Pumps: These include plunger pumps and rotor pumps, which move liquids by changing the volume of the pump chamber. They are ideal for high-viscosity fluids and applications requiring precise metering.
Peristaltic Pumps: These pumps use rollers to squeeze a flexible hose, creating a peristaltic motion that moves the fluid. They are leak-free and suitable for handling shear-sensitive fluids.
Diaphragm Pumps: These use a diaphragm’s reciprocating motion to draw in and expel fluid. They are ideal for corrosive liquids and high-viscosity fluids.
Applications
Sanitary pumps are widely used in industries where hygiene is critical:
Food and Beverage: For transferring raw materials, intermediate products, and final products like milk, juice, and sauces.
Pharmaceuticals: For handling sterile fluids, active ingredients, and purified water.
Cosmetics: For processing and transferring ingredients and products.
Laboratories and Research: For transporting solutions, media, and reagents.
