The Benefits of Pumps in Sanitation

Within sanitary processing environments, hygiene is essential. Sanitary pumps are designed for consistent, high-volume handling of substances in sterilized industrial processing. Used to preserve production processes, prevent contamination and bacteria, as well as protect the environment of the operation and its workers, pumps for sanitary operations across industries have features that benefit high-purity processing applications.

Sanitary Pump System Features and Functions

Sanitary pumps, also known as hygienic pumps, are used for sanitation in quality-regulated industries. These pump systems feature smooth housings for easy sterilization and exclude dead zones or anchor caps to provide resistance against the build-up of contaminants. Typically prioritizing a diaphragm pump configuration, sanitary processing pumps use reciprocating motion to transfer materials.

Hygienic diaphragm pumps repeatedly compress and decompress flexible membranes to pull substances into the chamber and expel them. Designed to meet standards set by mandating organizations of food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetic products, these pump systems can transfer high- and low-viscosity substances with benefits ensuring product quality.

Advantages of Sanitary Pumps

High-purity pumps feature many benefits for sterile processing and manufacturing. Utilizing a diaphragm pump configuration, the benefits of pumps in sanitation include high-purity regulation and consistent handling advantages, including the following:

• Able to run dry for extended periods without damage
• Self-priming and powered by air, suitable for hazardous environments
• Ideal for processing high-viscosity substances and suspended solids

In addition to operational benefits for sanitation, our hygenic industrial pump replacement parts are made to be compliant with regulatory industry handling and processing standards, including:

• USDA and 3-A Sanitary Standards for 3A Number 18-03 regarding multiple-use rubber and rubber-like materials
• U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Title 21, Paragraph 177.2600 and 177.1550 for rubber and rubber-like material for repeated use or contact with food, and fluorocarbon resins for repeated use or contact with food, dairy, and pharmaceuticals
• U.S. Pharmacopeia Class VI Certification
• ASME-BPE Standards
• ADI – Animal Derived Ingredient Free
• Phthalate free

Hygienic Sanitation Pump System Applications

In highly regulated industries, sanitary pump systems provide adequate substance handling and processing. Hygienic pumps are used across manufacturing operations for food and beverages, dairy products, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, meeting stringent requirements for many high-purity applications, such as:

• Handling partially processed food products
• Purification of liquid substances
• Dosing, mixing, dilution, and filtration
• Bulk transferring and handling capabilities
• Injecting and processing of ingredients
• Tanker loading and unloading
• Packaging products
