Food and Beverage

Food products such as baked goods, dairy, cereals, and confectionary demand pumps that can meet today’s hygiene standards and are able to handle products safely and with care.

 

The standard of hygiene required in food processing plants is incredibly high; because of this, food companies require high pressure water for cleaning and washdown. Often corrosive CIP (clean in place) liquids such as caustic nitric or peracetic acid are used as part of this process which can often lead to problems with conventional pumps.

The Verdermag mag-drive range of pumps is capable of handling corrosive media and bulk concentrated aggressive cleaning fluids. This advantage is due to total product containment which is an essential requirement for the food and beverage industry.

The food industry also requires accurate and repeatable dosing for its products such as Verder’s range of Verderflex peristaltic tube and hose pumps. Peristaltic tube pumps are perfect for sanitary pumping of many foods and liquids. The gentle pumping action works well with shear sensitive products and products that require sensitive care and handling.

It has been proven to be an excellent dosing pump for both accuracy and repeatability and even has an EHEDG food-grade hose to make it safe to use within the food and beverage industry. In addition to pump dosing, the pump range is suitable for the removal of waste water or effluent due to its ability to handle solids and viscous media within liquids.

For general purpose pumping, including sump drainage the Verder S range of self-priming pumps is ideal. The pumps are able to handle solids and are abrasion resistant.
