Benefits of Sanitary Pumps
Sanitary centrifugal pumps are the most affordable and commonly used hygienic process pump. They’re ideal for transferring low-viscous fluids—like water, milk, juices, and slurries—in food, dairy, beverage, and other food-grade applications. Common applications include product transfer, metering, tank filling and emptying, and clean-in-place.
Centrifugal pumps contain a motor that’s attached to an axis, which rotates the pump impeller. This rotation moves the fluid from one end of the pump to the other. In addition to transferring fluids safely and efficiently, this pump type features the following benefits:
- Provides high flow rates
- Flexible and smooth operation
- Energy and space efficient
- Dependable performance
- Simple operation
- Easy to maintain
- Corrosion-resistant
- Versatile in size and application
Positive Displacement pumps are commonly used in the food and beverage, dairy, and pharmaceutical industries that involve viscous liquids containing fragile solids. Common applications include product transfer, metering, and tank filling and emptying. These pumps feature two or more lobes that rotate in opposite directions around parallel shafts in the chamber to move a liquid from the suction end to the discharge end. Since the two lobes never come in contact with each other, they allow for gentle operation and minimal product damage.
This pump type comes in various rotor wing options, which allow for flexibility in both performance and product handling. Its benefits include the following:
- Easy to clean
- Energy efficiency
- Continuous operation
- Simple maintenance
Circumferential piston pumps are ideal for applications involving abrasive liquids. They contain a seal between the stators and rotors that protrude from the pump housing. They’re more expensive than rotary lobe pumps but more efficient at low viscosity than both rotary lobe and twin screw pumps. Common applications include product transfer, metering, and tank filling and emptying.
Twin screw pumps are the most expensive pump type but also feature the highest flow rate, which allows for optimal efficiency and output. They are commonly used for food processing, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications and feature a two-spindle design that moves the product in an axial direction. Twin screw pumps have a low pulsation that allows the pump to handle products gently and operate at higher RPMs. They also have the capability to produce multiple duty points when used with a variable-speed drive.
We distribute twin screw pumps that are manufactured by Bornemann—the industry leader in twin screw pump technology. When you purchase from our collection, you can rest assured you’re getting the highest quality product on the market.
