Food processing pumps are essential for small-to-large-scale food and beverage production. Effective metering and measuring systems help control dosage, transfer products, decant, and manage treatments, helping food processing companies take their operations to the next level.
Choosing a peristaltic pump food application requires pumps that are hygienic and gentle on products. Also known as tube pumps or hose pumps, peristaltic pumps meet both requirements perfectly.
In these pumps, the product is fully contained within the hose, eliminating any risk of contamination. The pumping action leaves no dead spots where bacteria could accumulate. With only the hose in contact with the product, sterilisation is simple, and tube replacement keeps maintenance costs low.
Peristaltic pumps are perfect for shear-sensitive products, such as pitching yeast in beer brewing, or any application that requires sanitary transfer of food and beverage items. They also allow reversal of flow, so leftover product can be recovered from hoses, reducing waste and saving time.
One of the most important aspects of food manufacturing is sterility. The ability to clean in place (CIP) and sterilise in place (SIP) is essential to meet regulatory hygiene standards and manage production costs.
Since the hose is the only component of the pumping system in contact with the product, the easy-to-sterilise and easy-to-change tube helps keep costs to a minimum.
Verderflex peristaltic hose pumps have no seals or valves to leak. They are robust, reliable, and built for continuous dry running and self-priming, which reduces maintenance costs and minimises downtime on production lines.
Another feature of peristaltic pumps is that they can be used as dosing or metering pumps. They deliver precise measurements with repeatability of ±0.5% and metering accuracy of ±2%, ideal for flavourings, colourings, and other additives.
These pumps aren’t limited to large-scale production. They’re also suitable for smaller applications, such as vending machines. Panel-mounted peristaltic hose pumps are available as OEM products for incorporation into your own equipment.
