A great example of our food processing pumps in action is at the factory of iconic condiment producer, Beerenberg.
Pump choice in the food and beverage industry requires different considerations than other industrial sectors. Food and beverage production demands pumps that meet today’s rigorous hygiene levels, but are also able to transfer products in a gentle manner.
Peristaltic pumps, also known as tube pumps or hose pumps, fulfil both of these requirements. They are ideal for pumping shear sensitive products, for example, pitching yeast in beer brewing, and due to their design, are perfect for the sanitary pumping required for many food and beverage products.
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.
In a peristaltic pump, the product is fully contained within the hose, so no contamination from the pump is possible. Additionally, the physics of the pumping action guarantee that there are no dead spots within the tube where bacteria or other contaminants could accumulate. 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. The Verderflex peristaltic hose pumps have no seals or valves that can leak, they are robust, further reducing maintenance costs and reducing downtime on production lines.
Another feature of peristaltic pumps is that they can be used as dosing or metering pumps. They are accurate within repeatability of ±0.5% and metering capabilities of ±2% when used for dosing flavourings, colourings or other additives where precision is required.
A Victorian company used the Ds500 for a dosing application. Read the case study here.
Peristaltic pump use isn’t limited to high volume food/beverage production. They can also be used on a small scale, for example in vending machines. Panel-mounted peristaltic hose pumps are available as OEM products for incorporation into your own equipment.
Peristaltic hose pumps can run dry and are self-priming, features that combine with those discussed above to reduce maintenance cost and downtime.
Global Pumps was established in 1977, after the need for a versatile and customer service oriented pumps supplier in the market was identified. More than 47 years on, the team at Global Pumps continues to grow and develop new ways in which to effectively fulfil this mission statement.
