Industrial Liquid Transfer Pumps

A hygienic pump is designed for applications where cleanliness, sanitation, and contamination prevention are essential.

A food-grade pump is a hygienic pump designed for use in food and beverage production where sanitation, contamination control, and consistent product quality are required. In practice, food grade pumps are built to support safe transfer of food-contact liquids and to perform reliably through routine cleaning cycles.

What makes a pump food-grade comes down to the materials, design, and cleaning performance that support hygienic pumps expectations. Common criteria include:

• Food-contact materials
• Cleanability
• Compatibility with 
• Hygienic design that supports contamination control and consistent process results

When you specify pumps food for your application, these factors help ensure the pump supports safe, repeatable production — not just basic liquid transfer.

Not necessarily. While hygienic pumps are engineered for sanitation and contamination prevention, “food-grade” is a specific designation tied to food-contact requirements and the level of compliance expected for food and beverage use. Some hygienic pumps may be suitable for multiple regulated industries, but the exact suitability depends on the pump’s materials, surface finish, and cleaning/validation approach for your specific process.

If you’re unsure whether your application needs food grade pumps, share your product type, operating conditions, and cleaning method — so we can help confirm the right configuration for your compliance needs.

Rotary lobe pumps are used for gentle liquid transfer in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and chemical applications.

Rotary lobe pumps are optimized for product handling and hygiene, while twin screw pumps can often perform both product transfer and CIP duties in a single unit.

Sanitary pumps are commonly used in food processing, beverage production, pharmaceuticals, dairy, cosmetics, and personal care manufacturing.

Yes. Rotary lobe pumps are widely used for low, medium, and high-viscosity products while maintaining gentle product handling.

A Dosing Pump is designed to transfer volumes of liquid with high accuracy for metering, sampling, and controlled process applications. It works by using a repeatable pumping action — such as a timed stroke or controlled displacement — to move a set amount of fluid each cycle. By regulating speed, stroke length, or control signals, the pump maintains consistent flow and helps support stable chemical dosing, batch-to-batch repeatability, and reliable operation in demanding industrial systems.
