FAQs
The FDA states that in order to be food grade, the food contact surfaces of a hygienic pump need to be smooth, free of cracks and crevices, non-absorbent, cleanable, non-toxic and corrosion resistant to ensure that no food or bacteria can harbour and contaminate the product.
Clean in Place (CIP) is the ability for a pump to be easily taken apart, cleaned and sterilised without having to remove it entirely from the installation. This is of high importance for food processing pumps and those used in pharmaceutical industries where the product is to be used for human consumption.
Food grade pumps are constructed of materials that the FDA states are safe for human consumption. This is usually sufficient, however we also supply 3A and EHEDG models where the actual pump design has been reviewed and certified as meeting hygiene standards safe for use as a food industry pump.
All products that we offer for food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals are as a minimum constructed of FDA approved materials for human consumption. Where more stringent approval is required, we also offer pumps certified to 3A and EHEDG.
If you have a 1000 litre IBC you will require a 1200mm tube, a 205 litre drum requires a 1000mm and if you have a smaller container 700mm and shorter tubes are available. For larger containers we can offer longer tube sets on specification
If you are pumping one liquid or very similar liquids, you can use the F314 or F424 seal-less models, if you are pumping multiple diferent liquids or where cross contamination is not desirable use the F310 or F430 drum pumps.
The F425 model is capable of emptying 99.98% of a container's contents. This drum pump is generally selected when the liquid is particularly valuable to minimise waste.
