FAQs
The FDA states that in order to be food grade, the food contact surfaces of a food transfer 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 so that it remains safe 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 are as a minimum constructed of FDA approved materials for human consumption. Where more stringent approval is required, we also offer food industry 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
Put most simply, a barrel pump, is a pump connected to an immersion tube that sits within the drum with its motor located outside of the container. The pump draws up the fluid through its immersion tube and is then dispensed via a hose or pipe that is connected to its outlet.
If your fluid is delicate and can be altered under force, the Viscopower range is desirable thanks to the low internal velocity of its progressive cavity design. The impeller nature of the F300 and F400 is not suited to shear sensitive liquids.
