It covers key pump technologies and features such as stainless steel construction, easy cleaning, gentle product handling, and reliable performance for demanding sanitary processes.
Industries that Require a Sanitary Pump
- Food
- Beverage
- Cosmetic
- Pharmaceutical
Any industry that is producing a product that will come into contact or be consumed by people needs to be handled by a hygienic pump to ensure that it maintains high-quality standards. Why is it important to use a Sanitary Pump rather than a standard industrial pump? Keep reading to find out.
Hygienic Certification
Our range of Sanitary Pumps come with hygienic certification which ensures that the pump has been manufactured to the highest standards. It is important for products being pumped to be handled by a Hygienic Pump if they are intended for consumption or close contact with the body. Our pumps come FDA approved or with EHEDG certification. FDA approved pumps ensure that a product has met certain safety and hygiene standards. EHEDG stands for European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group. EHEDG certification means that food is ‘processed and packaged hygienically using hygienic equipment’.

High Standards for Sanitary Pumps
Our Sanitary Pump portfolio has been developed to meet the highest standards. Pumps are manufactured from Stainless Steel AISI 316L and have a surface finish of 0.8 as standard or 0.5 upon request. This ensures that the internals of the pumps is smooth with no areas for bacteria to grow.
One difference in our portfolio is a Peristaltic Pump. When the product is transferred by this type of pump, it only comes into contact with the hose. We supply hoses that are designed for sanitary and hygienic applications: The NR Food hose is manufactured from Natural Rubber with a CE 1935-2004 certificate and FDA approval. The NBR Food hose is manufactured from Nitrile Buna, again with a CE 1935-2004 certificate and FDA approval.
Maintaining Hygiene
Several of our pumps support CIP or SIP (Clean In Place or Sterilisation In Place). This ensures that the pump can be cleaned efficiently as the pump can be cleaned when the pipework is flushed through, without having to remove the pump from its installation.
