Pumps and measurement technology for food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics

Quality, standards, requirements

In the food industry, it is important to produce high-quality products and ensure that they are safe and suitable for consumption. In the production of food, raw materials and finished products come into contact with various objects and materials that must be suitable. It is therefore clear that pumps in the food industry must fulfil a number of requirements. Some of these requirements are

icon_foerderleistung.svg

Reliability

Pumps must be reliable and durable to ensure smooth operation and avoid unnecessary downtime.

icon_verunreinigung.svg

Material compatibility

The pump materials require special selection of materials in accordance with FDA CFR and EC 1935/2004 guidelines.

icon_hygiene.svg

Hygiene

Pumps must be made of food-grade materials, that are easy to clean and disinfect. Low dead space designs and geometries prevent nesting and the accumulation of germs.
