Hygienic Pumps for Food & Drink
Food and drink applications demand gentle handling and the strictest hygiene. Sydex hygienic pumps protect product integrity while meeting the standards the sector requires - from delicate, shear-sensitive products to thick, viscous pastes.
The H range of hygienic progressing cavity pumps gives gentle, contamination-free transfer with FDA-certified elastomer stators, CIP systems and a seal housing designed to remove dead areas - 36 models. For wine production, the mobile WL range transfers grapes, juice, olive oil and food pastes from a trolley-mounted unit. Where positive-displacement performance is needed, the Ampco Hygienic PD Series of rotary lobe and piston pumps handles dairy, cosmetics and very high-viscosity products (to 1,000,000 cP) with 3A-certified, CIP-able options. Compact FM and BE pumps round out the range for agrofood and drum-emptying duties.
The challenge
Food and drink production demands two things at once: gentle handling that protects delicate, shear-sensitive or viscous products, and the strictest standards of hygiene. A pump that bruises product or harbours contamination simply isn't an option.
Sydex specifies hygienic pumps to the exact product and standard. The H range transfers even delicate, viscous products gently, with FDA-certified elastomers, CIP systems and a seal housing designed to remove dead areas; the Ampco PD Series adds 3A-certified, CIP-able rotary lobe and piston pumps for very high viscosities; and material selection plus easy-clean, maintain-in-place design keep lines compliant and productive.
