KENNESAW, GA – November 19, 2025 – Too often, the transfer pumps critical to processing and tanker fleets have been vulnerable to damage, costly leaks, and labor-intensive maintenance. To cut these costs, Unibloc^® Hygienic Technologies (UHT, unibloctech.com), a global provider of hygienic positive displacement pumps, has its new Unibloc^® CleanPlus™ line of hygienic pumps for cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and tanker truck applications that require durable, sanitary operations.

The new lobe pumps feature bolt-free rotors that eliminate downtime and pump damage caused by improper tightening. Suitable for both Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Clean-out-of-Place (COP) applications, the pumps slash maintenance times because of a unique easy-to-disassemble design specific to the Unibloc brand.

New pumps use proven technology.

Most features of the new CleanPlus pumps have long been available in other UHT pumps sold throughout the demanding food and beverage industries. Thousands of processors and fleet owners have relied on those features to lower the total cost of ownership for pumps in their facilities. For example, manual cleaning that used to take as long as 2 hours for other pumps takes only 20 minutes with a Unibloc CleanPlus pump, freeing up hard-to-find technicians for other work.

More hygienic than ordinary pumps.

Based on the company’s FoodFirst pump technology proven in applications where cleanliness is critical, the Unibloc CleanPlus lobe pumps offer an exceptionally hygienic design compared to other pumps. Stainless-steel rotors eliminate the chance of plastic wearing into a process and contaminating an entire batch. In addition, pump housings are milled from a single billet of steel to avoid any seams or weld transitions where bacteria or product could hide.

Patented bearing facilitates CIP.

Unlike older pump designs, the new pumps use an easy-to-clean patented FlushCap bearing to stabilize the rotors. This makes the pumps fully compatible with CIP processes that are common in process applications.

QuickStrip^® design enables rapid COP.

Some pumped products are too viscous for CIP and must be disassembled and cleaned manually. Unibloc CleanPlus pumps truly shine in COP processes because Unibloc’s proprietary QuickStrip^® design cuts cleaning times from hours to minutes. The simplified pump design minimizes the number of parts and can be disassembled without tools. What’s more, managers can stock fewer spare parts and spend less time training maintenance crews.

Bolt-free rotors eliminate damage from rotor bolts.

It is not uncommon for the crews who clean and maintain pumps to torque rotor bolts incorrectly. Too tight, they crush the sleeves or deflect the shaft, causing leaks and gouging the housing. Too loose, the rotor bolts can back out, allowing shaft deflection and potentially catastrophic damage. Plant managers and tanker-fleet operators can avoid these issues by using a Unibloc CleanPlus pump, which needs no rotor bolts.

Availability and specifications.

Unibloc CleanPlus lobe pumps are available now with 2-week lead times. They come in port sizes ranging from 1-inch to 8-inch and depending on the model they can pump up to 500 gallons per minute (1900 liters per minute). They may be used with product as hot as 400o F (204o C). To download a high resolution image of the product click here
