Bakery and Confection Pumps

Our precision-engineered positive displacement pumps are made to handle a variety of materials and simplify large-scale processing without sacrificing quality.
 

High-quality pumps are vital while working in bakery and confectionary processes. We understand professionals like you need pumping solutions that provide low-shear and consistent throughput to keep the processing line moving. The confectionery industry utilizes highly specialized and temperamental ingredients pumped safely and consistently. Abrasive additives and solid particles are common examples of substances that have a high viscosity and are particularly difficult to process. Selecting high-quality equipment to pump these components is essential. It is also vital to select equipment that complies with FDA regulations and global hygienic process standards, a crucial consideration in the baking and confectionery industries.

Our engineers work with bakery, snack food, chocolate, candy and confection aficionados to create hygienic pump system solutions for enhanced reliability, high performance and easy maintenance. The biggest challenge with chocolate is the abrasive nature of chocolate due to its sugar content. Chocolate tends to damage seals, so using a seal-free pump (AODD pump technology) is a good option – especially when the pumps are equipped with Santoprene diaphragms that are resistant to abrasion and have excellent heat deflection capabilities.

With hardened stainless-steel rotor options designed to handle abrasive and acidic applications, our lobe pumps have high clearance options to reduce shear, which allows for improved protection against over pressurization. Our pumps typically provide 5-35% more flow than other pump brands, allowing us to run slower for significantly improved life expectancies, reducing downtime and increasing your return on investment.
