The sanitary pumps used in food and beverage and pharmaceutical processing have special requirements that impact their overall cost. This is because of their critical role in safety and their need to be thoroughly cleaned.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States is currently experiencing a labor shortage impacting both manufacturers and consumers. From products, equipment, and supplies stranded offshore to a shortage of manpower throughout the supply chain, this is a challenging time for manufacturers.

Sanitary pumps are used in nearly every food and beverage processing plant to transport oils, slurries, additives, flavorings, sugars, meats/poultry, and more from hoppers to grinders, mixers, formers and primary packaging lines. These pumps must be properly maintained and serviced to meet food safety standards and ensure productivity and product integrity.
