The food industry places the highest demands on hygiene, process reliability and product quality. Liquids, pastes, and highly viscous media must be conveyed gently and without contamination, while ensuring efficient, low-maintenance operation. NETZSCH Pumps & Systems has the solution for you.
The PERIPRO® hose pump food version was specially developed by the global specialist in handling complex media for demanding applications in food production. We will show you why the hose pump is the ideal solution for hygienic pumping.
How the hose pump food version works
Customised Consulting
Hose pumps are a type of rotary positive displacement pump. The medium to be conveyed is pushed through the hose by external mechanical deformation of the hose. The hose is supported by the pump head housing and clamped by rollers. The rollers rotate on a Rotorrotor,Rotors,rotorsrotor. The rotation causes the clamping point to move along the hose, driving the pumped medium forward. The elasticity of the hose material generates the suction vacuum. Due to their design, peristaltic pumps are insensitive to dry running. The main advantage is that the pumped medium only comes into contact with the inner wall of the hose. This ensures absolutely hygienic pumping without any risk of contamination.
Requirements for pumps in the food industry
Purity, precision and product protection are paramount in food production. The most essential requirements for pumps in the food industry at a glance:
- CIP and SIP capability
- FDA-compliant materials
- Gentle handling of sensitive media
- High energy efficiency
- Low maintenance
- Durability
Your solution for food applications
The PERIPRO® hose pump food version has been specially developed for hygienic pumping in sensitive production environments. Thanks to its innovative design, it offers numerous advantages, making it one of the most efficient solutions in food processing. As the pumped medium only comes into contact with the hose, there is no product contact with moving parts. This ensures absolutely hygienic pumping without any risk of contamination. In addition, the pump operates without backflow, valves or seals, which significantly reduces maintenance costs and minimises downtime. The robust construction ensures a long service life and reliable continuous operation even under demanding conditions. The low-pulsation delivery ensures uniform product flow and precise dosing, particularly important for sensitive or high-quality foods. At the same time, the hygienic design of the food peristaltic pump enables quick, easy cleaning, ideal for CIP or SIP processes.
