Viscid Flow Pumps And Systems

Food-Grade Materials:

Made from materials like 316L stainless steel, which are compliant with food hygiene standards and resistant to corrosion. 

Polished Wetted Surfaces:All product contact surfaces are polished to prevent product buildup and facilitate cleaning (CIP and SIP). 

Smooth, Crevice-Free Design:Ensures easy cleaning and minimizes areas where food products can accumulate. 

No Dead Zones:The design prevents settling of the product, ensuring optimal hygiene and product purity. 

Performance Characteristics:

Wide Flow Rate Range:Can handle both low and high flow rates, making them versatile for various food and beverage processes. 

Variable Viscosity Handling:Capable of transferring a wide range of viscosities, including high-viscosity fluids and solid mixtures. 

Low Pulsation:Provide a steady, continuous flow with minimal pulsation, which is important for sensitive products. 

Self-Priming:Can draw fluid from the source without needing external priming. 

Controlled Output:Offer precise flow control, which is crucial for many food processing applications. 

Reversible Pumping Direction:Some models offer reversible pumping, allowing for efficient cleaning and maintenance.

Compact Design: The single, continuous shaft design leads to a smaller overall footprint, making them suitable for space-constrained applications. 

Self-Priming: Many screw pumps are designed to be self-priming, meaning they can draw liquid from a tank or reservoir without needing to be filled with liquid before operation. 

Handles Viscous and Abrasive Fluids: Screw pumps are well-suited for handling a wide range of fluids, including those with high viscosity, solids, or abrasive particles.
 Steady Flow:
Screw pumps provide a steady and continuous flow rate, which is important for many applications. 

High Volumetric Efficiency: They are known for high volumetric efficiency, meaning they can pump a large volume of fluid with minimal losses.
 
Low Pulsation: Screw pumps operate smoothly with low pulsation, which can be beneficial in applications where pulsation is undesirable. 

Cost-Effective: The elimination of couplings and alignment requirements can lead to lower overall costs compared to frame-mounted pumps. 

Easy Maintenance: Some close-coupled screw pumps are designed for easy maintenance, with features like quick seal replacement and easy access to timing gears.
 
High temperature and pressure capabilities Some screw pumps can handle high temperatures and pressures. 

Versatile Applications: They are used in a wide range of industries, including chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing.

Product Description

Our Food Grade Screw Pump (Hygienic Progressive Cavity Pump) is specially designed and manufactured to meet the strict hygiene and safety standards of the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and biotechnology industries.

Built with a sanitary bearing housing design, the pump ensures contamination-free operation and easy maintenance. It is equipped with CIP (Clean-in-Place) capability, enabling effective internal cleaning without dismantling, thereby reducing downtime and ensuring consistent hygiene.

The pump operates on a positive displacement principle, providing a smooth, continuous, and low-pulsation flow, which minimizes shear and protects the quality and structure of sensitive products.

Applications

 

• Dairy products – milk, cream, curd, butter
• Food processing – sauces, syrups, starch, fruit pulp
• Beverage industry – juices, concentrates
• Pharmaceuticals – creams, gels, liquid formulations
• Cosmetics – lotions, shampoos, viscous liquids
• Biotechnology – sterile fluid handling

Key Features

• Hygienic design compliant with food & pharma standards
• CIP (Clean-in-Place) compatible for easy cleaning
• Handles wide viscosity range – thin liquids to thick pastes
• Capable of transferring fluids with solids and large particles
• Low shear pumping – maintains product integrity
• Non-pulsating, steady flow for precise transfer
• Easy maintenance and long service life
• Available in SS 304 / SS 316 construction

We offer food-grade Progressive Cavity Pumps specially designed for handling high-viscosity, non-flowable and semi-solid products such as:

✔ Garlic Paste
✔ Ginger Paste
✔ Tomato Sauce / Ketchup
✔ Chutney / Puree
✔ Mayonnaise / Cream
✔ Other viscous food products

The pump is provided with a wide rectangular throat / hopper for easy feeding of thick materials and a steam jacketed body to maintain product temperature and viscosity during transfer.

This ensures smooth, non-pulsating, low-shear pumping without air entrapment or cavitation, preserving the texture and quality of the product.
