What Are Sanitary Pumps?
Sanitary pumps are designed to safely move fluids in applications requiring strict hygiene standards, such as food, beverage, and pharmaceutical processing. These pumps must:
- Use FDA- or 3A-compliant materials like 316L stainless steel
- Be fully drainable, CIP/SIP compatible, and easy to clean
- Minimize product entrapment and microbial risk
- Withstand high-pressure washdowns, steam, and cleaning agents
Ampco offers both centrifugal and positive displacement sanitary pump types, giving customers flexible options for high flow, high viscosity, or shear-sensitive fluids.
