Hygienic metering in the food industry
Low-pressure dosing pumps now suitable for sensitive food applications
ProMinent's low-pressure metering pumps can now be used in direct contact with foodstuffs. The design and materials used all comply with the European Food Regulation 1935/2004.
As a leading supplier in dosing technology and water treatment, ProMinent attaches great importance to the quality and safety of its products. Pump design in accordance with the strict requirements of the EU Food Regulation 1935/2004 offers customers from the food industry the certainty that the dosing pumps meet the requirements for sensitive use in food-related applications.
The food suitability extends to various pump types, including diaphragm pumps with a metering capacity of 1 ml/h to 1000 l/h, such as the beta , gamma/ X , gamma/ XL and sigma models, as well as peristaltic pumps with a dosing rate of between 10 ml/h and 410 l/h , such as the DULCOFLEX DFXa and DULCOFLEX DFYa models.
Hygienic metering with hygienic design
Particularly notable is the motor driven metering pump sigma Hygienic , designed specifically for hygiene applications. All the pump’s components meet the applicable directives and standards for use in hygienically sensitive production areas, including European food contact machinery regulations. The liquid end’s simple construction and smooth, almost gapless surfaces, which have been optimised in terms of dead space, form the basis for the hygienic design, which enables easy CIP and fast disassembly.
Thanks to this additional option, food manufacturers can safely and hygienically meter media in food-related applications.
