Pumps used in the hood industry must be made from hygienic materials like stainless steel 316l for example. All the elastomers – O-rings and gaskets must be from harmless materials that will not interact with the transferred food and beverages.
Food and beverage pumps often have to withstand high temperatures and also to be easily cleaned by CIP or if this is not possible easily to be disassembled.
Process pumps for the food industry must be carefully selected so as not to damage the product being transferred.
