Pumping solutions for the food industry

There is a need to transfer viscous food products such as fruit juices, sauces and syrups in the food and beverage sector.

These fluids require pumping solutions that guarantee the purity and integrity of the product, meet strict hygiene and food safety standards, are resistant to corrosion and suitable for handling viscous fluids or with solid parts in suspension.

Use of Fluimac food pumps

The food sector, especially by virtue of the delicate destination of its products, calls for extremely high standards of quality and safety in fluid handling. Fluimac’s PHOENIX FOOD range is undoubtedly an ideal solution not only for the transfer of fluids, acidic and viscous fluids, and viscous food products such as fruit juices, creams, jams and sauces, but also for fluids with suspended solids, such as diced tomato, soups and sauces containing pieces of meat or vegetables.

Thanks to the FDA compliance of the materials used, such as AISI 316 stainless steel and PTFE, these food pumps guarantee maximum safety for contact with food. In addition, their structure is designed to preserve the integrity of the solids during the transfer process, avoiding crushing or alterations that could compromise the quality of the finished product.

Another aspect that should not be underestimated is compatibility with Cleaning In Place (CIP) processes, essential in the food industry to maintain the required hygiene standards. Fluimac food pumps are designed to be easily sanitised, thus minimising downtime and optimising production efficiency.

All Fluimac solutions adapt to different operational needs thanks to the availability of various construction materials.

Benefits of using fluid-handling solutions for the food sector

The food industry is faced with handling complex fluids, such as dense products or those containing suspended solids, on a daily basis. Using Fluimac pumps, designed specifically for the food industry, brings numerous benefits, especially in terms of efficiency, quality and safety.

With Fluimac, you get:

Versatility

One of the main benefits of Fluimac solutions is versatility. The PHOENIX FOOD range of pumps can handle a wide variety of fluids, from highly viscous liquids such as creams and jams, to those containing solids, without risking physical alterations or contamination. This feature makes them particularly suitable for complex applications where it is essential to preserve the organoleptic quality of the product.

Chemical compatibility

Another strength to consider is the chemical compatibility of the materials used. AISI 316 stainless steel and PTFE guarantee not only compliance with food regulations, but also a long operating life, thus reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

Guaranteed safety

For applications that also require high transfer capacity, Fluimac pumps offer excellent performance without compromising safety or efficiency. Their ability to operate in accordance with the food industry’s strict hygienic standards makes them a strategic investment to improve production processes.

Specialised technical support

Lastly, the specialised technical support provided by Fluimac is an essential added value. The company offers a comprehensive service that includes advice on choosing the most suitable pump, support during installation and maintenance, thus ensuring optimal operational continuity.

Thanks to the PHOENIX FOOD range of food pumps, Fluimac consolidates its position as a key partner for the food industry, offering technologically advanced, reliable and customisable solutions. Attention to detail and commitment to the highest quality standards make these pumps the ideal choice to meet the challenges of fluid handling in the food sector.

Fluimac pumps for the food industry

Fluimac offers a range of pumps designed specifically to meet the challenges of the food and beverage industry.

Phoenix Food

Phoenix Food is a double diaphragm pneumatic pump designed specifically for the food industry. Manufactured from FDA-certified materials, it guarantees maximum safety in contact with food products. The parts in contact with the fluid are made of electropolished AISI 316 steel and PTFE, thus ensuring strength and durability.

Phoenix Food is able to handle fluids with high viscosities and temperatures up to 95°C, while minimising the risk of contamination thanks to its airtight design. It provides dry operation without damaging the pumping system, is self-priming with dry extraction capacity up to 6 metres and allows the passage of liquids with solid particles.

The Phoenix Food range includes different models with flow rates ranging from 20 to 1050 litres per minute, adapting to different production needs. The fluid connections are TRI-CLAMPS, thus facilitating installation and maintenance.

Opting for Phoenix Food means choosing an efficient, safe and compliant solution, ideal for guaranteeing the quality and integrity of the products being processed.

Helios

Helios peristaltic pumps are a cutting-edge solution for the food industry, ensuring the efficient and safe transfer of sensitive fluids. Their operation is based on the principle of peristalsis, which uses the compression and release of a flexible tube to move the fluid, ensuring delicate and contamination-free pumping.

Designed to operate dry without the need for lubrication, Helios pumps are ideal for handling fluids with high concentrations of suspended solids, while maintaining product integrity. Their simple and sturdy construction minimises maintenance, while offering reliability and durability.

In the food sector, Helios pumps ensure compliance with hygiene standards, thanks to the absence of mechanical seals and the possibility of sterilisation through CIP and SIP cycles. The self-priming capability and reversible operation allow flexible handling of production processes, making them suitable for the transfer of viscous or abrasive products, or ones containing solid particles.

Opting for Helios peristaltic pumps means choosing efficient and safe technology for the handling of fluids in the food sector, guaranteeing the quality and integrity of the products being treated.
