What Is a Cold Drink Pump?
A cold drink pump is a sanitary-grade pump engineered to handle chilled beverages like soft drinks, mineral water, iced tea, sports drinks, and fruit juices. These pumps are built with hygienic materials, typically stainless steel, and designed to maintain:
- Temperature control
- Smooth, non-aerated flow
- Bacterial resistance
- CIP (Clean-In-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-In-Place) compatibility
Cold drink pumps must deliver high reliability while maintaining the integrity of the product’s flavour, carbonation, and clarity.
Common Applications for Cold Drink Pumps
Across beverage manufacturing, cold drink pumps are used in:
- 🧊 Carbonated Soft Drinks – Maintaining carbonation levels while minimizing shear
- 🧃 Juices and Concentrates – Smooth handling of pulp or particles without sediment
- 🧴 Bottled Water – Clean, high-speed transfer to bottling lines
- 🍋 Cold Teas & Kombucha – Delicate fluid movement for microbial-sensitive products
- 🥤 Syrup and Flavour Dosing – Precision metering for blended drink lines
- 🍹 Chillers and Mixers – Integrated within closed-loop cooling and mixing systems
Whether your product is still, fizzy, thick, or thin—MultiTorque’s cold drink pumps move it without compromise.
Types of Cold Drink Pumps We Recommend
Different pump technologies suit different beverages and flow requirements. Here’s a breakdown of the top performers:
🌀 Sanitary Centrifugal Pumps
- Ideal for water, sodas, cold teas, and juices
- High flow rate, gentle handling
- Easy to clean and CIP-compatible
- Low-maintenance and energy-efficient
⚙️ Rotary Lobe Pumps
- Excellent for beverages with pulp, seeds, or soft solids
- Minimal shear preserves taste and consistency
- Used for juices, smoothies, and flavour-infused drinks
🦾 Progressing Cavity Pumps
- Designed for thicker fluids or fruit concentrate
- Smooth, pulsation-free delivery
- Great for dosing or transfer of viscous liquids
💨 AODD (Air-Operated Double Diaphragm) Pumps
- Portable, versatile, and suitable for multi-fluid lines
- Can run dry and self-prime
- Common in small-batch or batch-to-batch processes
Each pump we supply is selected based on the viscosity, temperature, solids content, and cleaning requirements of your beverage application.
Key Features of a Quality Cold Drink Pump
When selecting a cold drink pump, the right specs make all the difference:
✅ Stainless Steel (316L) – Resists corrosion and supports food-grade compliance
✅ Food-Grade Elastomers – Suitable for contact with carbonated and acidic beverages
✅ CIP/SIP Compatibility – Clean in place without disassembly
✅ Smooth Internal Geometry – Reduces product hold-up and bacteria risk
✅ Low Shear Design – Maintains carbonation and flavour
✅ Thermal Resistance – Operates efficiently under chilled conditions
At MultiTorque, we assess every system requirement to match you with the most effective pump—built for long service life and full compliance.
