What Is a Food Pump?

A food pump is a sanitary pump specifically engineered for moving food-grade liquids, semi-solids, and slurries in processing environments. These pumps must meet strict hygiene standards, including CIP (Clean-In-Place) capability, FDA/3A compliance, and resistance to bacterial growth.

Food pumps are commonly made of stainless steel, and their seals, valves, and surfaces are designed to avoid cross-contamination and ensure easy cleaning.

Types of Food Pumps We Supply

At MultiTorque, we offer a wide range of food pumps for different viscosities, flow rates, and textures:

🌀 Rotary Lobe Pumps

Perfect for viscous or chunky materials like creams, pastes, or sauces. Their gentle pumping action protects delicate products while maintaining hygienic flow.

🦾 Progressing Cavity Pumps

Ideal for shear-sensitive and highly viscous products like dough, honey, or mashed vegetables. They provide consistent flow and are excellent for dosing.

💧 Centrifugal Pumps

Used for thin liquids like milk, juice, and water-based products. These are high-speed, high-flow pumps with efficient CIP design.

🤝 Diaphragm Pumps (AODD)

Great for portable, flexible systems handling everything from chocolate to egg mixtures. Air-operated and self-priming.

Key Features of a Quality Food Pump

When choosing a food pump, hygiene is just the beginning. The right pump will also protect product integrity, reduce waste, and minimise downtime.

🧼 Sanitary Design

Smooth surfaces, minimal dead zones, and FDA-compliant elastomers to prevent microbial growth.

🔄 CIP (Clean-in-Place) or SIP (Sterilise-in-Place)

Internal cleaning systems that reduce maintenance time and contamination risk.

🔧 Tool-Free Disassembly

Quick-release clamps and fasteners allow for fast inspection and cleaning.

⚙️ High Viscosity Handling

Ability to handle thick pastes, chunky solids, or emulsified products without clogging or excessive shear.

🧠 Custom Flow Control

Integration with dosing systems, flow sensors, and automation for consistent batching and transfer.

Common Problems with Food Pumps (And How We Fix Them)

• ❌ Pulsation or uneven flow → May indicate clogged valves or incorrect pump type
• 🧯 Seal leakage → Replace gaskets or switch to food-grade mechanical seals
• 🚫 Cavitation or airlocks → Reprime or modify suction design
• 🧱 Product damage → May need a lower-shear pump type (e.g., lobe or cavity)

We don’t just replace parts—we diagnose the root cause and upgrade your system if needed.

How to Select the Right Food Pump

To choose the right food pump, we’ll need:

• 📋 Your product type (viscosity, solids, temperature)
• 💧 Flow rate and pressure
• 🧼 Cleanability or compliance requirements (CIP, SIP, FDA)
• ⚙️ Mounting and piping specs
• 🛠 Desired control and automation level

From there, we can recommend the ideal system—ready for install and backed by expert support.
