Pumps play in important part in many food processing operations, and it pays to understand the characteristics of the pump types on offer to assess whether they are capable of delivering all the relevant criteria Questions that are frequently asked are: Will the pumping mechanism damage the product? Are they hygienic? Are they time consuming to clean? If the answer to any of these questions is yes and your flow requirements are from minute flows up to 17,500 litres per hour, it is likely that a peristaltic pump from Watson-Marlow Bredel can improve your manufacturing process and save you money

The introduction of hose pumps to an apple pie mixing and food processing plant has made production faster and completely eliminated the need for seals, valves and manual handling of products
Waste clay slurry pumps help cement plant results
Peristaltic pumps were selected to transfer the paste underflow from clay washings thickeners to the cement plant at Buxton Lime Industries (BLI) in Buxton, and have not needed maintenance for 3 years
No other positive displacement pump offers the unique separation of pump and fluid - using only an FDA food quality tube to contain the pumped fluid.
Peristaltic pumps regularly outperform other pump types, such as lobe or diaphragm pumps for example, which rely on their mechanisms, including seals and valves, to work within the product.
The peristaltic ability to sustain volumetric accuracy, irrespective of changes in product viscosity, ensures that consistent dosage of flavouring or ingredients is maintained at all times.
Furthermore, the tube will not clog or block.
Low Shear Transfer: The presentation of finished goods is critical for most food products, and transfer of the product must be made without degrading consistency or appearance.
The low-shear action of a peristaltic pump ensures product visual quality.
Hygienic: For food manufacturers, ensuring that the highest levels of hygiene are maintained is essential.
Watson-Marlow Bredel peristaltic pumps eliminate the risk of bacterial growth and there are no "dead spots".
The tube is fully swept and the suction and delivery orientation enables the pump to self drain.
No other pump is able to meet this level of hygienic performance.
Minimal downtime: There are no valves or ancillary pipework required - and the pump tube can be removed and replaced within minutes - a new tube creates a new pump.
Many pumps and tubing materials are suitable for CIP/SIP regimes.
Prove the many benefits that Watson-Marlow Bredel peristaltic pumps offer food manufacturers with a no risk and no charge, on-site pump trial.
