Sanitary Transfer Pumps for Hygienic Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Pumps for pharmaceutical manufacturing must support advanced sanitary and cleanliness requirements. These products are also sensitive to shear, temperature and aeration, so they require pumps that deliver gentle, low-agitation transfer without adding heat. PSG Hygienic offers a range of sanitary pump solutions that meet regulatory requirements, provide accurate dosing and protect product integrity.

Our portfolio includes pumps that deliver powerful, reliable performance with precise, low-shear operation. We offer pumps to meet any need in your pharmaceutical manufacturing line, from viscous cough syrup transfer to coating application and ointment handling.

Our expert team can help you find the right pump technology for your product, process and cleaning requirements.

Key Pump Considerations for Pharmaceutical Applications

Pharmaceutical manufacturing is highly regulated and requires pumps that support strict sanitary requirements.

Here are key considerations to keep in mind when selecting the ideal pump for your pharmaceutical production process:

  • Any pumps used in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes must adhere to stringent hygienic regulations. Look for pumps that support CIP/SIP processes. Pump design features like smooth surfaces, crevice-free construction and easy disassembly/reassembly also minimize contamination risks and make it easier to meet the hygienic requirements of pharmaceutical applications.
  • Some pharmaceutical products, like biologics, are incredibly shear-sensitive. These applications require gentle, low-shear pumps that protect product integrity.
  • Pill coating and spray applications require steady, accurate delivery to support uniform coating results. Ensure pumps for these applications offer precise, consistent flow control.
  • Medical ointments and cough syrups require pumps that are strong enough to handle high-viscosity fluids but gentle enough to prevent shear damage to the end product.
  • Some pharmaceutical formulations are sensitive to aeration and temperature fluctuations. For these applications, ensure your pump can deliver low-agitation transfer and that pump operation will not introduce heat into your process.
  • Consistency from batch to batch is essential in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Your pump should support precise, consistent flow control.
  • Regulatory compliance and chemical compatibility are also key concerns for pharmaceutical manufacturing. Ensure that all wetted parts of your pump are compatible with your product and cleaning chemicals, and that all materials meet regulatory requirements. 
  • In high-volume pharmaceutical lines, uptime is key. Look for pumps with simple maintenance requirements, easy cleaning processes and robust construction to ensure equipment longevity and minimize downtime.
  • Now more than ever, energy use and lifecycle costs are also a factor in pump selection. Look for a pump that delivers energy efficiency and a supplier with comprehensive support services, and take purchase price and service life into account to understand the pump’s total cost of ownership.
