Hygienic Pumps for Meat and Poultry Processing

Pumps for meat and poultry products must support advanced cleanliness requirements. These applications tend to require robust, reliable pumps that are strong enough to handle high-viscosity fluids but gentle enough to avoid damaging the end product. PSG Hygienic offers a range of pumps that meet the requirements for every step of meat and poultry processing.

Our Wilden® Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm (AODD) Pumps and Mouvex® Eccentric Disc Pumps are specifically designed for hygienic applications where cleanability, easy maintenance and dependable performance matter most. Wilden Saniflo™ Hygienic™ Series (HS) pumps feature flap valve options for large solids and a free-draining flow path that enables CIP capability and helps reduce areas where product residue can collect, making them a strong fit for low-acid, pasteurized and protein-based products. Mouvex H-FLO Seal-Less Eccentric Disc Pumps deliver high suction vacuum and high discharge pressure, allowing them to self-prime and fully strip the lines for better product recovery.

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

Selecting the Right Pump for Meat and Poultry Applications

The ideal pump for meat and poultry processing will maximize uptime, support strict sanitary requirements and work well with high-viscosity fluids.

Here are key considerations to keep in mind when selecting the ideal pump for your meat and poultry manufacturing processes:

  • Different parts of your process will require different pump considerations. Poultry and meat transfer does not have a single “one size fits all” transfer technology, so be sure to match the pump to your specific process step as well as your product. 
  • For product transfer, look for a pump that’s powerful enough to handle high-viscosity fluids but gentle enough to avoid damaging the product. 
  • Byproduct recovery and waste handling require robust, powerful pumps that can handle variable flow, a range of viscosities and fluids that contain solids. 
  • Meat and poultry processes require strict sanitation and cleanliness. Pump design considerations like smooth surfaces, crevice-free construction and easy disassembly/reassembly make it easier to meet the hygienic requirements of meat applications.
  • Regulatory compliance and chemical compatibility are also essential for meat and poultry transfer applications. Ensure that all wetted parts of your pump are compatible with your product and cleaning chemicals, and that all materials meet food-grade or regulatory requirements.
  • In meat and poultry production, 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.
