Cream (from Dairy)

Cream is a dairy product that is made by concentrating the fatty part of milk. It is used directly as a food product in different concentrations and also in production of butter, sour cream and other products.

Ketchup

Ketchup (catsup) is produced from tomatoes with the addition of vinegar, sugar, and spices. It is used as a condiment and as a basis for other sauces. 

Ketchup is famously a non-Newtonian, thixotropic (shear-thinning) fluid, thick under static conditions, then when agitated the viscosity is reduced, returning to the viscous state when static again. Its viscosity ranges from up to 50,000 cPs while static to around 5,000 cPs when agitated, with specific gravity about 1.13. It is acidic, with a pH ranging from 3.6 to 3.9. 

Honey

Honey is a sweet, sticky fluid produced by bees and other insects from nectar collected from flowers.  It is used for human food consumption as a sweetener and in some alcoholic products such as mead. 

The typical pH of honey is 3.9, which helps to inhibit microbial growth. The melting point of crystallized honey ranges between 40° and 50°C (104° to 122°F). Specific gravity is around 1.4, and viscosity ranges from about 1,300 cPs at 40°C (104°F) to 14,000 cPs at 20°C (68°F). 

Glucose

Glucose is a simple sugar produced by plants and is an abundant source of carbohydrate. It is processed into glucose syrup and used as a sweetener in foods and confectionery products.

Gelatin

Stainless steel hygienic gear pumps are ideal for transferring gelatin due to their exceptional corrosion resistance, durability, and ability to maintain rigorous hygiene standards. Gelatin, often used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries, requires a pump that can handle viscous materials while ensuring that there is no contamination. Stainless steel, known for its non-reactive properties, is perfect for preventing any undesirable reactions with gelatin, ensuring product purity and safety.

Fruit

Fruits pieces are used in a wide variety of food products. Fruits commonly used in food processing include apples, peaches, apricots, berries, grapes, citrus, pineapples, bananas, guavas, mangoes, papayas and passion fruit.  

Fruits and fruit slurries and fillings are used in a wide variety of commercially processed food products, such as baked goods like fruitcakes, tarts, pies, pastries and muffins; confections like chocolates, ice cream, yogurt and cereal bars; jams and jellies; as well as fruit juices and wine. 

Egg Products

Stainless steel positive displacement gear pumps are ideal for transferring egg products due to their excellent sanitary properties and ability to handle viscous fluids gently and efficiently. The use of stainless steel ensures that the pumps are durable, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean, making them perfect for food-grade applications. These pumps provide smooth, pulseless flow, which is crucial for delicate egg products that can be easily damaged by excessive shear or agitation.

Dough

Stainless steel positive displacement pumps are ideal for manufacturing dough due to their superior hygiene, durability, and precision handling capabilities. Stainless steel, known for its corrosion resistance and strength, provides an ideal material for food processing environments where maintaining cleanliness is critical. These pumps work by trapping fixed amounts of dough and forcing it through the system, ensuring consistent flow and pressure, crucial for maintaining the quality and texture of the dough.

Collagen

Hygienic positive displacement pumps are crucial in collagen production due to their beneficial features. They ensure gentle handling to preserve collagen integrity and quality. These pumps provide precise and consistent flow rates, essential for uniform collagen products in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Their sanitary design minimizes contamination risks, keeping collagen products pure and safe. The ease of cleaning, thanks to their design, meets strict hygiene standards.

Cheese

Hygienic positive displacement pumps are ideal for manufacturing cheese for several reasons. Firstly, they are designed to handle delicate and viscous materials, such as cheese curds and whey, without causing damage to the product. This is crucial in cheese manufacturing where the texture and consistency of the product are important. Secondly, these pumps provide gentle handling of products, ensuring that the structural integrity of the ingredients is maintained.
