Product Description
The Sanitary Single Screw Pump is a hygienic positive displacement pump designed for gentle, pulsation-free transfer of viscous, shear-sensitive, and solid-laden media in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Its progressive cavity design ensures constant flow regardless of pressure changes, making it ideal for precise dosing and metering applications.
Constructed in SS304 or SS316L stainless steel with polished internal surfaces and food-grade elastomer stators, this pump meets stringent hygienic requirements. It supports Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilization-in-Place (SIP) procedures, minimizing downtime and ensuring product safety.
Applications
- Food & Beverage: sauces, syrups, juices, fruit pulp, jams, honey, chocolate, cream
- Dairy: milk, yogurt, butter, cheese curd, condensed milk
- Pharmaceutical: syrups, suspensions, ointments, gels, liquid medicines
- Cosmetics: creams, lotions, shampoos, toothpaste
- Brewery & Distillery: wort, yeast, mash, beer concentrates
- Chemical: adhesives, polymers, detergents
Quality Assurance
All Sanitary Single Screw Pumps are manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management system. Each pump undergoes rigorous testing including hydrostatic pressure test, performance test, surface finish verification, and material certification before shipment. We provide comprehensive documentation including test reports, material certificates (3.1), and operation manuals.
