What is a Hygienic Centrifugal Pump?
A hygienic centrifugal pump is a type of pump used in the food industry to transfer liquids in a hygienic manner. Hygienic centrifugal pumps have the feature of operating under vacuum. Their water cartridge sealed structure prevents the material from freezing between the seal faces, thereby preventing damage to the seal. This structure ensures healthy system efficiency in vacuum tanks. These pumps, often preferred in many dairy factories, are commonly referred to as "stainless steel milk pumps." The most important factor in food pumps, such as corrosion resistance, bacteria non-production, and compatibility with food contact, is the use of stainless materials. Hygienic Stainless Centrifugal Food Pumps produced by MIT have all the necessary features for transferring liquids in the dairy, fruit juice, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage, beer, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.
MIT Hygienic centrifugal pumps are made of 316L quality stainless steel. Thanks to its high thickness, they are long-lasting against corrosion wear. Friction is reduced due to the special design of the cover and fan, eliminating hygienic blind spots where bacteria can adhere. Another advantage provided by its special structure is that the fluid can reach its maximum speed within the pump. Additionally, with its easy disassembly feature, it ensures that control and cleaning applications are completed quickly.
