Industrial Hygienic Pumps

Efficient and compliant conveyance of high-viscosity food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic products

    Safe, maintenance-friendly hygienic pumps

    Hygienic pumps are specially designed for use in industries that require high standards of hygiene including food and beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and biotechnology manufacturing.
    They are constructed from non-toxic, non-contaminating materials and are designed to:

    • Prevent contamination and ensure product purity
    • Have no dead spaces or defects where bacteria can grow
    • Drain freely
    • Allow easy and thorough cleaning or sterilisation in place (CIP/ SIP)

    Prime Fluid Management supplies pumps that are EHEDG and FDA-certified, and are thoughtfully engineered for ease of maintenance and cleaning once installed.

    Wangen Twin Screw

    What is the difference between a slurry pump and a sludge pump?

    A slurry pump is designed to move mixtures of liquid and solid particles where the liquid component helps the material flow. It is built with abrasion and corrosion resistant materials and a robust design to handle the wear from suspended solids.

    A sludge pump is designed to handle much thicker and stickier material known as sludge which has a higher solid content. These pumps often use positive displacement or slow moving mechanisms to avoid clogging and manage dense viscous fluids.
    How do sludge pumps work?
    Sludge pumps move heavy viscous mixtures using either centrifugal or positive displacement methods. Centrifugal sludge pumps use a rotating impeller to generate pressure and move the sludge. Positive displacement sludge pumps, such as progressive cavity, diaphragm, or lobe pumps, trap a fixed volume of sludge and force it through the pump. This method is especially useful for very thick or high-solid-content applications.
    What is the main source of sludge?
    Sludge typically comes from wastewater treatment processes where water is separated from solids through sedimentation or filtration. It is a semi-solid byproduct that can contain organic matter, heavy metals, and other impurities. Sludge can also come from industrial operations such as mining or manufacturing plants, where process residues and waste streams generate similar thick, viscous materials.
