Food Pumps for Food Processing
Keeping the country in french fries, vegetables and other foods is no easy task. You worry about product damage, line efficiency and downtime. Things that cost you time and money. And pumps are a big part of that equation. Fortunately, there’s Pioneer Pump. Our food pumps easily handle tough food processing requirements with the highest levels of efficiency, reliability and quality.
Our comprehensive line includes centrifugal food pumps for food handling, blanching / water service, starch recovery and wastewater.
Improved solids handling for less product damage
Our single port impeller with rounded edges and offset volute improves solids handling capability and reduces damage to delicate foods like fish, fruit and lettuce.
Superior materials for longer life
Heavy-duty ductile iron body construction (with other metallurgies available) and stainless steel impellers ensure a long food pump life.
Extreme performance with low NPSHr
Heavy-duty, high-efficiency pumps with large impeller eye areas provide extreme performance and some of the lowest NPSHr in the food pump industry. This reduces the effects of cavitation due to entrained vapor and / or liquid for increased uptime.
Run-dry capability
PosiValve™, our standard indefinite run-dry tungsten vs. silicon carbide mechanical seal with large oil reservoir, eliminates product leakage and spillover. In addition, our designs feature a food-grade barrier oil system or steam quench as standard.
