Poultry & Dairy Pumps (Sanitary Transfer, CIP/COP, Additive Dosing)
Hygienic production lives or dies by cleanability, shear control, and uptime. We deploy sanitary centrifugal for CIP and utilities, progressive-cavity for viscous curds and cultured products, sanitary AODD for fragile or solids-laden transfer, and peristaltic/digital metering for flavorings and chemicals. For harsh wash-chemistry, mag-drive keeps fumes contained. Brands: Grundfos, Netzsch, Wilden, Yamada, Graco, Finish Thompson, Iwaki, LMI, Neptune, Emec, Walchem, Flux, J.L. Wingert, Gorman-Rupp, BJM, Goulds, Griswold, ARO.
Best-Fit Pumps for Poultry & Dairy
| Service | Best Pump Type | Recommended Brands | Why It’s Best |
|---|---|---|---|
| CIP/COP supply & return | Sanitary centrifugal (inline / end-suction) | Grundfos (hygienic/CRN/inline); Goulds; Griswold | High efficiency, smooth flow, cleanable designs; easy service |
| Curds, yogurt, viscous dairy | Progressive-cavity (sanitary, VFD) | Netzsch | Low-shear, steady flow protects product texture and inclusions |
| Fragile protein slurries / solids | Sanitary AODD (bolted) | Wilden; Yamada; ARO | Gentle handling, run-dry/dead-head tolerant, portable |
| Flavorings, cultures, enzymes | Peristaltic / Digital diaphragm metering | Graco (hose); LMI PD/TD & KML/KBL; Neptune; Emec; Walchem | Accurate ppm, hose-only wetted path for delicate or off-gassing media |
| Hypo/acid for sanitation rooms | Mag-drive sealless centrifugal (PP/PVDF/ETFE) | Finish Thompson DB/UC; Iwaki MX/MD | No mechanical seal leak path; excellent chemical compatibility |
| Vats, sumps, drains | Submersible / Self-priming | BJM (submersible); Gorman-Rupp (self-priming) | Immersed reliability or above-grade serviceability for washdown areas |
| Drum/IBC ingredient make-up | Drum/IBC pump + validation hardware | Flux; J.L. Wingert (columns, quills) | Fast changeovers; verified injection and sampling for QA |
Compliance: On select models we can support 3-A and EHEDG-style hygienic features. We’ll align elastomers and surface finishes to your URS/HACCP plan.

Tip Send product rheology (viscosity vs. temp), solids %, target GPM/TDH, cleanability requirements, and documentation needs. We’ll return curves and a hygienic BOM.
How We Engineer Hygienic Duty
- Cleanability: drainable orientations, CIP-friendly seals, and polished wetted parts where required.
- Product integrity: low-shear selections and VFD logic to reduce breakup.
- Accuracy: metering kits with back-pressure, anti-siphon, columns and quills.
- Containment: sealless transfer for harsh wash chemistries.
- Serviceability: isolation, drains/vents, and standardized wear kits/hoses.

Poultry & Dairy Pump FAQs
When should I pick progressive-cavity over sanitary centrifugal?
Choose progressive-cavity for viscous, shear-sensitive products (curds, yogurt) or where gentle, steady flow prevents breakup. Centrifugal fits CIP and thin utilities.
Are sanitary AODD pumps gentle enough for solids?
Yes—with modest speeds and proper valve materials, sanitary AODD handles solids and product variability while remaining portable and easy to clean.
How do you protect dosing accuracy?
We package back-pressure valves, anti-siphon checks, calibration columns and injection quills to maintain stable metering and provide validation data.
