A indústria de alimentos e bebidas precisa seguir orientaçõesmuito rígidas e específicas para garantir a qualidade dos produtos que são manuseados, de forma a evitar contaminações. Quando essas regras não são seguidas, a indústria pode sofrer penalidades e ter os seus negócios interrompidos. Por conta dessas especificações, as bombas pneumáticas de diafragma podem ser valiosas aliadas dos processos.
Leaks, downtime, contamination, performance degradation… all of these can have a major negative impact on food and beverage production. Due to the type of product that is transported and handled, this industry ends up facing numerous challenges, such as:
• Need to handle products over a wide temperature range
• Need for routine cleaning/hygiene;
• Prevention of contamination;
• Have equipment that performs loading, unloading and transport;
• Compliance with regulatory bodies.
How can pneumatic diaphragm pumps help?
Because they are highly versatile, pneumatic diaphragm pumps can bring numerous advantages to the beverage and food industry, as we will see below:
· They can run dry without damaging the pump;
· Can pump fluids with solid fragments without damaging the pump or the pumped product;
· Are self-priming;
· Does not cut or fragment the product being pumped;
· Does not need electricity to work;
· Can be grounded to ensure more safety;
· Has an affordable initial purchase price;
· Can be submerged;
· Features a sealless design;
· Does not require sophisticated controls;
· And much more!
As we have seen, pneumatic diaphragm pumps are highly versatile and efficient equipment, capable of transporting different types of fluids and materials efficiently and safely. In the food and beverage industry, these bobbins can keep the operation running at all times, meeting business needs precisely.
How can pumps benefit this industry?
Are compatible with regulatory bodies
Due to the specifications stipulated for handling and transporting beverages and food, it is essential to have a certified pump that guarantees the safety of the products handled.
Has leak detection options
Food and drink must be fully protected from contaminants in order to protect the health of all consumers. For this reason, pneumatic diaphragm pumps are efficient solutions, as they have options that allow you to identify leaks accurately and quickly, as follows:
• Visual Leak Detection: Allows you to check if a diaphragm is ruptured by inspecting the outside of your pump
• Electronic Leak Detection: through remote monitoring, it allows checking the integrity of components and identifying possible leaks;
• Mechanical Leak Detection: with the help of a pneumatic valve that opens if the diaphragm fails, it notifies the customer of an ongoing leak.
