The food and beverage industry needs to follow very strict and specific guidelines to guarantee the quality of the products that are handled, in order to avoid contamination. When these rules are not followed, the industry can suffer penalties and have its business interrupted. Due to these specifications, pneumatic diaphragm pumps can be valuable process allies.

Leaks, inactivity, contamination, decreased performance… all of this 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/sanitization;
• Prevention of contamination;
• Have equipment that performs loading, unloading and transportation;
• In 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 bomba;
· They can pump fluids with solid fragments without damaging the pump or the pumped product;
· They are self -science;
· Does not cut or fragment the product being pumped;
· Does not require electricity to operate;
· Can be grounded to ensure greater safety;
· Has an affordable initial purchase price;
· Can be submerged;
· It has a sealless design;
· No need for 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 beverage and food industry, these bobmas can keep the operation always running, meeting business needs with precision.

How can pumps benefit this industry?

Are compatible with regulatory bodies

Due to the specifications stipulated for the handling and transport of drinks and food, it is essential to have a certified pump that guarantees the safety of the products handled.

Features leak detection options

Food and beverages must be fully protected from contaminating agents in order to protect the health of all consumers. For this reason, pneumatic diaphragm pumps are efficient solutions, as they have options that allow leaks to be identified accurately and quickly in the following way:

• Visual Leak Detection: Allows you to check if a diaphragm is ruptured by inspecting the exterior 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 a leak in progress.
