Food Grade 3/4" Pumps

Food Grade 3/4" Pumps

Food Grade 3/4" Pumps are a specialized category of sanitary pumps designed for the safe and efficient transfer of edible liquids, viscous ingredients, and food products within beverage, dairy, and food processing facilities. Characterized by 3/4-inch sanitary fittings (such as Tri-Clamp or bevel seat), these pumps are constructed with FDA-approved and 3-A Dairy Standard compliant wetted materials—typically 316L stainless steel with polished finishes or specially certified thermoplastics. Their design prioritizes hygienic principles with crevice-free interiors, easy-clean (CIP/SIP) capability, and seals compatible with food contact, preventing product contamination and bacterial harborage.

These pumps are essential for critical tasks such as transferring syrups, juices, concentrates, dairy products, sauces, and edible oils in batching, mixing, and filling operations. Common pump types in this category include positive displacement rotary lobe, centrifugal, and air-operated diaphragm designs, all chosen for their gentle handling of shear-sensitive products. The 3/4" size offers an ideal balance between flow capacity for medium-duty lines and the precise control needed for recipe accuracy, making these pumps a cornerstone of reliable, compliant, and efficient food and beverage production.
