What Is a Sanitary Pump?

05/18/2026

In industries such as food processing, dairy, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology, maintaining a clean and hygienic production process is essential. 

A sanitary pump is specially designed to transfer liquids safely while preventing contamination during production.


Sanitary pumps are made from high-quality stainless steel, usually SS304 or SS316L, with smooth internal surfaces that reduce product residue and bacterial growth. These pumps are easy to clean and are commonly used in CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) systems.
