Sanitary Pumps for Dairy Processing

From raw milk reception to cultured product, cheese and whey — gentle, hygienic transfer that protects texture and cultures, cleans in place, and meets 3-A and EHEDG. We match the pump to each stage of your line.

Dairy is one of the most demanding hygienic duties there is. Product is shear-sensitive and often viscous, lines run hot and cold, cultures and textures must survive transfer intact, and every wetted part has to clean in place to a documented standard. The wrong pump bruises yogurt, breaks an emulsion or harbours bacteria in a dead leg. Below we map the right hygienic pump to each stage of a typical dairy line — all supplier-neutral, sized to your duty point.

FAQ

Dairy pump questions

Which pump is best for yogurt and cultured dairy?
A rotary lobe or sine pump. Both are positive-displacement and low-shear, so they move set yogurt and cultured product without breaking texture, de-aerating or destroying the gel structure. The right choice depends on viscosity and how delicate the product is.
Can I use one pump for both product transfer and CIP?
Often yes — a twin-screw pump is designed to handle gentle product transfer and high-velocity CIP in a single unit, which reduces installed pumps and dead legs. Otherwise a centrifugal pump commonly handles CIP circulation alongside a PD pump for product.
What standards do dairy pumps need to meet?
For most dairy lines, 3-A sanitary design and/or EHEDG hygienic design with FDA-compliant materials, in 316L electropolished to Ra ≤ 0.8 µm. See our hygienic standards guide for which applies to your market.
How do you protect fat and cream structure during transfer?
By keeping shear and speed low: large-cavity positive-displacement pumps (lobe, sine) move cream gently, while correct sizing avoids excessive rpm and cavitation that would churn or damage the fat phase.
How fast can you size a dairy pump?
Send your duty point — flow, pressure, fluid, viscosity and temperature — and we return a sized, supplier-neutral selection and budgetary quote within one business day.
