Precise injection of additives, colour, and flavour

High precision!

One of the key advantages of gear pumps is their precision. Thanks to the consistent and accurate displacement of liquids, manufacturers can add exact quantities of additives to their products. This is particularly important in the food industry, where even small variations in product composition can affect taste, texture and quality.

Always custom-configured for your process

Gear pumps are specifically configured for your production process and have fewer moving parts, ensuring reliable operation and a long service life. Furthermore, they meet the strict hygiene requirements of the food industry, with options for Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilisation-in-Place (SIP).

Hygiene first

With smooth internal surfaces and minimal dead spaces, gear pumps are easy to clean, ensuring food safety and minimising the risk of contamination.

Accuracy guaranteed

Gear pumps provide consistent and accurate dosing of additives, which is essential for the quality of the end product. They are suitable for a wide range of viscosities, from thin to thicker substances, making them versatile for use in various production applications.

Reliability and efficiency

Thanks to their robustness and self-priming capability, gear pumps are reliable and efficient, with a lower risk of breakdowns and downtime. Furthermore, they comply with the strict guidelines of bodies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which is essential for the production of safe, high-quality food and drink.

Self-priming capability

Gear pumps have good self-priming capability, meaning they can draw in liquids from a lower level, which is useful when processing ingredients from storage tanks or drums.

Complete bespoke dosing systems

Suurmond designs complete dosing systems for the food industry to your specifications, including the use of Tri-clamps and orbitally welded pipework to prevent dead volumes. With our range of gear pumps, we can handle flow rates from 1 µl/h to 2,400 l/min, with a minimum dosing volume of just 0.25 µl!

In short

Gear pumps are not only precise and efficient for dosing and injecting additives in the food industry, but they also meet all requirements for cleaning, sterilisation and regulatory compliance, which is crucial for the production of safe, high-quality food and drink.
