Designed with regulatory compliance in pump design in mind, Fristam’s high-quality pumps help businesses achieve efficiency, hygiene, and cost savings. This blog highlights the common challenges in hygienic pumping and how Fristam’s pump compliance ensures superior performance across industries.

7 Pain Points in the Hygienic Pumping Industry

1. Product Contamination Risks

Product contamination risk in food, dairy, cosmetics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, beverages, and brewing is a huge concern for customers, which is inevitable and may cause damage to brand image, various penalties and the recalling of product batches. Moreover, various factors are accountable during the operation for product contamination including failed seals, overheating during pumping, the selection of non-corrosive resistant material, and many pumps having rough surfaces or dead zone spaces in which microorganisms can cluster, so levels of contamination rise.

2. Pump’s Downtime & High Maintenance Expenses

Partial failure in pumps results in downtime, disrupting production timetables and raising the cost. Most of the pumps need to be repaired periodically because of wear and tear and inadequate lubrication, which incurs high maintenance costs. Customers need dependable pumps that have minimal maintenance charges and are capable of long-term operation.

3. Inefficient CIP/SIP Cleaning

Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) and Sterilization-In-Place (SIP) are essential for cleanliness. However, the majority of pumps are not designed for efficient CIP/SIP, leading to residue buildup and poor cleaning. Poor cleaning leads to contamination risk, extended cleaning time, and increased use of cleaning chemicals.

4. Handling of Shear-Sensitive & Viscous Products

Most of customers work into the business of viscous and shear-sensitive products like dairy creams, pharmaceutical gels, and food pastes. Ordinary pumps struggle to move these goods without altering their consistency and damaging of product integrity, which affects quality. customers require pumps that can move these products gently without degrading them.

5. Energy Inefficiency & High Operating Costs

Traditional pumps use a lot of energy, meaning that they cost more to power with electricity. Poor design results in waste power use, with implications both in operational cost and environmental sustainability. Customers need cost-saving, more efficient pumping options to save cost and improve effectiveness.

6. Lack of Versatility in Fluid Handling

Many industries require pumps that can handle different types of fluids, from thin liquids to thick pastes. However, using multiple pumps for different applications increases costs and complicates operations. A single, versatile pump that can handle multiple fluids is a more efficient solution.

7. Industrial Regulatory Compliance

Industries must comply with strict pump regulations and attain regulatory compliance in pump design to avoid legal issues and maintain product safety. Failure to meet industry standards for sanitary pumps can lead to financial losses and bad reputation.
