WHAT MAKES A PUMP HYGIENIC OR SANITARY
There are many different levels of "hygienic" or "sanitary" when it comes to pumps. These range from standard pumps that use FDA approved materials, pumps that are constructed to be easy to dis-assemble and cleaned through to pumps with internal designs that make it difficult for bacteria to find surfaces on which to breed. EHEDG and 3-A certification provide assurance that a pump's design is truly hygienic.
Hygienic pump designs concern themselves with three main areas:
- component profiles that have no flat surfaces or crevices.
- Polished surfaces
- Internal designs that allow them to be cleaned in place (CIP).
