Hydra-Cell pumps are widely used in the food industry because of their seal-less design and ability to handle particulates, corrosives, caustics, hot liquids and abrasives. Pumps reliant on dynamic seals are intrinsically vulnerable to abrasive liquids such as chocolate and sugar solutions and many flavourings. Seal-less design enables Hydra-Cell to perform reliably with all these liquids in spray coating and other applications.

Hydra-Cell’s very low shear pumping action safeguards the integrity of shear-sensitive oils and other vulnerable ingredients.

Common applications of the pumps in food processing include spray drying systems, coating, transfer of process liquids, mixing and dosing. The pumps are available with tri-clamp hygienic connections and with internal parts polished to a mirror finish surface, 0.4 Ra.

High pressure cleaning is another major application of the pumps in the food industry. Their design makes them ideal for pumping (hot or cold) cleaning and sterilising agents in C.I.P S.I.P. systems and high pressure wash systems for road tankers and storage tanks. In centralised cleaning systems serving independently operating hand-held washdown guns they offer a unique combination of controllability, fast response, sustained performance and low energy usage.
