Food Grade Pumps

Sanitary NSF Pumps for food processing, beverage production and potable drinking water. These include food grade sanitary pumps for oils, honey, milk, beer potable water, extracts, paste and more. The term sanitary NSF is often confused or mis-used. It means different levels of cleanliness or cleanability to different people. Sometimes referred to as FDA approved or complaint and 3A approved, NSF / ANSI certified. Depending on level needed the prices vary greatly.

Most users of a Food Grade sanitary pump simply need it to be made of Stainless Steel and other non hazardous materials. Some need them to be easy to clean and have "Tri" clamp connections. While the most stringent sanitary pumps with FDA or 3A approval are ones which can easily be taken apart and completely cleaned and sanitized. Some of the potable water pumps are available with a gasoline engine. NSF portable water pumps. Water Suction and discharge hose NSF also available.

NSF/ANSI 61: Drinking Water Components—Health Effects (NSF 61). First published in 1988, NSF 61 established the requirements to control adverse human health effects from potentially dangerous products or materials that may come into contact with drinking water. The words “certified” and “compliant” mean two very different things when relating to NSF 61. Certification is only attained through extensive third-party product testing. Products claiming to be compliant are more than likely making this claim based on their own assessment, which may or may not be valid. Common compliance language includes: “Compliant with NSF 61”, “Tested to the requirements of NSF 61”, or “Meets the requirements of NSF 61”. While striving to meet the standards of NSF 61, only products that have been independently tested and are consistently evaluated can truly claim certification. CSA  NSF/ANSI 61 is one such logo of certification.
