Food and Beverage Production

The perfect recipe for your success:
Hygienic food pumps and valves from KSB
KSB products for food and beverage production always guarantee the highest quality, compliance with hygiene standards and absolute process reliability.

The food and beverage industry: a sector with exacting requirements

Strict hygiene standards apply in the food and beverage industry. Systems and components must guarantee reliable production with consistent quality at all times. That is why the sector demands quality pumps that ensure excellent process reliability without downtimes – and still deliver energy efficiency. Only in this way can beverage and food manufacturers benefit from the added value of economically efficient processes.

Everything from a single source: KSB is your competent full-range supplier

You stand to benefit from KSB’s status as a full-range supplier for food and beverage production offering both a specialized hygienic products portfolio and products for secondary processes. In addition to pumps and valves for peripheral equipment, KSB can also offer you a wide range of products for hygienic applications.
Whether in brewing processes, in the production of animal feed, baby food, pasta and other foodstuffs or in complex sugar production processes: KSB’s high-performance hygienic food pumps and valves find use in a wide variety of applications. They always guarantee the highest quality and absolute process reliability – while of course meeting necessary hygiene standards. Unplanned downtimes can thus be reduced to a minimum.
In addition, KSB’s high-efficiency pumps achieve outstanding levels of energy efficiency regardless of the application.
At KSB, a special LSA team (life sciences applications) is on hand to help. The team has been trained for the requirements of the food and beverage sector and has broad application know-how.

Gentle handling with no rough edges: KSB products prove convincing with top quality hygienic design

As a full-range supplier, KSB offers pumps and valves for food and beverage production that are optimally matched to the requirements of hygienic process engineering. These products are ideally suited to a wide variety of processes – both in food production and in beverage production.
Beer production is a good example. Here KSB offers the optimum pump for every transport task – in the brewing process itself and in various ancillary and cleaning processes. Breweries use KSB products for water treatment, in the brewhouse, in the fermentation or filtration cellar, in the filling plant and for CIP/SIP routines.
KSB food pumps are manufactured from absolutely hygienic CIP/SAP-compatible materials. They are able to process, pump and dose fluids and highly viscous media such as sugar syrup especially gently. No matter whether pumping, dosing or filling: Designs with very little dead volume guarantee a longer shelf life for the end product and optimize the cleaning process – and thus fulfil a further quality criterion.
Wherever sugar is produced, there is a good chance that Etanorm will be helping out. This KSB pump is tightly integrated into the production process at one of the world’s largest sugar producers. Standardized water pumps from the Eta range and KWP pumps for solids-laden fluids are used both in sugar beet processing and sugar production using sugar cane or starch. Downstream processes then employ hygienic pumps from the Vita family, which also find use in numerous important auxiliary circuits of the various process phases – from juice extraction and purification to thickening and crystallization.
KSB’s expertise is based on 148 years of experience in products for food and beverage production and improvements gained from continuous investment in research and development.
