Food and beverage producers jointly represent one of the largest and most important contributors to the local manufacturing sector and the economy, with recent market expansion seen in non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, dairy, snacks, and bakery products.
Despite compounding challenges – from a depressed local economy to climate change impacts, changing consumer demands, and fluctuating export trade policies and volumes amid ongoing global geopolitical uncertainty – the food and beverage industries offer high investment and export potential. To remain profitable and achieve environmentally sustainable production facilities in the face of increasing competition will require innovative solutions to industrial processing operations.
Transforming raw ingredients into consumable food products and ensuring preservation, flavour enhancement, and safety is a challenging game for long-standing market players and new entrants alike. Adopting innovations in pump technology to improve the quality, safety, and variety of processed foods is an often-missed opportunity to stay ahead.
For example, in food manufacturing, offloading is more than just a transfer step – it’s a critical control point where hygiene, efficiency, and product integrity must align. The Verderair HC-PURE hygienic double diaphragm pumps are engineered specifically for this challenge, offering a robust, contamination-free solution for unloading a wide range of food products – from viscous sauces and pie fillings to delicate dairy and bakery ingredients.
Built for demanding offloading environments
Whether you’re unloading soup from totes, transferring jam into processing lines, or handling thick doughs and starches, the Verderair HC-PURE series delivers consistent, clog-free performance. Designed with electropolished stainless steel 316L, these pumps minimise bacterial traps and ensure fast, effective cleaning between batches – ideal for facilities managing multiple SKUs or frequent changeovers.
Why the Verderair HC-PURE is the offloading solution of choice:
- Dry self-priming and run-dry capability for safe, uninterrupted unloading
- Best-in-class cleanability with smooth, crevice-free surfaces
- Tool-free maintenance with quick-release clamps and long-life diaphragms
- Handles particles up to 16 mm, perfect for textured or viscous products
- Stalls against pressure to protect downstream equipment
- Mobile trolley option for flexible deployment across unloading zones
- Low total cost of ownership, reducing downtime and service cost
Designed for food safety and compliance
The Verderair HC-PURE pumps are built to meet the highest hygienic design principles. Their single-piece manifolds with smooth bends eliminate crevices where bacteria can grow, while their overmolded diaphragms and a self-lubricating, oil-free air valve ensure safe operation – even in the event of a diaphragm rupture – making them a trusted choice for producers prioritising safety and compliance.
Tailored for every stage of production
The Verderair HC-PURE hygienic double diaphragm pump is available in two designs: the FD series for hygienic applications at the beginning of the production process, and the SB series for hygienic applications at the final stage of the production process.
From unloading bulk ingredients to transferring finished food products, Verderair HC-PURE pumps offer the hygiene, high-performance, reliability, and ease of use that modern food processors demand.
