AODD Pump for Food & Beverage — Sanitary Transfer & CIP Duty
Food & beverage transfer needs cleanable, gentle, leak-free pumping. Stainless steel AODD pumps with FDA-compliant elastomers and Tri-Clamp connections handle syrups, sauces, dairy, fruit pulp and CIP return lines — with low shear that preserves product quality.
Application Challenges & How AODD Pumps Solve Them
The Challenges
- ✕Product shear damaging texture and flavor
- ✕Hygiene and cleanability requirements
- ✕Viscous and particulate products
- ✕CIP chemical exposure
- ✕Strict material certification (FDA/3-A)
The AODD Answer

FAQ — Food & Beverage
Are AODD pumps food-grade?
With 316L stainless wetted parts, FDA-compliant elastomers and sanitary connections, yes. Confirm certification requirements (FDA, 3-A) for your application with our team.
Can AODD pumps handle viscous food products?
Yes — AODD pumps handle high-viscosity products far better than centrifugal pumps, including syrups, pastes and sauces, with gentle low-shear action.
How do I clean a sanitary AODD pump?
Design for CIP: use Tri-Clamp connections, disassemble the ball-check chambers for manual cleaning, and select elastomers rated for your CIP chemicals and temperatures.
