Food & Pharma
Pumps and measurement technology for food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics
Material compatibility
The pump materials require special selection of materials in accordance with FDA CFR and EC 1935/2004 guidelines.
Hygiene
Pumps must be made of food-grade materials, that are easy to clean and disinfect. Low dead space designs and geometries prevent nesting and the accumulation of germs.
Reliability
Pumps must be reliable and durable to ensure smooth operation and avoid unnecessary downtime.
Cleaning and disinfection
Pumps must be easily accessible to allow thorough cleaning and disinfection to prevent germ formation and contamination.
Experience & Service
Lutz has been in the pump business for over 69 years and has comprehensive experience in manufacturing pumps for various industries, including the food industry. These years of experience have enabled Lutz to build a comprehensive service network that includes technical advice, training and after-sales support.
Versatility
Lutz offers a wide range of pumps for the food industry, including drum pumps, centrifugal pumps and eccentric screw pumps. These pumps can be used for various applications, such as pumping liquids, pastes or viscous products.
Quality:
Lutz is well-known for its high quality pumps. All pumps are manufactured in Germany and are subject to strict quality controls to ensure that they meet high standards.
Drum & Container Pump Food
Lutz Pumpen, as a renowned manufacturer of pumps and systems, has developed drum and container pumps especially for the requirements of the food industry, which meet the highest hygienic standards and at the same time allow easy handling and cleaning.
Eccentric Screw Pumps Food
Compared to other types of pumps, eccentric screw pumps offer several advantages: Due to their gentle pumping action, they can pump sensitive products such as foodstuffs, paints and varnishes, but also abrasive and aggressive fluids or those with a high solids content.
Flow Meter for Foodstuffs
The exact recording of the liquid volume ensures the quality of work processes. Therefore, flow measurement must be rational, economical and, above all, practical - in mobile use as well as in stationary operation. Lutz has the right solution for hygienic applications in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries.
Air-operated Diaphragm Pumps Foodstuffs
The application possibilities of the double diaphragm pump are very versatile: Versatile and variable pumps, ideal for corrosive or neutral, aqueous to highly viscous liquids in food production and processing.
System Solutions Food
Complex systems in industry require the highest degree of precision in planning and realisation. Lutz Pumpen offers complete systems and planning services for the realisation of standard applications and special requirements.
In the food industry, it is important to produce high quality products and ensure that they are safe and suitable for consumption. During the production of food, raw materials and finished products come into contact with various objects and materials that must have the appropriate suitability. It is therefore clear that pumps in the food industry must meet a number of requirements Some of these requirements are:
The glass/fork symbol according to regulation (EC) 1935/2004 is a standardised EU-wide symbol indicating that an object is suitable for the contact with food.
The Food and Drug Organisation in the USA certifies materials and substances for the marketing of pharmaceuticals, medical devices or food and the fulfilment of safety and efficacy standards.
The ATEX Directive is a European Directive to ensure the safety of equipment and protective systems used in explosion hazard areas.
The USP is a non-profit organisation that develops and monitors the compliance with standards for pharmaceuticals and medical devices.
