FDA Compliant Blagdon Pumps
FDA compliant pumps are manufactured in accordance with the CFR Title 21 regulations issued by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These regulations specify the types of pump materials required for these parts that come into contact with pumped liquids. Applications of FDA compliant pumps are usually in the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.
- • They should be capable of moving liquids at highly variable rates from very slow to rapid
- • The pumps must evacuate food ingredients from mixer containers
- • Transfer food ingredients between containers and mixing kettles
- • Repackage fluids from their original holders, mixing kettles or any other stage in the processing procedure
Some examples of fluids under move are:
- • Fruit juice and vegetable concentrates
- • Tomato pastes and other toppings
- • Wines and spirits
- • Oils and vinegars
- • Alcohols, mineral oils, lanolins, glycols, syrups
- • Chocolate, uncooked cakes and pudding mixtures
