Discover how the QBY air operated diaphragm pump handles food grade transfer of peanut butter, chocolate, jam, syrup, and dairy. Low shear, self priming, and FDA compliant options available.
The QBY air operated diaphragm pump is widely used in the food and beverage industry for handling a variety of viscous and delicate products. It can pump peanut butter, pickles, mashed potatoes, sausages, jams, apple puree, chocolate, syrups, honey, dairy products, beer wort, yeast slurry, molasses, and many other food ingredients. The pump’s low shear action ensures that the texture and consistency of shear-sensitive foods remain intact during transfer.
Because the QBY pneumatic diaphragm pump operates on compressed air rather than electricity, it eliminates the risk of overheating or burning sensitive food products. The pump can run dry without damage, which is useful when emptying tanks or transferring the last remnants of a batch. Its self-priming capability allows it to lift product from drums, vats, or floor-level containers without additional equipment. The pump also handles entrained solids and particulates commonly found in fruit pulps, preserves, and processed meat mixtures.
For food-grade applications, the AODD pump is available with stainless steel wetted parts and FDA-compliant diaphragm materials. The simple design with no mechanical seals means there are no dead zones where bacteria can accumulate, making it easier to clean and sanitize between batches. The pump can be disassembled quickly for thorough cleaning, and all food-contact surfaces can be polished to a hygienic finish. Flow rate can be precisely controlled to match filling or packaging line speeds.
