A great deal of care and attention is required in the production of dairy products. One of the essential aspects of production is ensuring that cleaning chemicals are transported safely and efficiently within the dairy parlour and the wider milk production process. With Dairy-Tech in Stoneleigh taking place on February 1st, we look at how Drum Pumps are the ideal solution for the Dairy Industry.
Why the dairy industry needs drum pumps
Over the years, the dairy industry has changed significantly, with technological advances leading to increased production and efficiency. Drum pumps are a type of pump that is specifically designed to transfer liquids from drums, barrels, and other containers. They are used in many industries but are particularly well-suited for the dairy industry.
In a dairy parlour, barrels containing bleach, acids and chlorinated liquids are often stored in hard-to-reach areas. Drum pumps offer a cost-effective solution to the farmer and provide a safe application ready when they need it. Easy to assemble and able to offer a high flow through point, drum pumps are durable, fully washable and safe to use in the food industry; qualities highly sought after in the world of dairy production. Our products at ScopeNEXT aid in dispensing dairy chemicals and transferring large amounts of fluid without spillage. Read on to learn more about the drum pumps we provide.
