PACKO

The Packo pump series consists of stainless steel centrifugal, lobe, and twin-screw pumps for hygienic and industrial applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and other general industries. These pumps are manufactured to order and tested in our factory in Diksmuide, Belgium. Packo pumps are among the best in the world for hygiene and cleanability.

Packo is the expert in hygienic stainless steel pumps.
Since 1975, Packo has been designing and manufacturing stainless steel pumps for various industries. The first pumps developed were designed for the dairy industry, where hygiene and cleanability are essential requirements. This laid the foundation for the use of stainless steel and the application of standard electrochemical surface treatment (electropolishing). These two factors are still what set Packo apart today. In 2020, rotary lobe, circumferential piston, and twin-screw pumps were added to the wide range of centrifugal pumps.

Since 2015, Packo has been part of the Verder Group. Hygienic products are manufactured in the factory in Belgium, with approximately 15,000 pumps produced annually. There is also an electropolishing department. The Belgian production facility employs over 130 people and has produced a total of 350,000 pumps.

How Do Hygienic Pumps Work?

Hygienic pumps operate by completely draining the fluid thanks to their smooth and dead-space-free designs. The risk of contamination is reduced with open impellers and cavity-free seals. Thus, the fluid is transferred efficiently in a hygienic manner.

Packo Pump Types

Hygienic Centrifugal Pumps

Verder's hygienic pumps are innovative products that offer solutions to the challenges in the hygiene market. The Packo centrifugal pump series can meet the high requirements of EHEDG and 3A certifications. These pumps offer superior performance in terms of hygienic cleanability, reliability, and ease of use.

All Packo centrifugal pumps are configured to order, offering a wide range of pump configurations. Standard pumps are widely used in demanding applications such as the dairy, food and beverage, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. In addition, they provide excellent compatibility in industrial applications requiring high corrosion resistance, such as mining, chemical, and wastewater.

Packo Lobe Pumps

Packo's rotary lobe and circumferential piston pump series are high-end designs incorporating the latest technology. The pumps can be equipped with various features and rotors to adapt to almost all hygienic pumping tasks. They can be customized to your process needs to ensure optimum functionality and performance.

Packo Twin Screw Pumps

The Packo twin-screw pump series combines all the advantages of rotary lobe pumps and centrifugal pumps. This pump series, which offers these two functions together, is an excellent choice not only for pumping high-viscosity liquids but also for pumping low-viscosity liquids used for CIP cleaning. The pumps provide a pulsation-free flow that allows for gentle operation.

Jabsco

In May 2021, Verder acquired Jabsco lobe pumps from Xylem, expanding Verder Liquids' product range in the hygienic pump market. Jabsco is a well-known brand with an established and strong customer base in the market. The addition of the Jabsco lobe pump product line further strengthens Verder's position as a hygienic pump expert.

All Jabsco lobe pumps can now be purchased under the Packo brand by the Verder organization. All other Jabsco product lines and technologies remain within Xylem, serving various industrial sectors.

What is a Hygienic Pump?

In industrial production, there are specific purity and hygiene standards set for each process.
However, especially in the food industry and pharmaceutical production, much stricter rules apply to prevent contamination of these products.
Therefore, special hygienic machines and systems are used in both sectors.
Hygienic pumps, especially those that come into direct contact with products, are of critical importance.

Hygienic Pumps

To meet the special requirements of the food and pharmaceutical industries, hygienic pumps have certain design details that distinguish them from other types of pumps. These pumps focus specifically on the following features:

  • Cleanability
  • Cavity-free structure
  • Absence of dead space
  • Vertical model (for multi-stage pumps)

To ensure easy cleaning of hygienic pumps, smooth materials and surfaces are used as much as possible and made suitable for regular cleaning with acids and bases.
Cavity-free O-rings supported by metal stoppers are used to prevent cavity formation.
Dead spaces are areas where liquid can accumulate inside the pump and lead to contamination – especially in the impellers or vanes of hygienic centrifugal pumps. Therefore, hygienic centrifugal pumps are equipped with open impellers and vanes.

Multi-stage models are available for hygienic centrifugal pumps that need to carry large quantities of liquid; that is, designs in which several impellers are arranged one after the other are used. Thanks to the vertical structure, these pumps can be completely emptied, which prevents the risk of contamination.

There are also various models among positive displacement pumps (volumetric pumps) that meet hygiene standards. These pumps can be used for low-viscosity liquids, but are especially suitable for high-viscosity liquids. Hygienic positive displacement pumps perform very effectively in filling and mixing systems.

Pump Technologies That Can Be Used for Hygienic Pumps

Various pump technologies can be used to meet the specific requirements of food and pharmaceutical production. When pumping low-viscosity liquids, centrifugal pumps that comply with hygiene standards are often preferred.

Positive displacement pumps are ideal for high-viscosity liquids in particular. Progressive cavity pumps and rotary piston pumps can transport dense liquids such as sauces and pastes gently and under pressure. In addition, hygienic twin-screw pumps are particularly suitable for slippery and pure liquids and can transport even large quantities of high-viscosity liquids. Besides, pump manufacturers also offer alternative technologies such as peristaltic pumps and diaphragm pumps that comply with hygiene standards.

Housings and Certifications for Hygienic Pumps

  • Housings

To prevent deposits and contamination during operation, the environmental components of hygienic pumps must also be suitable for use in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

This particularly affects the drive components: Motors and gearboxes used in the food and pharmaceutical sectors must be equipped with housings made of easy-to-clean and wear-resistant materials that do not contain dead spaces, just like pumps. In addition, these components must be designed to resist aggressive acids and bases. In addition, the housings must be splash-proof to prevent water from entering the interior.

  • Certifications Guaranteeing the Suitability of Hygienic Pumps

To prove that a pump is suitable for hygienic use in the food industry or for sensitive drug production, companies should prefer hygienic pumps that have been tested by organizations such as EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group) or 3A Sanitary Standards.

In the USA, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) sets certain standards, while in Europe, GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) regulations must be taken into account, depending on the sector. In addition, some large corporate groups may also set their own corporate hygiene standards.

Hygiene controls carried out by independent organizations primarily evaluate factors such as surface quality, material selection, design, and documentation. Hygienic pumps that successfully pass these audits are entitled to receive a certificate of conformity.

For this reason, we recommend that you contact us for your specific liquid and the most suitable pump selection.
