Zenith^® Stainless Steel Metering Pumps Cost Savings for Food Additives

Download application story

Food additives can be very expensive. Particularly concentrated additives such as flavorings or vitamin solutions. Over time, even small amounts of waste can add up to costly losses.

Industry Challenge

Do variations in storage tank levels and system pressure fluctuations result in continuously over- and under-dosing? Many factories must continuously overfeed additives to account for under-dosing. Injecting more additive than necessary costs money. Not enough results in a less than desirable product.

Why settle for low accuracy and poor repeatability from your food additive pumps? Are you sure that the amount of additive desired is truly being delivered to the process? Are your current pumps delivering additives to your process in an irregular pulsating manner? If so, Zenith has the solution: positive displacement precision metering pumps. Zenith pumps deliver precise, repeatable and virtually pulseless flow.

The Zenith Solution

Zenith precision gear pumps are constructed of cutlery-grade stainless steel for excellent corrosion and wear resistance. Precision ground and lapped components produce high efficiency and metering accuracy under varying process conditions. Internal design features produce a flow that is smooth and consistent.

Zenith pumps deliver an exact amount of flow eliminating the need for expensive flow meters or other flow control devices.

Zenith pumps are available in a variety of mounting styles tailored to fit your needs. Optional shaft seals, pump materials, and pump designs are available. To ensure quick and effective cleaning without disassembly, flush-in-place features are also available.
