Streamlined solutions for dairy production

In the dairy industry, manufacturers are constantly creating new recipes, new textures that are sometimes extremely fragile and complex to manufacture. Mastering the transfer and treatment of fluids is essential to guarantee the quality of finished products.

PCM pumps and equipment specially designed for dairy products meet the high demands of this sector. Whether for the production of yogurts, fresh cheeses, or dessert creams, the solutions offered by PCM ensure a gentle and precise transfer and pumping, respecting the texture and integrity of the ingredients.

Challenges in dairy production

 

Respect for textures and delicate ingredients

PCM Moineau™ technology is ideal for pumping sensitive fluids such as gummy milk, stirred yogurts, and custards. Our progressive cavity pumps minimize shear, preserving the structure and texture of dairy products.

Food Standards Compliance

PCM pumping solutions comply with strict food contact regulations and meet European and US regulations (EC 1935/2004 and FDA). In addition, our products are designed to meet the constraints of the clean-in-place (CIP) process, thus guaranteeing optimal hygiene.

Process efficiency and sustainability 

With a wide range of positive displacement pumps, PCM offers solutions that optimize  the cost of operation (Life Cycle Cost). Our pumps are designed to be durable, reducing the need for maintenance and replacement of wear parts.

Typical applications in the dairy industry

Fresh dairy products 

Pumping delicate products such as stirred yogurts or fresh cheeses requires state-of-the-art technology to avoid shearing and ensure a homogeneous distribution of ingredients, such as fruit pieces, flavorings, rennet or lactic ferments.

Pasteurization and homogenization

Thanks to its non-pulsating flow, the PCM progressive cavity pumps are ideal for supplying heat exchangers (pasteurizers and sterilizers) and homogenizers, expanders and emulsifiers at constant flow.

Fruit injection into stirred yogurts

Solutions like PCM Dosyfruit™ enable precise injection of fruit on sugar into yoghurts, simple synchronization to the dosing top of the packaging machine and gentle and texture-friendly stirring of the white mass during in-line mixing.

PCM also automatically manages the change of fruit containers with rinsing, sterilization and priming of the supply pipes of the PCM Dosys™ controlled valve feeder.
