Food & Beverages

Food and beverages place high demands on conveying technology: sensitive media, varying viscosities, and hygienic processes. Gentle conveying, precise dosing, and low-residue emptying are required while maintaining consistent product quality. FLUX meets these requirements with hygienic drum pumps, eccentric screw pumps, and drum emptying systems. For food-contact applications, models compliant with EC 1935/2004, FDA, and 3A Sanitary standards are available.

  • Gentle handling of sensitive and viscous fluids
  • Hygienic drum pumps and emptying systems
  • Eccentric screw pumps for highly viscous products
  • Materials for food-grade processes
  • Models compliant with EC 1935/2004 and FDA

Certificates

Appropriate certifications ensure hygiene, compliance, and international usability.
FLUX products are developed and certified for worldwide use; they meet the highest requirements and safety standards. With FLUX, you’re always on the safe side, no matter where you are.

CE Conformity

All products comply with the EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.

EC 1935/2004

Materials that comply with Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 are designed for contact with food. This reduces the risk of contamination in hygienic processes.

FDA

FDA-compliant materials are relevant for many food-contact applications. They support the safe handling of sensitive media and ingredients.

3-A Sanitary Standards

3-A Sanitary Standards stands for hygienic design that is easy to clean. This is particularly important for dairy products, liquid ingredients, and viscous foods.
