When it comes to sanitary processing, the pump matters. The wrong pump can create flow issues, damage sensitive product, slow down cleaning, increase downtime, or add unnecessary maintenance. The right pump helps keep production moving.
At Stuart W. Johnson & Co.(SWJ) , Alfa Laval is one of the key brands we offer. We are proud to be an Alfa Laval Master Distributor and Authorized Service Center, which means we do more than sell pumps. We help customers select, support, service, and maintain the right equipment for their application.
Alfa Laval offers a wide range of hygienic pumps, including centrifugal pumps and positive displacement pumps such as rotary lobe, circumferential piston, and twin screw pumps.
Basic Alfa Laval Pump Types
Alfa Laval offers a wide range of hygienic pump solutions for sanitary processing applications. Their pump portfolio includes centrifugal pumps and positive displacement pumps, with options designed for product transfer, CIP, gentle handling, higher-viscosity products, and process flexibility.
Centrifugal Pumps
Centrifugal pumps are commonly used for general product transfer, CIP, lower-viscosity products, and other sanitary processing needs. They are often a strong fit when the application requires reliable flow, efficient operation, and hygienic design.
Rotary Lobe Pumps
Rotary lobe pumps are positive displacement pumps used for gentle handling of low, medium, and high-viscosity products. They are often used where product quality, low-shear handling, and cleanability are important.
Circumferential Piston Pumps
Circumferential piston pumps are another positive displacement option for sanitary applications. They are built for durability, reliability, cleanability, and efficient product transfer across a wide range of flow rates and pressures.
Twin Screw Pumps
Twin screw pumps are a flexible option for applications that may require both product transfer and CIP capability. They can handle both low and high-viscosity fluids and are often used when the process needs gentle handling, smooth flow, and flexibility.
Gear Pumps
Gear pumps can be used for lower-volume transfer, dosing, sampling, and filling applications involving clean fluids.
No matter the application, the key is choosing the right pump for the process. Product type, viscosity, flow rate, pressure, temperature, cleaning requirements, suction conditions, and production goals all matter.
At SWJ, Alfa Laval is one of the key brands we offer. As an Alfa Laval Master Distributor and Authorized Service Center, we help customers ask the right questions upfront so the pump fits the application, supports production, and helps reduce downtime.
