3-A pumps
MDM PUMPS LTD specialises in
tailor-made hygienic 3-A pumps using components machined from solid
stainless steel 316L bar to give smooth, crevice-free internals, fitted
with FDA-approved seals and hygienic connections.
The pumps are built to last, and are
widely sought after by the food, brewery, soft drinks, dairy and
pharmaceutical industries.
The American 3-A Sanitary standards are intended to safeguard public
health. They ensure that dairy, food and other microbially sensitive
products are protected from contamination; that all product contact
surfaces can be cleaned in place or easily dismantled for manual cleaning;
and that all product contact surfaces can be easily inspected to confirm
cleaning effectiveness.
The name 3-A arose from the original 3 Associations who joined forces
to formulate uniform standards for fittings in the 1920s.
