Cleaning and sanitizing go hand-in-hand with food processing. For proper food safety, it’s vital that all surfaces coming into contact with any part of the food production process are properly cleaned and thoroughly sanitized regularly.

It’s also critical that non-production equipment like overhead structures, shields, walls, ceilings, refrigeration units and HVAC systems are routinely cleaned and sanitized. High-pressure washing equipment significantly reduces the labor required and cleans more effectively compared to low-pressure alternatives. Equipment dependability is crucial for food process facilities. That’s why our pumps are leading choice for cleaning and sanitizing.

High-pressure central cleaning systems allow a central pump to run multiple guns in various locations of the food process. The central unit needs to produce enough flow to cover peak demand. To improve system efficiency, Cat Pumps has factory-programmed Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) available. A VFD receives feedback from sensors placed in the system and will automatically adjust the system flow based on demand. Our VFD-controlled systems will shut down and start up automatically, so no energy is wasted running the pump if there’s no demand. Energy savings are significant and provide a fast return on investment. In some cases the cost of the VFD can be made up in less than a year.

With field-proven dependability in applications around the globe, Cat Pumps provides the best value for high-pressure sanitizing systems.
