Industries — Poultry
A poultry plant moves a lot of water, a lot of product, and a lot of waste, all under strict sanitation. Chiller water, marinades, mechanically separated meat, offal, blood: each wants a different pump. IPE fits the equipment to the duty.
What's Different Here
Poultry combines heavy water duty with demanding product and waste streams, under strict pathogen control. Four pressures shape pump selection.
Immersion chilling, wash-down, and process water mean huge high-flow duty running alongside every product and waste stream.
Evisceration waste is high-solids, stringy, and abrasive, and clogs or wears pumps not built to pass it.
Marinades, brines, and whole-muscle portioning drive the yield and appearance that poultry margins depend on.
Salmonella and Campylobacter control means intensive CIP and hygienic, cleanable design throughout the plant.
Duty Matching
We aren't locked to one brand, so we can put the right pump on chiller water, on MSM, or on offal instead of one pump everywhere. Here's how a poultry plant tends to break down.
The high-flow backbone of a poultry plant — immersion chilling, wash-down, and process water circulation, moved efficiently at volume.
How centrifugal pumps work →
Evisceration waste, blood, and viscera — high-solids, stringy, and abrasive. Seal-less hose pumps and enclosed transport move it without clogging.
How peristaltic pumps work →
Circulating marinades and brines for yield and flavor, and feeding injection and dosing lines with consistent, repeatable flow.
How centrifugal pumps work →
Mechanically separated meat, emulsions, and ground product — viscous and particulate, moved with steady positive-displacement flow.
How PD pumps work →
Whole-muscle chicken product moved and portioned gently, holding shape and appearance where yield and presentation matter.
How PD pumps work →
Feather-laden, greasy DAF sludge and wastewater moved by air-operated diaphragm pumps that pass solids and tolerate running dry.
How AODD pumps work →
Intensive clean-in-place and wash-down for pathogen control — a defining duty in poultry, run hard between shifts.

Working With Us
The maker of a single pump won't tell you where it's the wrong tool. We will, because a poultry plant has far too many different duties for one pump to cover.
Enviroflex, Ampco, Marlen, VUMP and more, so water, product, and waste each get the pump they actually need.
Every line we carry is sanitary and clean-in-place ready, which a poultry plant leans on hard, shift after shift.
Chiller water, marinade dosing, MSM, offal, blood, and the drives to run them, matched by one partner who knows the flow.
Sizing and application help across North America, from people who know poultry sanitation and where lines bog down.
The Lines
The lines that do the most work in a poultry plant. Tap any card for the full manufacturer profile.
Centrifugal for chiller, brine, and process water; rotary lobe for MSM and emulsions; and the SP liquid-ring for CIP. 3-A and EHEDG.
View the Ampco line →
Twin-piston systems that move whole-muscle chicken and MSM gently, holding particle integrity, with repeatable portioning for filling.
View the Marlen line →
Seal-less hose pumps and AODD pumps for blood, offal, viscera, and sludge — the abrasion- and solids-tolerant end of the line.
View the Enviroflex line →
Heavy-duty sanitary pumps proven in poultry — six sizes to 14", 10 to 200 m³/h for offal, waste, and high-throughput streams.

Poultry Questions
Straight answers to what poultry processors ask most about moving water, product, and waste.
What pump handles poultry chiller and process water?
Sanitary centrifugal pumps, such as Ampco's, are efficient for the high-flow, low-viscosity duty that dominates poultry: immersion chilling, wash-down, and process water circulation, in corrosion-resistant stainless.
How do you move poultry blood, offal, and viscera?
Seal-less peristaltic and AODD pumps, such as Enviroflex, pass high-solids, stringy, abrasive offal and blood without clogging, the enclosed VUMP System moves viscera and by-product, and heavy-duty Lamella pumps carry waste at high throughput.
What is used for marinade and brine in poultry?
Centrifugal pumps circulate thin marinades and brines efficiently, while positive displacement and peristaltic pumps meter injection and dosing feed accurately for consistent yield.
Can you pump MSM and whole-muscle poultry?
Positive displacement rotary lobe pumps, such as Ampco's, move mechanically separated meat and emulsions, while Marlen twin-piston systems handle whole-muscle chicken products gently, holding particle definition and appearance.
What about CIP and sanitation in poultry?
Poultry runs intensive sanitation for pathogen control. Ampco's SP liquid-ring handles CIP return and entrained air, and its pumps conform to 3-A and are EHEDG certified for hygienic design. IPE confirms the certifications your facility requires.
How do I size a pump for my poultry line?
Describe the duty, including the stream, flow, temperature, and solids, and IPE will recommend and size the right line. Call 206-790-0775, email [email protected], or use the quote form.
Tell us the duty — chiller water, offal, marinade, MSM, or whole-muscle — and IPE will spec the pump to match.
