Manufacturers
One of the most complete sanitary pump lines in the industry — centrifugal and positive displacement, 3-A and EHEDG, for brine, CIP, and viscous product.
The Company
Ampco Pumps Company has built sanitary centrifugal and positive displacement pumps for more than 70 years, from its manufacturing base in Glendale, Wisconsin. An ISO 9001:2015 registered company and a member of the Krones Group, Ampco offers one of the most complete sanitary pump lines in the industry, and its positive displacement pumps are EHEDG certified and conform to 3-A standards.
That breadth is why IPE reaches for Ampco across so much of a processing line: efficient centrifugals for water, brine, and transfer; the SP liquid-ring for clean-in-place return; and rotary lobe and circumferential piston pumps for viscous and gentle duty. Standard features like a 304 stainless gearcase and front-loading seals make the line a favorite of maintenance teams and inspectors alike.
