Food & Beverage Processing
From grain cooking to pasteurization to CIP heating, jet pumps and eductors are trusted throughout the food and beverage industry for their simplicity, cleanability, and reliability.
Why Food Processors Choose Jet Pumps
Common Applications
Grain Mash Heating & Cooking
Direct steam injection heats grain mashes rapidly and uniformly. The eductor simultaneously agitates the mash, eliminating the need for a separate agitator. Used in distilleries, breweries, and grain processing.
Pasteurization & Sterilization
Steam jet heaters provide instantaneous inline heating for pasteurization of juices, dairy products, and liquid foods. No heat transfer surfaces to foul or harbor bacteria.
CIP (Clean-in-Place) Heating
Heat caustic and acid CIP solutions inline before they enter the cleaning circuit. Eliminates heat exchangers that foul and require descaling.
Syrup & Concentrate Mixing
Tank eductors blend syrups, concentrates, and additives into beverage tanks without mechanical agitators. Gentle, thorough mixing with no shear damage to sensitive products.
Blanching & Cooking
Steam jet heaters heat water for blanching vegetables, cooking starches, and other food processing operations requiring rapid, precise temperature control.
Liquid Transfer & Priming
Liquid jet pumps transfer syrups, juices, and process fluids. Self-priming capability eliminates the need for flooded suction.
Brewing & Distilling
Tank heating eductors are widely used in craft brewing and distilling for mash cooking. Direct steam injection heats the mash rapidly while simultaneously agitating it — eliminating the need for a separate agitator and heat exchanger. The result is faster heat-up times, more uniform temperature distribution, and no fouling surfaces to clean.
