GoatThroat Pumps for Food Manufacturing

It’s impossible to run a production facility properly without pumps that contribute to a hygienic, safe and efficient environment. Finding food & beverage drum pumps that reduce spills and make it easier to transfer liquid content between containers is essential for an orderly operation and spill-free environment. GoatThroat pumps are used in the food and beverage industry to reduce product waste and create neat, balanced pours when transferring liquids from storage containers to point of use.  These food-grade pumps can help facilities to meet compliance for OSHA, CFR Title 21, parts 170 – 199, and other regulating bodies.  They will also improve your ability to meet HACCP requirements. They are capable of handling oils, soy, vinegar, various flavorings, cleaning fluids, water, and chemicals.

Our closed system food-grade pumps are optimal for keeping products protected from foreign elements and contamination. They are produced with FDA-approved and compliant plastics. This makes GoatThroat’s sanitary drum pumps and food-grade hand pumps an excellent tool for food and beverage production factories.

Find the right Pump

As a member of the food and beverage industry, the health and cleanliness of production are critical to success. The devastation caused by public reactions to production mishaps or disasters is difficult to overcome. Food and beverage companies are more subject to public opinion than most other industries. For that reason, the food and beverage industry goes out of its way to ensure a safe, clean, and effective production process.

GoatThroat can provide the food-grade barrel pumps, food-grade drum pumps, and other beverage pumps that your factory needs to handle your liquid product in a clean and health-conscious manner. Our pumps are designed to reduce the risk of spills or leaks. That means not only are GoatThroat products FDA-approved and ready to be attached to a 55-gallon drum as food-grade pumps, but they also prevent product loss on the factory floor. Less product lost to spills and leaks means more food or beverage product will reach the final stage and be shipped for consumption or use. In short, less waste equals more output. Thus, your company will perform better.

CIP Transfer Pumps

The need for hand drum pumps and food-grade transfer methods for liquid materials used in food and beverage production is a given for the industry.

Earth Supplied Products - Pumping Beauty

Cosmetics Manufacturer Improves Processes Thanks to GoatThroat Pumps For the passed fifteen years, Florida-based Earth Supplied Products has its hand in the beauty formulas of a wide variety of cosmetics giants like Estee Lauder, Avon and Revlon just to name a few. Catering primarily to companies based on the East Coast, Earth Supplied Products specializes in providing natural, hand-mixed cosmetic additives and ingredients to the personal care and cosmetic industries. Earth Supplied Products uses oils from natural sources like Black Walnuts, Brazil Nuts, Cotton Seeds, Pecans and even Pumpkins. These oils, purchased in 55-gallon drums, are normally dispensed from a traditional spigot style tap. The problem for company owner Peter Boncelet was the process of tapping them, which required each cumbersome 500-pound, 55-gallon drum to first be tipped onto its side. The act of tipping the large heavy cylinders was complicated and potentially dangerous. In addition, having the drums lying...

Diverse Food Markets Demand Diverse Technical Solutions

Innovative Transfer Pump is a New Ingredient in an Old Family Recipe While major manufacturers measure line production in thousands of gallons per hour, food processing entrepreneurs may only need a few gallons of a given ingredient every 60 minutes. Nonetheless, reliable pumping is a prerequisite, and corrosion and abrasion-resistant pump components can contribute to product quality as their business builds. Stancatos's restaurant exemplifies the entrepreneurial category. A Cleveland area mainstay since 1938, Stancato's began bottling its spaghetti sauce and Italian salad dressing for diners who wanted to enjoy the toppings at home. Last year, the firm branched out into the retail distribution and acquired a former canning in Canton, OH to meet growing demand. "We were pouring ingredients into a bucket from a 55-gallon drum weighing about 400 lbs.," recalls Scott Six, the plant's production manager. "It was a two-man job, inconvenient, and hard work."
