Quote from nistobarke12 on September 15, 2025, 7:31 pmTo use a food transfer pump, first, select the correct food-grade pump for your product and ensure it's properly sanitized. Then, position the pump's inlet hose into the food source, the outlet hose into the receiving container, and secure it if necessary. Turn the pump on and monitor the operation to ensure even flow and no leaks. Stop the pump when finished, then turn off the power and thoroughly clean and maintain the pump and tubing.

Thoroughly clean and sanitize the pump, hoses, and any other components that will come into contact with the food before and after use.Operation Steps
- Position the Pump: Insert the pump's inlet hose into the container holding the food product.

- Start the Pump: Turn the pump on using the power switch or start button.
- Monitor the Flow: Observe the product moving through the pump. Ensure it flows evenly and there are no leaks or cracks in the tubing. Some pumps may have temperature or pressure monitoring features to check.
- Stop the Pump: When you are done transferring the food, turn the pump off.
After Use
- Disconnect and Clean: Turn off the power supply and disconnect the pump.
- Thorough Cleaning: Clean the pump and tubing immediately to prevent contamination, corrosion, or product buildup.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check the tubing and pump components for signs of wear.
