| 71 T T Rosa Watson Hygiene a top priority for pump specialists Nuphlo has made many innovations to standard thinking in pump design. Nuphlo CONTRACTING When it comes to dairy processing, every detail matters – something that stainless steel pump manufacturer Nuphlo understands well. The Christchurch-based company is a well-established, family-owned pump manufacturer and supplier, specialising in the design and manufacture of a range of hygienic centrifugal and positive displacement pumps. Its pump range includes centrifugal pumps for a wide variety of liquid food products, including beverages, cream, and milk; flexible impeller pumps designed for self-priming and handling viscous products across the food, beverage, dairy and pharmaceutical sectors; and wave plate positive displacement pumps for the gentle transfer of shear-sensitive, fragile and viscous food products. The range also features liquid ring pumps for self-priming duties across similar applications to centrifugal pumps, hydraulic drive pumps suited to dairy road tanker requirements, and petrol- or diesel-driven pumps for water and chemical transfer on smaller road tankers. Its pumps are successfully deployed in the dairy, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical industries, and the company has been supplying these industries in Australia and New Zealand since 1989, taking pride in continuing to offer personal service with the best pumping solution. Its design philosophy is, “Things can always be done better”, and Nuphlo has made many innovations to standard thinking in pump design. Director Roy Campbell says the prime design consideration is hygiene and simplicity without compromising performance. “We are usually able to accommodate additional features, which may be requested. From ensuring the highest hygiene standards to maintaining efficiency and product quality, the right equipment is critical. “That’s where New Zealand-manufactured Nuphlo stainless steel pumps excel – they’re designed to handle the unique challenges of the dairy industry while keeping things running smoothly.” Roy says hygiene is a top priority in dairy production, and Nuphlo products are the perfect fit. “Made from food-grade stainless steel, they resist bacterial growth and are incredibly easy to clean.” The smooth, crevice-free design leaves nowhere for residue to hide, helping to prevent contamination and ensuring compliance with strict industry regulations. Durability is another big factor, Roy says. “Dairy products naturally contain acids that can wear down lower-quality materials over time, leading to costly maintenance and replacements. Nuphlo’s stainless steel construction stands up to corrosion and wear, meaning these pumps last longer and perform better, reducing downtime and keeping production lines moving.” Roy says Nuphlo pumps deliver consistent performance without damaging delicate products, he adds. “Whether for moving milk, cream, yoghurt, or even cheese curds, they provide a smooth, gentle flow that preserves texture and quality.” And with superior efficiency, Nuphlo pumps reduce energy consumption and lower costs. The versatile range can meet any requirement for clients, Roy says. “Whether theyu need a pump for raw milk transfer, pasteurisation, homogenisation, or a CIP (clean-in-place) system, there’s a model designed to meet their needs. With customisable flow rates and pressure capacities, these pumps seamlessly adapt to different production requirements.” Roy says choosing the right pump is an investment in a dairy operation’s success. “With Nuphlo stainless steel pumps, people get reliability, hygiene, and efficiency all in one. “That means better product quality, lower operating costs, and peace of mind knowing their equipment is built to last.” Trusted for over 35 years, Nuphlo is available exclusively from Hallmach.co.nz. 09-273 8001 sales@techniturn.co.nz www.techniturn.co.nz Pakuranga Engineering is proud to provide high-quality machined parts for Nuphlo Pumps from our ISO-certified CNC workshop
