Watson-Marlow to Showcase Dairy Processing Challenges at Dairy Industries Expo 2025

Listen to this article

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS) will exhibit fluid path solutions at Dairy Industries Expo, to be held on 29–30 October at NAEC Stoneleigh. The event features the latest innovations in dairy processing and manufacturing.

WMFTS will be showcasing on Stand 44, with visitors able to gain insight into innovative pump and hose technologies specified for the food and beverage sector. WMFTS has particular knowledge in cheese production, where protecting product integrity and minimising waste is becoming ever more critical. Their product line includes sinusoidal and peristaltic pumps tailored for dairy use of any scale, engineered to optimise efficiency and productivity yet lower energy use, water consumption and product loss through shear-sensitive pumping.

John Rowley, WMFTS UK's Food & Beverage and Clean Process Sales Manager, stated:
ā€œDairy Industries Expo provides an ideal setting to connect with dairy processors and explore some of the key challenges they face, from improving sustainability and reducing energy use to protecting product quality and minimising waste. Our fluid handling technologies are specifically designed to help overcome these issues, whether in curd transfer, CIP or other critical production steps. We’re here to demonstrate how our solutions deliver reliable, high-quality performance while supporting more efficient and hygienic processing.ā€

Visit Stand 44 to see:

Qdos® chemical metering pumps: cost-effective and efficient performance for wastewater and water treatment in food and beverage processing. With ±1% accuracy and ±0.5% repeatability they reduce costs and emissions. The new model Qdos H-FLO is built for higher flow rates of up to 600 L/hr.

Certa SineĀ® pumps (MasoSine): easy to clean and optimised for gentle treatment of sensitive or viscous dairy foods, especially cheese. The pump preserves cheese curds' fat and moisture, retaining product quality and minimising wastage. More than 20% yield improvements are possible, by reducing fines content by about 27% compared to a lobe pump. In big cheese plants 900 g per tonne translates into considerable cost saving and payback within less than half a year. The sinusoidal rotor bears fluid softly, minimising shear and can minimise power intake by as much as 50% when dealing with fluids of high viscosity.

Watson-Marlow 530 process pump and pumpheads: these offer versatility for any number of dairy applications, from dosing additives to live culture transfer. Built tough and user-friendly, the 530 is meant for precision and simplicity for operators of all expertise levels. Long lifespan and compatibility with most pumpheads the 530 supports hygienic processing with minimal interruptions, ideal for high-efficiency, contemporary dairy lines.

Aflex Hose, FaBLINE and Bioflex Ultra: optimising pumping systems, WMFTS will be exhibiting premium-quality transfer hoses like the FaBLINE range (with silicone and EPDM covers) and a cut-away representation of the Bioflex Ultra hose. These are suited to demanding dairy hygiene and feature ultra-smooth PTFE liners that resist adhesion and simplify cleaning.

Visit WMFTS at Stand 44 and discover how high-performance pumps and hoses can aid sustainable, efficient and hygienic dairy production.

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions

About us

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group (WMFTG) peristaltic tube and hose pumps meet requirements including: value for money; low cost of ownership; reliability and ease of maintenance to the food and beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, mining and many other industries.

We demonstrate how pumps deliver significant process efficiencies over the lifetime of the equipment. Whether performing flavouring addition in food processing, chemical metering in water treatment or mineral recovery, we have a solution which can cut pump downtime and reduce costs through higher accuracy metering and transfer. WMFTG has dedicated application engineers available to help customers make the right pump and tubing choice from a range providing microlitres per minute to 80 cubic metres per hour flow rates.

The only part of the pump to come into contact with the product is the tube or hose. This means there are no seals or valves that can wear or fail. Replacing the tube or hose can be performed quickly and safely. Peristaltic pump benefits include:

Total fluid containment with no seals No ancillaries Handle viscous and abrasive slurries and sludge Self-priming capability Dry running without damage to the pump In addition to their range of positive displacement pumps, Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group has added PTFE-lined chemical and industrial hoses to their range. Aflex hoses are reinforced to withstand the most severe conditions and use.
