Our Pumps are Made For

Dairy

Dairy processors know Fristam equipment is designed for precision and durability to outlast all others and provide the highest lifetime value.

Dairy Processing Solutions

For more than a century, dairy processors have relied on Fristam for hygienic pumping, mixing, and blending solutions that deliver the precision, durability, and efficiency the dairy industry demands. From raw milk and whey streams to cultured products and cheese curds, dairy processing requires equipment that protects product quality while standing up to constant cleaning cycles, temperature variations, and high-volume production.

Engineered for the Full Spectrum of Dairy Applications

Fristam offers a complete portfolio of sanitary centrifugal pumps, positive displacement pumps, mixers, and blenders designed to meet the unique challenges found throughout dairy plants. Whether handling delicate ingredients or high-pressure evaporator duties, Fristam equipment consistently provides smooth, reliable flow and hygienic operation.

Our solutions support every stage of dairy processing, including:

Milk Transfer & Standardization

Fristam centrifugal pumps move raw and pasteurized milk gently and efficiently, helping maintain product integrity from receiving to separation to blending. Their hygienic design and CIP capability support continuous production with minimal downtime.

Cream, Yogurt & Cultured Products

Cultured dairy products—from Greek yogurt and sour cream to dairy-based beverages—require precise handling to maintain texture and viscosity. Fristam pumps deliver smooth, low-shear transfer for thick, sensitive products without compromising body or structure.

Cheese Processing

The Fristam FKL positive displacement pump has long been a favorite for cheese applications due to its ability to move curds, cheese blends, and dense mixtures with gentle, uniform flow. Its low shear protects curd integrity, while its heavy-duty construction supports demanding production cycles.

Whey & High-Pressure Evaporator Duty

For high-pressure applications such as whey concentration, evaporators, and filtration, Fristam’s heavy-duty centrifugal pumps—including multi-stage and high-efficiency models—provide dependable performance under demanding conditions.

Ice Cream & Inclusions

Fristam pumps such as the FZX liquid ring pump and FDS twin screw pump excel in pumping aerated mixtures, stabilizer-rich bases, and products containing inclusions—chocolate chips, nuts, cookie pieces, variegates—without damaging particulate identity. Their ability to handle entrained air makes batch changes simple and efficient.

Hygienic Design for Safe, Efficient Dairy Production

Dairy facilities demand equipment that can endure rigorous washdown sanitization, heat variation, and repeated CIP cycles. Fristam equipment is constructed from stainless steel and engineered for durability, cleanability, and long service life—all while helping processors meet stringent dairy safety and quality standards.

Designed, manufactured, assembled, and tested in Middleton, Wisconsin, Fristam pumps and mixers deliver stable, predictable performance supported by expert engineering, reliable parts availability, and responsive service.
