Meat, Poultry & Pet Food

Meat, Poultry & Pet Food Processing Solutions

The meat, poultry, seafood, and pet food industries require equipment that can reliably move, blend, and handle some of the heaviest, most demanding products in food manufacturing. From protein slurries and meat pastes to marinades, gravies, fats, broths, and high-viscosity pet food bases, processors need hygienic equipment built to withstand tough applications—without slowing production or increasing maintenance.

Engineered for Heavy, High-Demand Processing Environments

Fristam delivers a robust portfolio of sanitary pumps, blenders, and mixers designed to excel in the most challenging meat and pet food operations. Whether your process involves dense muscle meat, fibrous particulates, sticky emulsions, thick batters, or abrasive formulations, Fristam solutions are built to move these products with strength, consistency, and reliability.

Our equipment supports critical functions across the protein industry, including:

High-Viscosity Product Transfer

Fristam positive displacement pumps easily manage thick and sticky products such as ground meat slurries, mechanically separated proteins, collagen blends, pet food bases, and cooked stocks—delivering smooth, controlled flow without compromising product structure.

Handling Particulates & Chunks

Large solids such as diced meats, vegetables, and inclusions are protected through our low-shear pumping technologies that maintain particle integrity while ensuring dependable throughput.

Brine, Marinade & Injection Systems

Fristam mixers and blenders produce uniform brines, emulsions, stabilizer blends, and injection solutions—helping processors achieve consistent flavor penetration, improved yields, and stable, repeatable production.

Hot Oils, Fats & Liquid Eggs

Our centrifugal and PD pumps are engineered for fluids with temperature fluctuations, fat content, and varying viscosities, delivering steady flow from blending to coating to forming operations.

Durable Construction for Demanding Conditions

Fristam pumps feature stronger shafts, reinforced bearings, and thick stainless-steel casings, giving them the durability needed for aggressive duty cycles, abrasive ingredients, and continuous cleaning requirements common in meat and poultry facilities.

Built for Hygienic, CIP-Ready Environments

Food safety is non-negotiable. Fristam pumps and mixers are designed for sanitary operation and CIP cleanability, reducing the need for manual disassembly and lowering the risk of cross-contamination between protein types or allergen categories.

Manufactured, assembled, and tested in Middleton, Wisconsin, Fristam equipment provides unmatched dependability, long service life, and exceptional support from our engineering, service, and parts teams.

Featured Product Spotlight: FKL COP Positive Displacement Pump

The Fristam FKL COP is an ideal choice for meat, poultry, seafood, and pet food processors that need to handle extremely thick, sticky, or particulate-rich products—and clean the pump thoroughly between batches or protein categories.

Engineered for open, easy-access cleaning, the FKL COP allows processors to disassemble and sanitize wetted parts quickly and effectively, making it the preferred choice for:

• Meat pastes, slurries, and emulsions
• High-viscosity pet food formulations
• Chunky blends and inclusions
• Sausage and hot dog mixes
• Gravies, fats, and rendered products

Its bi-wing rotor design generates smooth, reliable flow while protecting product identity and reducing shear. Built for high load conditions with heavy-duty shafts and bearings, the FKL COP offers exceptional durability and lower maintenance requirements—making it a powerful solution for processors facing tough textures, aggressive duty cycles, and strict sanitation needs.
