The secret ingredient for sustainable and reliable manufacturing.
Helping Food and Beverage Do More With Less
The food and beverage industry is in the middle of a transformation driven by the need for manufacturing that’s more sustainable, efficient, and intelligent.
At Grundfos, we partner with our customers across dairies, soft drinks, breweries and food processing optimise their facilities by implementing intelligent pumping solutions. These solutions enable F&B manufacturers to manage their water and energy use efficiently and effectively so they can do more and waste less — all without compromising the safety and quality our world relies on.
In the coming years, population growth and climate change will make the need to deliver efficient and sustainable supply chains ever more critical. See how at Grundfos, we are shaping our solutions to transform the future of food and beverage.
Harvest the full potential of water reuse for your business
Water demand by food and beverage manufacturers is expected to increase 400% by 2050, making water a critical resource. With Grundfos, companies can reduce their environmental footprint by recycling up to 80% of their industrial wastewater with a water reuse system. Read our Whitepaper to learn all the benefits of water reuse.

Temperature control
Ensuring the right temperature in industrial production can be critical to food safety. But cooling and boiler processes are often operated inefficiently. With intelligent pump solutions, like Grundfos iSOLUTIONS, we enable manufacturers to take full control of their production to manage highly efficient and reliable food and beverage processes.
Featuring built-in pump functionalities, including variable frequency drive motors and sensors, our complete and intelligent solutions shape an optimal environment. This significantly improves operational equipment efficiency and helps achieve greater savings.
Industrial water treatment
Water plays a crucial role across the entire manufacturing process – from maintaining a reliable water supply for food and beverage production and enabling critical supporting processes, to ensuring the safe discharge or reuse of process water in compliance with today’s regulations.
To guarantee high-quality water for each purpose, Grundfos offers integrated intelligent solutions that help manufacturers optimise the entire water treatment cycle. From intake and distribution to handling of wastewater, our solutions enable more reliable, resource-efficient, and safer operations.
Industrial processess
Keeping processes clean is crucial for maintaining food safety and hygienic conditions in the production environment.
To achieve this, manufacturers are turning to intelligent Wash & Clean solutions like Grundfos iSOLUTIONS. These reliable compact pump solutions are not only built to withstand complex liquid compositions and extreme temperatures. They also help monitor and optimise operational performance while reducing energy, water, and the use of chemicals.

Our speed-regulated E-pumps, digitally enabled solutions and optimisation services are at the heart of these plans. Available for almost all processes found in industry, these solutions make it possible for you to:
- Get immediate savings – on average 37%2 with an E-pump compared with a standard pump – from lower energy consumption and optimised processes
- Achieve emissions reduction without compromising reliability – an essential requirement in many factory processes
- Benefit with a partner who helps developing energy-efficient solutions for the future
- Strengthen your business with solutions that support your sustainability agenda
For Food & Beverage industries, hygienic production is crucial. Pumps have to comply with strict requirements regarding design, materials, surface quality, and cleanability.
In Wash & Clean applications, you face challenges to ensure no downtime, as no washing processes mean production stops.
You need fast-reacting pumps that ensure constant pressure, no matter how many taps are open. So, we supply main cleaning pumps, CIP pumps, or box/bottle washing pumps.
The CR range is perfect for the job.

How intelligent pumps contribute to reducing carbon emissions towards net zero
We have prepared a whitepaper showing why our sustainability approach is attractive for companies as a part of their business model. Significant energy savings, improved reliability and better system performance are just a few advantages mentioned that contribute towards reducing carbon emissions. Find out how you too can achieve this.
Grundfos Optimisation Services in Food and Beverage
We can help you save water and energy, and reduce your carbon footprint.
Inefficient pumps can waste substantial amounts of energy and water. To reduce your operating costs, and help you meet sustainability targets, we offer a range of Optimisation Services. Through careful analysis, Grundfos specialists help you ensure that your pumps are operating as efficiently as possible to the benefit of both the environment and your finances.
Energy Check - An easy to understand assessment of your pumps
Booking an Energy Check is free and non-binding. The analysis is performed on-site by a Grundfos specialist or trained partner and requires no downtime and minimal administration.
An Energy Check comes in two versions: A basic energy check that uses data from the nameplates of pumps and motors, or an advanced version in which data is pulled from your SCADA system or from on-site measurements. The result is a customised Energy Check report detailing the energy consumption and the CO2 emissions of your installed pumps highlighting suggestions for saving energy and energy expenses, to help your company improve its environmental profile.
Energy Audit - A comprehensive analysis of pump performance
An Energy Audit is a diagnostic tool developed by Grundfos specialists to identify excessive energy consumption. The service is based on specific pump performance measurements.
It focuses on the amount of material the pump handles and on flow variations during a short and well-defined period.
During the audit, a Grundfos specialist measures countable values such as flow and energy consumption; analogue values such as pressure, temperature, and water levels; and incident rates such as pump start/stop, and valve open/close. Based on these metrics, the audit assesses the overall efficiency of your pumps and proposes changes to improve efficiency. Final suggestions are based on calculations of potential savings, CO2 emission reductions and payback time on the up-front investment.
Optimise your pumps and reduce OPEX
Did you know that you could save hundreds of thousands every year by replacing your old and inefficient pumps? Download our short booklet to see the potential savings you could expect from energy-optimised solutions, based on real-life cases.
85% percent of a pump’s overall lifetime cost are related to its energy consumption. By energy-optimising your pumps, you’ll save energy, improve reliability, and keep downtime at a minimum. Not only that, upgrading pumps has environmental benefits as well. Investing in green, energy-efficient solutions boosts your environmental profile and brings down carbon emissions.
