Precision and process engineering know-how
Hilge uses stainless steel material in developing and producing its high-quality pumps. Our pumps are manufactured exclusively in rolled and forged stainless steel for use in sensitive, hygienic processes. These materials ensure that surfaces are absolutely smooth and pore-free. Our use of high-precision production technologies such as CNC-controlled milling and machining centres, robotic welding and state-of-the-art test procedures demonstrates our high quality standards, and our ability to offer our customers competent advice and partnership in the field of process technology is completed by the process engineering expertise of our workforce.
Hilge manufactures single-stage and multistage end-suction and self-priming centrifugal pumps. These are designed to meet the specific requirements of Qualified Hygienic Design (QHD), and their cleanability has been certified in accordance with the EHEDG Cleanability Method. They comply with all current regulations and directives, such as FDA directives, EU Machinery Directives and GMP, and also national and international standards such as DIN EN, ISO and ASME. The company as a whole and the complete production manufacturing process are certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2000.
Our numerous technical lectures and seminars on pump specification profiles and our manufacturing programme provide a forum for intensive, regular exchanges of knowledge in the food and beverage technology and pharmaceutical markets.
