Jacoby-Tarbox HYGIENIC Eductors (Clark Reliance)
Jacoby-Tarbox® HYGIENICS™ eductors provide reliable in-line and in-tank operation for hygienic processing systems. They support pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, food, beverage, and other applications where cleanability remains essential.
Jacoby-Tarbox hygienic eductors pump, mix, blend, and heat without moving parts. Their geometry follows proven industrial eductor sizes, with design updates for hygienic processing. Eight in-line models support liquid, gas, and steam applications. In-tank units provide mixing, blending, and heating inside process vessels.
Standard sizes range from 1 to 4 inches. Jacoby-Tarbox also offers custom configurations for specialized process requirements. Standard GRQ clamps, SafeGuards, and push pins help maintain the factory-established assembly.
Westech Industrial supplies Jacoby-Tarbox hygienic eductors across Canada. Our team can assist with application review, product selection, integration, service, and custom fabrication. Westech’s Custom Fabrication team can also incorporate eductors into customized process systems.

Description
Pump, Mix, and Heat Without Moving Parts
Jacoby-Tarbox hygienic eductors support several process functions without internal moving components. In-line units can handle liquid, gas, and steam applications. Meanwhile, in-tank models support mixing, blending, and heating.
The no-moving-parts design provides a practical solution for hygienic processing systems. It also reduces the need for mechanical components inside the process stream. As a result, facilities can add pumping or mixing functions without installing a conventional mechanical agitator at the operating point.
Consistent Hygienic Eductor Performance
Jacoby-Tarbox bases the hygienic product geometry on widely used industrial eductor sizes. However, the manufacturer updates each design for hygienic applications.
This approach provides consistent performance across a broad range of sizes and configurations. It also allows users to choose between in-line and in-tank arrangements without leaving the same product family.
Eight in-line models support different liquid, gas, and steam requirements. In addition, in-tank eductors and Tank Liquid Agitators support process vessel circulation, blending, and heating.
Custom In-Line Eductor Components
In-line Jacoby-Tarbox hygienic eductors use a standard tee body. However, Jacoby-Tarbox customizes the nozzle and discharge inserts for the intended application.
These internal components help establish the required factory configuration. Therefore, correct selection and assembly remain important for dependable operation.
Westech can help review process requirements before coordinating the final configuration. This review can include the application, process medium, required function, size, and installation arrangement.
SF4 Wetted Surface Finish
Jacoby-Tarbox applies an SF4 finish to wetted surfaces. This finish supports installations where clean process contact surfaces remain a priority.
The hygienic design suits pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, food, beverage, and similar processing environments. Moreover, the available in-line Class VI seals support hygienic process requirements.
Customers should confirm material, seal, and cleaning requirements for each application. Westech can help coordinate these details during product selection.
CIP and SIP Cleaning Requirements
Jacoby-Tarbox hygienic eductors can operate within clean-in-place and steam-in-place process systems. However, operators must flush the system from both the motive and suction sides.
Flushing from both directions helps clean the internal flow paths properly. Therefore, the system design must provide suitable cleaning access to each side of the eductor.
Users should consider this requirement during piping and system design. Proper planning can improve cleaning consistency and simplify operating procedures.
Secure In-Line Eductor Assembly
In-line Jacoby-Tarbox hygienic eductors include GRQ Engineered Hygienic Clamps as standard. GRQ SafeGuards and push pins help discourage changes to the factory-established configuration.
Standard and Custom Sizes
Standard Jacoby-Tarbox hygienic eductor sizes range from 1 to 4 inches. Custom configurations are also available for applications outside the standard range.
This flexibility helps accommodate different process capacities, vessel arrangements, piping layouts, and operating objectives. Westech can coordinate custom sizing and configuration requests with the manufacturer.
Applications
Jacoby-Tarbox hygienic eductors support processing systems that require dependable performance and clean process contact surfaces. Customers can select in-line units for liquid, gas, or steam service. They can also use in-tank units for vessel mixing, blending, and heating.
