Gear pumps for food, feed and cosmetics
From sugar mills and palm oil refineries to chocolate factories and cosmetic plants: viscous food products need gentle, hygienic pumping.
Cane molassesCane molasses from sugar mills is often heavier than beet molasses and arrives at the pump with a variable sugar and solids content depending on the crushing season.NAV, CR or ZV
ChocolateChocolate has to be kept warm, uniformly, and must not be stressed: too much shear or a hot spot ruins the temper and the texture.FX, CR or NAV
Glucose syrupGlucose syrup is clean but very viscous and becomes harder to move as it cools; it is also a food product, so the wetted parts must be hygienic.FX, NAV or CR
GlycerinGlycerin is viscous, hygroscopic and, as crude glycerin from biodiesel, can be salty and contain soaps and methanol.NAV, ZV or FX
HoneyHoney is viscous, delicate and crystallises: the quality the beekeeper sells depends on not overheating it and not whipping air into it.FX or ZV
MolassesMolasses is dense, sticky and its viscosity changes enormously with temperature: a line that runs freely in a hot afternoon can stall at dawn.CR, NAV or ZV
Palm oilCrude palm oil and palm fractions are semi-solid at mild temperatures and must be kept warm in tanks, lines and pumps: a pump that cools down full of palm oil will not start.NAV, CR or ZV
