Suction of dissolved fat and oils.

This application is rather singular, pumping dissolved fat and oils. A food company specialized in bakery on industrial scale, has the need to collect the fluids arising from operations of cooking of foods made of meat. The fluid that is generated is largely composed of animal dissolved fat and oils, solid formations deriving from the cooking process. The fluid is collected in trays rather wide but of a few centimeters in height. The amount of fluid that collects for each process is relatively low but still in the order of 1500-2000 liters for “baked”.

The difficulty of process consists in the aspiration of fluid mass with relative solid suspension, whereas having to do that at an optimal temperature pointed to maintain fluidity status. The operation must be carried out quickly and occurs by inserting the pump intake pipe equipped with a suitable terminal designed to drain the maximum possible in various points of collection tank. The fluid is then accumulated in tanks and repositioned for energy purposes. The company attended to perform the recovery and transfer operation manually using containers self-purpose built, but obviously in a very long time.

In a first time was used a peristaltic pump HCP 25 to perform the operation of the suction of the oil and grease dissolved. Verified the validity of the solution applied, the company has subsequently purchased a new peristaltic pump of greater dimension in such a way to be able to solve the problem of the recovery of substances arising from seasonal peaks of production, a peristaltic pump HCP 40 is added to the previous HCP 25 already in use.

The company now has a couple of machines perfectly sized for the productive needs, ordinary and extraordinary, and resolved quickly and clean the problem of oils and fats dissolved suction, with heterogeneous suspensions resulting from rotisserie processes.

peristaltic pump for bonder and glues transfering

An important multinational company active in the production of food packaging industry, uses peristaltic pumps for transferring the adhesives in the production process. The first experiments have been made long ago with a peristaltic pump that gave promising results. The application of the pump consists on sucking and transfer bonder and glues to forming lines of product (carton packaging). The bonder has sorely tested the conventional pumps double diaphragm previously in use, the formation of the layers of glue film makes the valve system of pneumatic pumps if not useless, certainly very unstable. Interruptions, and discontinuity in productive activity generated a “nuisance” no longer sustainable.

Cleaning and restoring frequently not solved the problem in an acceptable manner. The rupture of the diaphragm was often a problem for pneumatic pumps due to spill of the glue in distribution air system making unusable. The activity of dosage was complicated by the fact that the pneumatic equipment do not combine with constancy and uniformity required for the operation. Complicated electro-pneumatic devices are necessary to allow the control of the flow rates. But even these devices require careful maintenance and control to ensure their (precarious) operation.

The turning point came some years ago by inserting into the cycle a HCP 25 peristaltic pump with variable speed controlled by an inverter. The pump characteristics were studied with particular attention precisely to meet an efficient operation, economic and possibility of rapid intervention in the site, without having to stop for a long time the job (replacing the tubular membrane worn out). From that day, the peristaltic pump HCP 25 had only one destiny, work hard, and that is exactly what it will do for many years more .

Recently, to a confirmation of the excellent service provided by pump, the company add another, almost identical pump, with small modifications which improve the utilization in order to further limit the dead times in the stage of replacement of the peristaltic hose for cleaning or restore. The company can also count on this pump for a long time, obtaining a service of high efficiency, management costs certainly not very significant.
