Pet food pumps are used to transport, dose and mix liquid and semi-liquid ingredients in the production process. The choice of pump depends on the type of raw material, viscosity, temperature and sanitary requirements.
VALISI internal gear pumps of the VD series are positive displacement pumps with a robust and simple design (only two moving parts). This type of design allows for efficient pumping of both liquid and clean media, as well as highly viscous abrasive media with inclusions (e.g. asphalt, chocolate, honey, etc.). The pumps can pump liquids with a viscosity of 100 ~ 1.000.000 cst. The pumps provide a uniform flow and high pressure. The following gear pump designs are available: without axial support, with axial support, in-line design, monoblock design, and high-speed design.
Waukesha lobe pumps are represented by two main series: Universal I and Universal II. They differ in operating pressure and some design features. The former operates at a pressure of 13.8 bar, and the latter at 34.5 bar. The Universal II models are equipped with a three-pin stationary seal. The pumps used in the food and pharmaceutical industries meet all hygiene and safety standards. For pharmaceutical equipment, a smooth internal surface is mandatory. For both series of pumps, all parts and structures can be rinsed.
The ASCO POMPE plant manufactures the following range of pumps: oil-immersed rotary vane vacuum pumps, dry rotary vane vacuum pumps, dry screw vacuum pumps, liquid ring vacuum pumps, automatic vacuum systems, and engineering solutions in the field of vacuum systems. Thanks to extensive experience and cooperation with leading European suppliers of components, ASCO VACUUM produces equipment of the highest quality class, which guarantees reliable and long-lasting operation.
The VPH series of peristaltic pumps with shoe technology is our updated peristaltic pump designed for high pressure applications up to 15 bar, with 14 sizes available in flow rates up to 150 m3/h. This is a heavy-duty industrial pump series designed for round-the-clock operation. We have combined the best available materials with clever design solutions to maximise uptime and minimise maintenance.
This pump summarises what we want to achieve: the best pumping solutions for our customers. Our design increases the simplicity and reliability of the pump.
Peristaltic pumps of the N series (roller design) are self-priming peristaltic pumps with a seal-free design. The liquids are transported inside the hose and do not come into contact with any metal parts of the pump.
The pumps are characterised by extremely smooth pumping of the product, thus preventing the formation of emulsions or turbulence. All pumps can be supplied in monoblock versions connected to gearboxes, regulators, electric, diesel, pneumatic or hydraulic motors.
The design of the pumps allows them to be used for many different applications. The standard design includes an enlarged rectangular inlet hopper with a screw conveyor that pushes the product to be pumped into the pump's working section. There are versions in which the pump inlet is equipped with a large screw, an integrated cork breaker or both. Most pumps are supplied in a monoblock design (direct connection of the pump to the electric motor) or with a free shaft outlet (without an electric motor).
The MENC-INOX industrial pumps are pumps with a flexible stainless steel impeller. The impeller deforms inside the stainless steel casing to provide fast suction of up to 5 m and constant and accurate liquid transfer. In addition, the low speed makes this pump suitable for pumping liquids and media containing solids that require careful handling. Due to the low speed, pumping is carried out without harmful foaming of the emulsion, the so-called "shear effect".
Hydra-Cell Metering Solutions pumps meet and, in most cases, exceed API 675 performance standards by providing virtually pulse-free, linear flow, as well as many other operational benefits. Taking advantage of state-of-the-art technology, Hydra-Cell P-Series metering pumps achieve superior levels of accuracy, repeatability and linearity, delivering precise, consistent flow. This revolution in metering uses the latest electronic flow control available to replace outdated, inaccurate stroke controllers.
The main types of pumps for feed production:
1. Gear pumps
Used for viscous liquids such as fats, oils, syrups. They provide a uniform flow and high pressure.
2. Vane pumps (rotary vane pumps)
Well suited for pumping thick liquids with inclusions (minced meat, mashed potatoes). They are used in the production of wet feed.
3. Screw pumps (screw, progressive cavity)
Effective for pumping products with particles, preserving the structure of the ingredients. They work well with high-viscosity mixtures.
4. Diaphragm pumps
Suitable for dispensing liquid ingredients such as water, sauces or broths. They are highly resistant to corrosion and contamination.
5. Centrifugal pumps
Used to transport liquid components with low to medium viscosity. Often used for water, milk, broths in the production of dry food.
6. Peristaltic pumps
They are used for hygienic transportation of sensitive liquids without the risk of contamination. Often used for dosing vitamins, trace elements and other additives.
