Kecol Maxiprime 800 Drum pump

• Transferring viscous food products and liquids from drums or IBCs.
• Handling fruit purees, concentrates, and similar food ingredients.
• Feeding processing lines with bulk ingredients from storage containers.
• Emptying containers of sauces, jams, and other semi-solid food items.

Typical flow rate

For this class of equipment, flow rates commonly range from 50 to 150 litres per minute, depending on product viscosity and pump configuration.

Power supply

Pneumatically operated pumps like this typically require a compressed air supply, commonly 6-8 bar.

Material construction

Units designed for food processing, such as this one, are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for contact parts.

Solids handling capability

Maxiprime pumps are known for handling solids; for this type, capabilities commonly extend to particles up to 12-15mm.

Typical product viscosity

These pumps are well-suited for a wide range of viscosities, from thin liquids to highly viscous pastes and purees.

Mounting

Typically designed for drum or tote bin mounting, often with adjustable height mechanisms.

• What maintenance is typically required for a Kecol Maxiprime drum pump?

  Routine maintenance commonly involves checking air lines, seals, and diaphragms for wear, and ensuring all contact parts are clean after use. Specific intervals will depend on usage and product.

• Can this pump handle abrasive products?

• Is this pump suitable for CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems?

• What type of air compressor is needed for a pneumatic pump like this?

• What are the advantages of a pneumatic drum pump over an electric one?

Food processing pumps are valued for reliability and durability in continuous operations. Buyers typically prioritise corrosion resistance, hygiene compliance, and consistent flow rates. When purchasing used units, inspecting seals, impellers and motor condition proves essential. Industry sentiment favours models with straightforward maintenance requirements and availability of spare parts. Stainless steel construction and gentle handling capabilities for delicate products are consistently sought features.
