Cleghorn Waring Pumps - Water Jacketed Chocolate Pump

• Transferring molten chocolate or similar viscous confectionery products within a processing line.
• Feeding chocolate enrobers, moulding machines, or tempering units.
• Circulating chocolate in holding tanks to maintain temperature and consistency.
• Handling other temperature-sensitive, high-viscosity food products like caramel, fudge, or glucose syrup.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, flow rates typically range from 500 to 5,000 kg/hour, depending on pump size and product viscosity.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type are 400V, 3-phase electrical supplies, often with a dedicated motor for the pump.

Jacket heating medium

Typically designed for hot water or low-pressure steam circulation to maintain product temperature.

Material of construction

Product contact parts are commonly made from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Pump type

Often a positive displacement pump, such as a lobe or gear pump, suitable for viscous products and gentle handling.

Connections

Typically features hygienic clamp (e.g., Tri-Clamp) or flanged connections for product inlet/outlet and threaded connections for jacket services.

• Why is a water jacket necessary for a chocolate pump?

  A water jacket maintains the chocolate at its optimal processing temperature, preventing solidification and ensuring smooth flow. This is crucial for maintaining product quality and preventing blockages.

• Can this pump handle chocolate with inclusions?

• What maintenance is typically required for this type of pump?

• Is this pump suitable for other viscous food products?

• What kind of control system is typically associated with these pumps?

Depositing and extruding pumps for food processing are valued for their reliability and precision in handling batters, creams, and pastes. Buyers typically prioritise units with stainless steel construction and consistent flow rates suited to their specific products. When purchasing used equipment, inspecting seals, gaskets and internal components for wear is essential, as these affect product quality and hygiene standards. Well-maintained units from reputable manufacturers generally deliver strong longevity, making them sensible investments for production facilities seeking cost-effective solutions.
