Kecol Maxiprime 800 Drum pump

• Transferring viscous food products from drums or tote bins.
• Pumping fruit purees, concentrates, or viscous sauces in food processing.
• Handling non-abrasive industrial liquids with suspended solids.
• Batch transfer operations in chemical or pharmaceutical industries.

Typical capacity

Units of this class commonly offer flow rates from 50 to 200 litres per minute.

Power supply

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

Material construction

For food-grade applications, units are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316).

Solids handling

This type of pump is designed to handle solids, commonly up to 12-20mm, depending on the specific pump head.

Viscosity range

Maxiprime pumps are typically suitable for a wide range of viscosities, from thin liquids to highly viscous pastes.

Mounting

Often supplied with a drum or tote bin mounting plate for secure operation.

  This pump is designed for viscous products, including those with suspended solids, such as fruit juices, purees, sauces, and other food-grade or industrial liquids.

• Is this pump suitable for hygienic applications?

• What maintenance is typically required for a pneumatic drum pump?

• Can this pump be used for abrasive materials?

• What are the typical benefits 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.
