Kecol Maxiprime 800 Drum pump

• Transferring viscous food products and ingredients from drums or totes.
• Handling delicate or shear-sensitive materials in food production.
• Emptying containers of fruit purees, concentrates, or sauces.
• Moving semi-solid food products with small particulates.

Typical throughput

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

Power supply

Pneumatically operated drum pumps typically require a clean, dry compressed air supply, commonly between 4 to 7 bar.

Material construction

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

Solids handling

Maxiprime pumps are known for handling solids; for this model, it is common to accommodate solids up to 12-15mm.

Viscosity range

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

Cleaning

Units of this type are generally designed for easy dismantling and cleaning, often suitable for CIP (Clean-in-Place) or COP (Clean-out-of-Place) procedures.
