Reach Food Systems - Transfer Depositing Pump

Applications & Use Cases

• Transferring viscous food products such as jams, sauces, and purees between processing stages.
• Depositing batters, creams, and fillings into containers, onto trays, or into moulds.
• Pumping fruit preparations, yoghurts, and gravies for packaging lines.
• Handling delicate food items with minimal shear, preserving product integrity.
• Metering precise quantities of ingredients in bakery and confectionery production.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Units in this class commonly offer throughputs ranging from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr, depending on product viscosity and pump design.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying motor power ratings.

Pump type

Often positive displacement, such as rotary lobe, piston, or progressive cavity, suitable for viscous and particulate products.

Construction material

Food contact parts are typically constructed from 316-grade stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, dimensions can vary significantly, but a typical unit might occupy a floor space of approximately 1m x 0.8m.

Viscosity range

Designed to handle a wide range of viscosities, commonly up to 100,000 cP or higher, depending on the specific pump mechanism.
