Unifiller - Transfer Pump

• Transferring batters, creams, and fruit fillings in bakeries.
• Moving sauces, purees, and viscous liquids in food production.
• Dispensing jams, jellies, and confectionery products.
• Handling cosmetic creams, lotions, and gels in personal care manufacturing.

Typical throughput

Units of this type typically offer variable flow rates, commonly ranging from 10 to 60 litres per minute, depending on product viscosity and pump configuration.

Power supply

Commonly operates on standard industrial electrical supplies, typically 230V or 400V three-phase, though single-phase options may be available for smaller units.

Construction materials

Process contact parts are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316L) to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Pump type

Unifiller transfer pumps often utilise positive displacement technology, such as piston or rotor pumps, suitable for viscous products without damaging integrity.

Mobility

Many units are designed for mobility, often mounted on castors for easy relocation within a production facility.

Typical footprint

For this class of equipment, a typical footprint might range from approximately 600mm x 600mm to 1000mm x 800mm, not including any associated hoppers or feed systems.

• What types of products can this pump handle?

  Unifiller transfer pumps are generally designed for viscous and semi-viscous products, including batters, creams, fruit fillings, sauces, and purees, often with particulates.

• Is this pump suitable for continuous operation?

• How easy is it to clean this type of pump?

• Can this pump handle products with particulates?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used transfer pump?

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.
