Food-Grade Rotary Pump for Conveying Thick Sauces

 

In the food processing industry, conveying thick pastes and sauces (such as ketchup, chili sauce, chocolate sauce, peanut butter, etc.) has always been a core challenge on production lines. The high viscosity, tendency to settle, and particle content of these substances place stringent requirements on pump materials, sealing, corrosion resistance, and conveying stability. How to choose a pump that can efficiently convey substances while ensuring food safety? CIXIFM's food-grade rotary lobe pump provides the perfect answer.

 

I. Why Choose a Food-Grade Rotary Lobe Pump?

 

Traditional pump types (such as centrifugal pumps and gear pumps) often face the following challenges when conveying high-viscosity media:

 

Shear forces damage the media structure: High-speed rotating impellers or gears easily damage particles or fibers in sauces, affecting taste and quality;

Easy to clog and difficult to clean: Media adheres to the pump body, residues breed bacteria, failing to meet food hygiene standards;

High energy consumption and short lifespan: High-viscosity media require greater torque; ordinary pumps are prone to overheating and damage, resulting in high maintenance costs.

 

CIXIFM's food-grade cam rotor pump, with its pulsation-free delivery, low shear force, strong self-priming capability, and easy cleaning, has become the "golden partner" for conveying thick sauces:

 

Precisely adaptable to high viscosity: Easily handles sauces with a viscosity range of 1-1,000,000 mPa·s and 2000-3000 mPa·s;

Food-grade materials ensure safety: The pump head is made of SS304 stainless steel (compliant with FDA/3A standards), with a surface finish ≤0.8μm, supporting CIP/SIP online cleaning;

Stable delivery without leakage: Mechanical seal design + double-end face sealing option eliminates leakage risk and avoids cross-contamination;

Energy-efficient, high-performance, and long-life: Reducer drive lowers speed and shear force; YE3 high-efficiency motor saves over 15% energy and has a lifespan exceeding 5 years.

 

II. Customer Case: A "Worry-Free Experience" from Consultation to Implementation

 

Recently, an international food company urgently needed a pump capable of conveying tomato sauce with a viscosity of 2500 mPa·s and a flow rate of 20 m³/h due to production line upgrades. The original equipment frequently stalled due to insufficient motor power, and the stainless steel material rusted, resulting in product defects. Based on their needs, the CIXIFM technical team recommended the CYB17.5-3Y food-grade rotary pump and provided the following customized solution:

 

Power Upgrade: Upgrading the original 5kW motor to a 7.5kW reducer drive to ensure stable delivery of high-viscosity media;

Diameter Adaptation: Seamless connection to existing pipelines via a 2-inch to 77mm chuck reducer;

Enhanced Sealing: Employing a fluororubber mechanical seal, resistant to acidic sauces and corrosion, extending service life;

Intelligent Control: Supporting frequency conversion flow regulation to avoid frequent start-stop cycles and reduce energy consumption.

 

Customer Feedback:

 

"The new pump has been running without any problems for 3 months. The tomato particles in the tomato sauce are intact and undamaged, washing time has been reduced by 40%, and production efficiency has been significantly improved!"
