The Ultimate Hygienic Solution for Hard to Pump Products
The 'Polar Process Incorporated' stainless steel pump feeder system is a modular food processing solution that solves virtually all difficult to pump or hard to process product problems.
Capable of handling material viscosities of up to 20 million centipoise, it can be used at the beginning, middle or end stages of the food manufacturing process.
Typical applications - butter handling: to convert large, frozen butter blocks to spaghetti-like, soft strands for easy mixing in biscuit manufacture or to portion your product into exact sizes such as chocolate bars or to solve any number of other tricky food processing problems.
The main components of this pump feeder solution are as follows:
- Customised inlet area such as a stainless steel hopper
- Power feed roller
- Auger chamber with auger screws
- High capacity positive displacement pump
The unique Power Feed Rollers ensure that the product is forced into the augers, thereby eliminating air pockets. This air-free product can then be pumped for further processing, mixing, blending or batching.
Depending upon your requirements, a blender, extruder, portioner and/or cutting device can be added at the outlet.
Whether you need to pump large blocks of product, meter and blend dry or wet ingredients on line, or extrude and portion products in one process line, the Polar Pump Feeder is the answer.
Butter Handling and Extruding
BestPump has designed and commissioned several of these pump feeder systems to process and prepare butter before the mixing stage for major biscuit and cookie manufacturers. Where huge amounts of butter and organic butter are used to produce cookies, biscuits, butter shortbread etc., the Polar Process system is a world class solution. It makes automated butter handling simple even when processing 25kg frozen butter blocks! The popular "shower head" extruder fitting converts hard to pump butter blocks into soft, manageable strands of butter - ready for mixing.
