An Iconic Australian Food Manufacturer was looking for a liquid foods pump. They recently took possession of one of the more unusual Rotho Peristaltic pumps to function in their food manufacturing process.
These pumps are very efficient. There is no contamination or mess because there is no oil-filled casing. Also, the pumps are fitted with a leak detector, meaning no loss of valuable product.
The Solution
The model is MOD. PSF 1D which as can be seen from the photograph is a dual pump driven by a single motor and gearbox.
This version allows for transferring small quantities and above all for delicately filling and emptying containers, vats and vessels etc.
The pumps are ideal for bottling plants in which an analogue signal regulates flow rate.
Last but not least, they can be used for precise in-line dosing of additives and enzymes.
The Benefits
Owners of Ragazzini pump do not have to worry about contamination or mess when a hose needs replacing, as there is no oil filled casing, and pumps are fitted with a leak detector that can stop the pump and send an alarm if a hose does fail, minimising the loss of valuable product.
Pumps are seal-less and can run in reverse for tank filling and emptying tasks.
Rotho Peristaltic pumps are used in a myriad of applications including waste water, water filtration plants, food, wine & juice manufacturing, dosing, sampling, medicine etc, where any mechanical contact with the pumped liquid or product must be avoided.
Hydro Innovations is the Australian distributor for high quality Rotho Peristaltic (hose) pumps manufactured by the Ragazzini Pump company in Italy.
The Pumps
Ragazzini Rotho Peristaltic Pumps are the ideal choice for dosing and metering. They consist of an elastomeric tube that is squeezed along its length by rollers that push the fluid contained within. This creates a gentle pumping action that doesn’t cause damage to the product or the pump.
