Industrial-Grade Pump That Tackles Demanding Jobs Effortlessly!
The JS Lamella Pump, produced by JS Proputec, is a versatile and efficient tool designed specifically for industries that require the handling of tough, mixed, and heterogeneous materials. This pump stands out in sectors like food processing, where it is tasked with handling materials such as bones, tissue, and fat.
Technical Specifications of the JS Lamella Pump
- Design Type: The JS Lamella Pump is a lamella (or vane-type) rotary pump, optimised for viscous, heterogeneous, and solid-laden fluids.
- Materials: Constructed from food-grade stainless steel, often AISI 316L, the pump adheres to hygiene standards and resists corrosion. Seals and gaskets are compatible with food-grade materials, ensuring no contamination.
- Flow Rate: Capable of handling flow rates ranging from a few cubic meters per hour up to several tens of cubic meters per hour, depending on the model size.
- Pressure: Operates efficiently at moderate pressures suitable for pumping viscous and solid-containing fluids without clogging.
- Pumping Capability: Able to move highly viscous mixtures and solids suspended in liquids. Designed for gentle pumping action, minimising product degradation or shear damage.
- Cleaning & Maintenance: Designed for easy disassembly and cleaning (CIP/SIP-compatible), crucial for food industry standards. Low wear parts due to the robust lamella mechanism, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
- Drive System: Typically motor-driven with variable speed options to accommodate different product viscosities and flow requirements.
- Dimensions and Weight: Compact and modular design for integration within existing processing lines.
Benefits in Handling Bones, Tissue, and Fat in Food Processing
- Robust Handling of Solids: The lamella pump can efficiently handle solid particles like bones and tissue fragments without jamming, a major challenge in the meat and food processing industry.
- Gentle Product Handling: Compared to other pump types, lamella pumps impart less shear, reducing breakdown of fibrous tissues and fat globules. This preserves the texture and quality of the processed materials.
- Versatility: Capable of pumping mixed consistency substances—ranging from semi-solid to highly viscous—ensuring consistent process flow.
- Hygienic Design: Constructed with sanitary design principles, the pump meets stringent hygiene requirements, facilitating easy cleaning and minimising contamination risks.
- Reduced Downtime: High reliability and simple maintenance designs decrease process interruptions in continuous and batch operations.
- Energy Efficiency: Optimised lamella mechanisms reduce energy consumption when pumping difficult media compared to traditional positive displacement pumps.
Summary
The JS Lamella Pump offers several advantages in demanding food processing environments:
- It provides robust, clog-free pumping of heterogeneous materials.
- It preserves product integrity with gentle, low-shear handling.
- It complies with hygiene standards for food safety.
- It reduces operational costs via reliable and low-maintenance construction.
