Aiming to lower decibel levels, reduce cycle times and cut energy consumption, Pukka Pies has replaced pneumatically operated air pumps with MasoSine SPS 2.5 pumps from the Watson-Marlow Pumps Group to transfer meat fillings at its Leicestershire HQ from where more than 60 million pies are produced every year.

The Watson Marlow MasoSine positive displacement pump, model SPS 2.5, is suitable for high pressure, hygienic operations in sectors such as food manufacture. Its sinusoidal rotor produces powerful suction with low shear, low pulsation and gentle handling.

The process of transferring meat to the top level depositor feed hopper is controlled by Pukka Pies' own VSD system. In combination with the easilyintegrated SPS series pump, the new system is delivering 20% faster pumping times and noise has been reduced from 94 to 74 decibels peak.

Compressed air use too has been cut significantly.
