The chilled prepared food
market is now established
as one of the largest
sectors in food retailing.
As a consequence, manufacturers need to meet processing challenges of handling an increasing variety of ingredients, while maintaining stringent quality control standards.
For example, transferring high viscosity ingredients such as tomato puree, pulps, creams and syrups, presents particular pumping problems. CSF piston pumps from liquids handling specialists Pump Engineering are suited to transferring thick, viscous ingredients from tanks, drums and IBCs.
CSF pumps are available as quick-strip versions, so they can be easily dismantled for cleaning, without the need for tools.
The pumps are available in long versions for drum emptying where the piston is below the liquid level, and short versions for bottom discharge vessels or wall-mounting.
