Sauce solution

16 July 2013

The Thimonnier Company, manufacturer of flexible pouch packaging machines, has integrated two MasoSine EC25 pumps from Watson-Marlow Pumps Group into a new machine designed for packaging béchamel sauce at its base near Lyon.

 

Two EC25 pump heads convey the sauce to dosing nozzles without mixing or shearing the product. The rotor, in the form of a sine wave, creates four moving chambers that gently transport fluid from the suction side to the discharge side for transfer without any variations in volume. The gate prevents any fluid passing back from the discharge side of the pump to the suction side.


The various ways of positioning the EC25 pump heads made it possible to eliminate bacteria retention zones. Maintenance is straightforward; it takes less than 10min to dismantle an EcoSine pump to inspect it or replace a part. The pump can be dismantled in-situ and does not require special training.
