Pet food plants use screw pumps to reduce waste and landfill costs

Today's manufacturing plants deserve cost and environmental protection, so a British pet food company found Mono while avoiding waste and landfill costs, and the company's single-screw pumps helped them achieve both goals. The Mono Widethroat pump, installed at the East Yorkshire pet food factory in C & D, a British company, allows the company to save money in a number of ways. The Mono pump is an essential part of this process cycle, not only avoiding the waste of meat sauce in each production lot but also eliminating the cost of landfill prior to it. C & D Foods is pleased to accept Mono's proposal to install the W Series pumps. Four SW042 single-screw pumps were installed on the production line, two on the extrusion line and two on the mobile cart. At the beginning and at the end of each extrusion cycle, if the sauce is not at the correct consistency for packaging or sale, it is forced into the outer hopper of the active pump and then transported to a stationary pump and finally delivered Hopper. The original did not use the meat sauce so re-enter the production cycle, so as to achieve the appropriate consistency. In addition to saving 1/2 on the cost of this new system, this new system has the environmental advantage that previous landfill processes were eliminated. The W Series pumps also feature an enlarged rectangular inlet with a spiral conveyor belt to assist the product into the pumping unit. The four pumps operate at speeds of 50-104 rpm and deliver meat paste at 1 m3 / h. Each pump is driven by the inverter unit to maintain a controlled feed rate. Like all Mono single-screw pumps, the Widethroat W-Series pumps can be used with the Muncher pulverizer for high productivity, integrating the maceration and pumping of the waste treatment system.

Unused meat paste is extruded into an external hopper, which is then transported to a stationary pump and eventually delivered to the hopper.
