More slurry flow, fewer blockages
AB Produce supplies prepared vegetables to the food wholesale, retail, catering and processing sectors. It decided to install a third EZstrip cake pump from Nov Mono when it was having problems with its system of screw augers, steel collection bins, macerators and pumps, which it used to collect and process vegetable peelings before transferring them to an on-site treatment plant.
AB Produce spokesman Carl Woolrich explains: “The location of the system, only a little way off the floor, meant there was very little head of waste forcing its way into the macerators. The system was basically relying on the original pumps below to draw the waste slurry down into the macerators and this was resulting in blockages.
“We realised the Mono EZstrip cake pump offered some very attractive advantages. Mono could provide the pump with a modified inlet blending flange and auger, which helps convey the vegetable waste product into the pump. This increased the flow of slurry through the macerators and into the pump."
