Conveying FDA-compliant gelatin

Gelatin with a viscosity of approximately 1,400 mPas is transferred from stainless steel tanks to holding tanks. Bubble-free conveyance and low shear forces are critical for product quality.

Solution
F 560 S FOOD progressive cavity pump and SEW spur gear drive motor

Task

Transfer gelatin with a viscosity of approximately 1,400 mPas from various stainless steel containers into a holding tank. The structure of the medium must be preserved, and the transfer must be carried out in a uniform and controlled manner.

Requirements
  • Flow rate: 5–30 l/min, adjustable  
  • Air-bubble-free delivery  
  • Low shear forces  
  • FDA-compliant design  
  • Easy to clean
Solution in Detail

The F 560 S FOOD progressive cavity pump is used as a mobile unit inside the tank. In combination with a speed-controlled helical gear motor, it enables air-bubble-free, gentle product handling with adjustable flow rates.
