Hydro-flo food processing pump for vegetable transfer
Optimize food handling with a gentle, space-saving pump that protects delicate products while efficiently transporting, washing, and elevating them with minimal waste and mechanical wear.
Pumps and Conveys Food Products Gently
The Hydro-Flo Food Processing Pump from Key Technology is designed to transform your food processing operations. This pump leverages water as a transport medium, providing gentle product handling that minimizes mechanical damage. Suitable for a wide range of applications including dairy, confectionery, and poultry, it efficiently manages products from chocolate truffles to wet dog food. Operating with a continuous automated process, it conveys and elevates products, incorporating a reclaim reel to remove primary waste. Its flexibility extends to preheating or cooling products within a compact footprint compared to traditional conveyors. A PLC-controlled system augments integration with existing lines, and its stainless steel construction ensures durability and corrosion resistance across diverse environments. Configuration and engineering support are available to tailor the system for specific production requirements, ensuring seamless alignment with your operational goals.
