Transfer hopper with stainless Pd pump for food processing

Eliminate spillage and maintain continuous flow with a positive displacement transfer hopper, efficiently connecting mixers to storage or production lines in high-speed food processing operations.

Transfers and Pumps Solid and Slurry Products

The Transfer Hopper with Stainless PD Pump from Cozzini is designed to seamlessly integrate into your emulsion processing line, efficiently facilitating the high-speed transport and pumping of solids and slurry products. By positioning the hopper directly under mixers, it negates the need for elevation to discharge product, allowing for streamlined operation in pet food, processed meats, protein blends, and sauce production. With capacities up to 20,000 lbs and transfer rates reaching 1,000 lbs per minute, it is ideal for high-volume operations such as canned dog food, chicken nuggets, and mayonnaise production. The system is powered by either electric or hydraulic pumps, including the PD650, and features a pivoting pump base for enhanced sanitation. Constructed from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance and complies with USDA and CE standards, adhering to AMI sanitary equipment design. Cozzini’s engineering support also allows customization to fit specific application needs, ensuring a tailored solution for continuous, efficient production.

Benefits

  • Increases production efficiency by enabling continuous, high-speed transfer without the need to elevate mixers.
  • Minimizes product spillage with its design that fully spans mixer discharge areas.
  • Ensures compliance with sanitization standards, reducing contamination risks.
  • Enhances operational flexibility with options for electric or hydraulic power.
  • Facilitates easy cleaning and maintenance with a pivoting pump base.
