Food-grade screw pump can be used to fill and dispense food products into containers. The pump can be used to fill bottles, jars, and other containers with accuracy and precision. This feature saves time and ensures that the products are filled to the correct level.
The Pressure of the Food-grade screw pump is Determined:
The maximum output pressure of the Food-grade screw pump is determined based on the number of guides of the jersey level, that is, the number of bands:
Level 1 Food-grade screw pump: high work pressure is 0.6 mPa;
Level 2 Food-grade screw pump: High work pressure is 1.2 MPA;
Level 4 Food-grade screw pump: high work pressure is 2.4 mPa;
Due to the different situations of the Food-grade screw pump conveying medium, for the medium that contains severe wear, please refer to the number of band -grade levels.
Table 1: Choose the jujiao level according to the wear of the medium
Wear first | Level | Two levels |
No | 0.6MPa | 1.2MPa |
Generally | 0.4MPa | 0.8MPa |
Severe | 0.2MPa | 0.4MPa |
Table 2: Choose the Food-grade screw pump speed according to the abrasion of the medium
Wear | Media Name | Rotating speed (rpm) |
NO | Freshwater, coagulants, oil, slurry, meat foam, paint, soapy water, blood, glycerin | 200-400 |
Generally | Mud, suspended solution, industrial wastewater, paint pigment, waste silk water (sugar), mash, fish, wheat bran, rapeseed oil sediment | 100-300 |
Serious | Lumper slurry, clay, mud, pottery | 50-150 |
* When the specifications of the pump are large, the speed should be lower.
* The special cases that are delivered and their wear characteristics are given in the table. Please note that the characteristics of the medium change with the change of the concentration and temperature.
Table 3: Select the pump speed according to the medium viscosity
Medium viscosity (cst) | 1-1000 | 1000-10000 | 10000-100000 | 100000-1000000 |
Rotating speed (rpm) | 200-400 | 100-300 | <200 | <100 |
* You must also be based on experience when choosing a speed, because some other factors also affect the choice of speed. At the end, it is best to negotiate with the manufacturer while determining the above values.
