Unifiller - Transfer Pump

• Transferring viscous food products such as batters, creams, and purees within a production line.
• Filling depositors or hoppers with consistent volumes of product.
• Moving ingredients from bulk containers to processing vessels.
• Handling delicate food items with minimal shear or damage.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes per hour, depending on product viscosity and pump configuration.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type are 3-phase industrial power supplies, typically 400V, 50Hz.

Materials of construction

Wetted parts are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Pump type

Unifiller pumps are often positive displacement piston pumps, known for their accuracy and ability to handle thick products.

Footprint

A typical footprint for a standalone unit of this type might be around 800mm (L) x 600mm (W) x 1200mm (H), though this can vary.

Control system

Units commonly feature basic controls for start/stop and flow rate adjustment, often with a simple HMI or push-button interface.

• What types of products can this pump handle?

  These pumps are generally designed for viscous and semi-viscous food products, including batters, fillings, sauces, and creams. They are less suited for thin liquids or products with large, hard particulates.

• Is this pump suitable for continuous operation?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used transfer pump?

• Can this pump be integrated into an existing production line?

• Are spare parts readily available for Unifiller pumps?

Depositing and extruding pumps for food processing are valued for their reliability and precision in handling batters, creams, and pastes. Buyers typically prioritise units with stainless steel construction and consistent flow rates suited to their specific products. When purchasing used equipment, inspecting seals, gaskets and internal components for wear is essential, as these affect product quality and hygiene standards. Well-maintained units from reputable manufacturers generally deliver strong longevity, making them sensible investments for production facilities seeking cost-effective solutions.
