The screw centrifugal pumps from Hidrostal enable the gentle pumping of sensitive food. Thanks to the large ball passages, even larger objects can be pumped without damage.
Screw centrifugal pumps for the food industry
Hidrostal invented the screw centrifugal impeller decades ago to pump fish without damage. Since then, they have been the often copied but never reached pioneer in the field of pumping sensitive media. Their broad product portfolio is successfully used in the fruit & vegetable, fish & aquaculture, brewing & wine, sugar, molasses & pastes and slaughterhouse waste pumping sectors. Low operating costs, high efficiency, good cleanability and gentle handling of the products make the Hidrostal screw centrifugal pump a favorite among plant managers.
Diverse application examples
Fish & aquaculture*
The name says it all. Type ‘F’ within the various Hidrostal product ranges actually means ‘fish’ and, with the closed pump impeller used here, is uniquely suitable for pumping live fish.
Algae cultivation
Protein nutrition and energy production of the future is becoming increasingly important through algae production in coastal aquafarms. Hidrostal pumps are ideal for the production and processing of these efficient yet sensitive plants.
Edible oils
Whether rapeseed, sunflower, coconut, peanut, fish or olive oil: gentle, low-shear pumping is essential for the quality and taste of the edible oil. All this is guaranteed by the use of a Hidrostal screw centrifugal pump.
Potatoes & vegetables*
Hidrostal pumps are successfully used for the damage-free transportation, feeding, pitting and washing of potatoes or all types of vegetables and mushrooms. We are also happy to help you with the right feeders.
Lettuce & spinach
Pumping leafy foods such as lettuce or spinach is the pinnacle of food pumping. Feeders, the entire contour of the pump and the operating conditions must prevent the leaves from kinking and tearing. Hidrostal can do this.
Pome & citrus fruits*
Hidrostal’s screw centrifugal impeller proves its strengths when processing large quantities of fruit: no crushing, no damage and gentle handling. This enables you to achieve optimum product quality.
Berries
Berries must be handled gently throughout the entire processing procedure. In order to be able to process large quantities efficiently, cranberry wet harvests, for example, are first flooded together and
collected using a Hidrostal pump.
Breweries*
Pumping beer wort during brewing is a demanding task. High solids concentrations (up to 50%) and temperatures place high demands on the pump. Gentle treatment means that the germination process of the barley remains undisturbed and meets the highest quality standards for the end product, malt.
Gelatine*
Slaughter by-products such as bones, cartilage and blood are processed in the food industry. The Hidrostal pump gently conveys delicate, viscous media, handles liquids with a high solids content and can be used for a wide range of applications, from bone meal to pasty media in various stages of production.
Honey, molasses & pastes
The Hidrostal screw centrifugal pump gently conveys even tough, highly viscous media. In contrast to other systems, it enables continuous and consistent transportation without changing the condition of the
medium, even in extremely demanding production processes.
Viticulture
Grape pumps are used to convey grapes, mash, musts and wines. Gentle handling of the raw materials without damaging or crushing them is the basis for a good wine.
Sugar production
When processing sugar beet pulp and sugar cane, performance and reliability count. Even under the most adverse conditions: Long-fibered, solid-containing and sticky media that must not clog -a prime application for the Hidrostal screw centrifugal pump.
