Dairy products rarely come to market instate of primary food raw materials. Usually products are recycled, which requires an appropriate organization of technological processes. Dairies, cheese factories and farms equip special lines for the transfer of liquid products from one site to another. Realization of tasks of this kind requires the use of special equipment, but pumps for milk and dairy products in appropriate modifications are used as the main activators of the process. There are many varieties of such units, each of which is suitable for use at a particular technological stage. Overview of dairy pumps and user reviews about manufacturers will help determine the choice of suitable equipment.
This is the most popular type of dairy.pumps, which is the basis of pumping communications in modern industries. With the help of a centrifugal unit in the standard version, you can serve the milk and similar products in terms of viscosity. When choosing, one should take into account the temperature regime - in most cases it should not exceed 90 ° С. The drive may have different configurations. As a rule, a pump for milk of this type is represented by a single-stage construction, but there are console-monoblock versions and versions with closed blades. Depending on the operating conditions, a choice should be made in favor of this or that mechanism. If the rules of maintenance of technical devices are observed in the working room, then it is possible to prefer an open structure in the simplest modification, but from the point of view of reliability, it is still more profitable to acquire monoblock devices.
Before the main principle of work was considerednon-self-priming, but in recent years, both customers and manufacturers are targeting more technological self-priming units. Such models can be safely purchased to work with milk coming from milk tankers. Self-priming milk pumps are also used for other products with similar viscosity. The ability to independently carry out the capture of the fluid is ensured by the air separator, special blades of the function wheel and the nozzle.
The unit connected to the discharge pipes, inthe process of work fills the fitting to the required level. It is important to take into account one drawback of self-priming models. Compared with outdated counterparts, they are not allowed to work with liquids whose temperature exceeds 50 ° C. For comparison, a non-self-priming pump for milk is able to serve products with a temperature of about 90 ° C.
Especially for work with ryazhenka, sour cream,It is recommended to use rotary three-cam aggregates for processed cheeses and other viscous products. Although in this case it is necessary to take into account some restrictions on the concentration. Standard modifications are usually not allowed for pumping liquids whose temperature exceeds 90 ° C. The advantages possessed by a three-jaw pump for pumping milk, should include versatility. Subject to making appropriate changes in the design and operating parameters, it is possible to obtain an aggregate that will cope with a wide range of dairy products, regardless of the degree of viscosity.
A feature of such models is the ability toperform the cleaning of internal elements without disassembling the structure. Typically, such models are developed on the basis of self-priming single-stage units. For example, open-vortex models that provide for vertical position of nozzles are quite popular. This design prevents liquid spills during downtime. Such a pump is advantageous for pumping milk not only by simplified maintenance, but also by the possibility of stable operation in the most difficult conditions. Units of this type can work with dairy products, the structure of which contains air. The recirculating washing technology, in turn, eliminates the need for regular hygiene and hygiene operations during maintenance.
Рабочий процесс таких моделей предполагает the formation of an air vacuum in the line where the suction takes place. This principle of operation makes the units versatile from the point of view of servicing various liquids. By the way, communications with such technical support are also used to work with detergents, as well as disinfectant solutions. Of course, the milk pump should be used separately from similar tasks, but as an example of the chemical resistance of the aggregates, such applications can be noted. Vacuum models are developed from food-grade stainless metal, and can also be complemented by modern control systems. It remains only to choose performance indicators and structural performance.
На рынке промышленного оборудования можно найти и domestic products for dairy production, and European pumps. As for the Russian manufacturers, the operating companies positively respond to the products of the Tekhnokom and Kurganselmash enterprises, which represent the basic modifications of the most popular pumps. The brand “Sieva” is also quite in demand, under which, in particular, a pump for milk is produced, designed for installation in vacuum-paired complexes. Among the foreign manufacturers are noteworthy brands such as Prolac, Grundfos and TLS. According to users, the developers of these companies do not just qualitatively implement typical models, but also improve pumps in different technological directions.
В процессе выбора любой перекачивающей установки It is important to consider the secondary aspects of operation. For example, for small and start-up enterprises, energy supply indicators are important. The most benign in this respect is a centrifugal pump for milk with a single-stage design, although it may also have different consumption indicators. It is necessary to take into account the characteristics of sound insulation, the quality of sealing joints, the presence of protective surface treatment and other properties of the unit. In the process of long-term use, these factors will be significant in terms of both maintenance and durability.
