ARO Dry powder transfer pump
Vacuum pumping systems of confectionery factories today require frequent maintenance, are expensive, and pose a high risk of explosion when the pump is overheated. Therefore, the ARO dry powder transfer pump was born to overcome these problems.
The Problem
Vacuum pumps are commonly used in the commercial baking process, but they are very sensitive to overload. Buildup in the filters causes the pumps to overheat, resulting in frequent downtime and wasted raw materials. Plus, maintenance and replacement of the vacuum pump system is expensive.
Foreign confectionery companies have gradually turned to safer and smarter solutions.
The Solution
The ARO 2″ powder pump was able to transfer more than 120 kg (nearly 265 lbs) of cornmeal within 10 minutes!
Not only did the ARO pump outperform the vacuum pump, the savings were obvious. Two ARO powder pumps cost less than the entire vacuum pump system and mechanical gear systems previously installed.
More advantages for the bakery company included:
- pneumatic technology, which won’t overheat like electrical components
- “plug and play” installation
- easy maintenance
- ATEX certified equipment to ensure safety in a dusty atmosphere
- no filters required
- high flow in a compact pump
- 3″ powder pump model available when even bigger flow rates are required
- little to no downtime
- replacement parts readily available at a distributor’s warehouse
