Challenge / Issue
Existing Universal 2 Circumferential Piston (lobe) and Sinusoidal pumps required daily breakdown for cleaning and sanitizing. The cleaning regime took 4 hours every day. A separate centrifugal pump was required to effective clean the pipe work.
Spare parts consumption was excessive due to the constant stripping and re-assembling of the pumps during which time the parts are fatigued, damaged and from time-to-time, lost. A balance of undamaged solid particles and mash guacamole was required to meet the recipe specification.
Solution and Results
A QTS 300 series Twin Screw Pump set with capacity for both product and CIP flows was delivered. This enables both gentle handling of the avocado solids without damage and high-speed velocities for fast and effective CIP.
The client has now gained 1200 hrs of added production capacity every year by eliminating the need to break down pumps for cleaning.
The QTS 300 has also made the separate centrifugal CIP pump redundant. Consumption of spares has so far been eliminated with no seal change with 14 months of constant operation. Proving such a favorable outcome with pump reliability & production capacity, the client has since received delivery of 6 additional pump sets.
