In-Tank or In-Line Vaction™ Pump
Did you know that there are two types of Vaction Pump?
We offer our patented Steam Infusion Vaction Pump as a component across the world, direct to food manufacturers and through our global network of distributors. There is a choice of component depending on the needs of your application - find out if you’d benefit from an In-Tank or an In-Line Vaction Pump.
Steam Infusion In-Tank Vaction Pump
In-Tank Vaction Pump
Our In-Tank Vaction Pump comes in just one size - 47mm (1.85 inch) - and can be used to cook batch sizes of between 500L to 3000L (132-793 gallons) up to temperatures of 95°C (140°F). Thanks to the unrestricted bore, the Pump can process particulates up to 20mm (0.8 inches) without causing any damage so you can deliver ‘chunky’ products that will appeal to consumers.
This can be a great option if:
You’re looking to double the capacity of your existing batch cooking operations
You want to use Steam Infusion in your test centre as it’s perfect for product testing during the R&D phase
You need to extend the life of your steam-jacketed vessels - the In-Tank Vaction Pump can be easily retrofitted into old vessels to breathe new life into your operations.
We also specify our In-Tank Vaction Pump in our Robot Chef - ideal if you’re looking to achieve the ultimate efficiency in your batch operations!
Steam Infusion In-Line Vaction Pump
In-Line Vaction Pump
Our In-Line Vaction Pump comes in three sizes depending on the needs of your application. Choose either the 13mm, 25mm or 47mm (0.5 inch, 0.98 inch or 1.85 inch) to achieve throughputs from 400L/hr to 55,000L/hr (105gallons/hr - 14,530 gallons/hr), reaching temperatures of up to 140°C (284°F). Depending on which size is in place, particulates of up to 20mm (0.8 inches) can be passed through the system without damage, allowing you to maintain or enhance the texture and appearance that consumers love.
The In-Line system would be ideally suited to your application if:
You require a continuous production system
You’re looking to replace an existing heating method such as a heat exchanger or direct steam injector due to the limitations of these technologies
You need to produce high volumes in a compact space
It can also be used in batch operations when used in a recirculation loop should there be any challenges with installing the In-Tank Pump in your vessel or around existing equipment such as agitators etc.
