OverviewTo start the packaging process with the liquid packaging machine you must connect the packaging machine to the cooking, mixer or buffer tank and transfer the product using a pump and piping. The pump must be selected according to the product characteristics and the piping must match the facility layout and hygienic requirements.
Pump types- Mono pump
- Lobe pump
- Twin screw pump
- Cavity pump
- Centrifugal pump
Materials & connectionsPiping between the tank and the packaging machine can be stainless steel tubing or food-grade flexible hoses; selection depends on product properties, cleaning method (CIP), and installation constraints.
Applications- Ketchup
- Mayonnaise
- Sauces
- Milk
- Yogurt
- Chocolate
- Jam
- Honey
