Listing description

General Packaging Equipment Model LPD25 LIQUID POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT PUMP...

OPERATIONAL SYNOPSIS:
This gear pump liquid filling machine operates on the principal of a positive displacement (PD) pump with two gears rotating inside a pump housing to move liquids in from a hopper and out through a fill tube. As with any positive displacement pump, this approach is best used for viscous liquids such as sauces, fats and oils, shear sensitive liquids, slurries, emulsified liquids, batters, frostings, flavorings, baby foods, fruit puree, puddings, jams, jellies, dressings, syrups, creams and lotions, shampoos, pastes, etc, etc.

Every revolution of the pump drive shaft draws a prescribed amount of liquid through the pump.

Inside the pump are two gears; one on top attached to the drive shaft and another below it attached to an idler shaft. Liquid, brought in from the hopper through the suction port, surrounds the gears and is driven through the discharge port as the gears turn.

The pump is driven by a variable speed drive which is turned on and off for each fill.

The amount of product dispensed is controlled by a timer and a pulse encoder which is driven by a belt and a timing pulley on the motor shaft.

The amount of product dispensed and rate of product flow is regulated via the operator control box.
