OK Snacks using Landia Chopper pumps

25 August 2010

The Chopper pumps have eliminated the clogging of fats and pieces of pig skin in the manufacture of Pork Scratchings which were causing equipment breakdown.

Landia installed a reception tank and placed an external Chopper Pump near the bottom. A recirculation system was also introduced, which allows the Landia pump to chop and then re-circulate the hard-to-handle medium through a nozzle in the tank.

After recirculation and chopping, the homogenous mixture is pumped to a tanker truck. Since the installation by Landia, there have been no breakdowns. This is due to a specially designed knife system which is clearly separated from the pump casing and the impeller. Because chopping takes place before the pork scratching medium enters the pump, it means that the piping, casing, impeller and sealing system remain unworn and undamaged.
