"In industrial food production, waste presents great challenges for the pumping and maceration equipment. Depending on the matter being handled, companies need the right processing chain for their situation. Our new RedUnit combines Vogelsang's tried-and-tested pumps and grinders into a single unit. In this way, we offer individually tailored solutions for trouble-free disposal of food waste," says Harald Vogelsang, Managing Director of Hugo Vogelsang Maschinenbau GmbH.The new RedUnit combines the advantages of Vogelsang's proven XRipper twin-shaft grinder, RotaCut wet macerator and CC-series progressive cavity pump. It allows large quantities of coarse or fine solid matter to be shredded into media that can be easily processed for further use.Vogelsang rotary lobe pumps meet the special requirements of the food and waste management industry. The pumps in the VX series reliably convey abrasive and viscous media containing foreign and fibrous matter. Their design makes them particularly robust and easy to maintain. Plus, they have good priming properties and are resistant to dry running; the flow direction can be easily reversed.The CC (CavityComfort) progressive cavity pump series adds to Vogelsang's pump range. The company says that compared to other products on the market, service and maintenance work on the CC series is significantly faster and easier and takes up less space. There is no need to dismount pipes or individually remove a large number of parts. You can simply replace the entire rotating unit or just the rotor and stator with a new unit.
