Fat Pump for Rendering Plants

The Fat Pump is engineered for transferring hot, high-viscosity animal fats in rendering plants. Also referred to as a tallow pump in rendering and by-product processing operations, this industrial fat pump uses a feed-screw centrifugal design to handle solids up to 40%, prevent clogging, and ensure continuous fat transfer from screw presses and decanters.

Tallow Pump Features & Benefits

High-Solid Handling

Capable of pumping animal fats with up to 40% solids while maintaining stable performance.

Feed-Screw Centrifugal Design

The feed screw pushes viscous fats into the impeller, ensuring smooth operation and reducing downtime.

Long Service Life

Durable construction with wear-resistant options and vibration reduction springs extends equipment lifespan.

Easy Maintenance

Quick access to seals and bearings makes servicing straightforward and cost-effective.

Automation

The Fat Pump can be fully integrated with modern automation systems. It supports remote monitoring, automated flow adjustments, and real-time alerts, reducing manual intervention and improving overall plant efficiency and safety.

How the Tallow Pump Works

Tallow is gravity-fed into a hopper where the feed screw pushes material into the impeller. The impeller then uses centrifugal force to transfer fats with high solid content through the discharge outlet. This design stabilizes NPSH, prevents clogging, and ensures reliable pumping of hot rendered fats directly from screw press or decanter outlets.

Tallow Pump Applications in Rendering Plants

  • Hot Fat Transfer in Rendering Plant Operations

    Fat Pump is widely used for the transfer of hot rendered fats from screw presses and decanters, ensuring continuous flow without clogging.

  • Tallow Transfer to Storage and Refining Systems

    The pump reliably moves high-solid tallow to storage tanks or refining units, maintaining stable throughput and reducing downtime.

  • Continuous Fat Transfer in Production Lines

    In integrated rendering lines, it enables smooth transfer in continuous processing systems, supporting consistent production efficiency.

  • High-Solid Meat By-Product Handling

    The pump handles high-viscosity by-products in meat plants, ensuring reliable transport of fats with solids up to 40%.
