Key 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.

Working Principle

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.

Applications

  • 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.

  • Storage and Refining

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

  • Continuous Production Systems

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

  • Meat By-Product Handling

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

  • Broader Industry Applications

    Beyond rendering, the pump is also applied in food processing, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, where stable fat and grease transport is essential.
