Ice cream maker pumps up the volume
27 May 2010
London – Hungarian ice cream manufacturer Magic Ice has substantially increased productivity through the installation of a Verderflex Smart F30 tube pump, which can double production by accommodating several pump heads.
Currently Magic Ice has a twin head Verderflex Smart F30 on its production line. The pump, however, can be expanded up to four heads, providing the potential for future expansion. Each head delivers the same flow rate as they all run at the same speed from a single drive.
The Verderflex unit is designed for applications that require frequent tube changes because the pump has a special top-loading tube clamping mechanism that facilitates tube changeovers.
At Magic Ice. the pumped milk product remains within the sterilised tubing at all times and does not come into contact with any of the pump’s moving parts. There are no moving parts to clog, reducing maintenance time and increasing profitability.
The pump also provides Magic Ice with precise dosing and metering, with a typical repeatability of ±1% and metering capabilities of ±5%. A single F30 pump head is capable of flow rates up to 6,900 ml/min whilst the larger Verderflex Smart F40 pump delivers single channel flows up to 27,000 ml/min.
