Mepaco's augers and pumping systems eliminate the need for batching by automating product transfers from one point to the next. Stiff, solid products that have little or no slump factor can now be pumped using Mepaco Pumping Systems. Optional load cells can be provided to allow pumping systems to operate as "loss-in-weight" metering systems.
Products/Applications Include:
Course Ground or Emulsified Meats
Block, Ground or Processed Cheeses
Various Dough’s
Butter or Shortening
Pates and Pastes
Mechanically Deboned Meats
Pet Food Formulations
Mepaco pumping and metering systems are available as single or dual auger feed in a low profile hopper with optional leveling ribbon or breaker assembly. The leveling assembly prevents product build-up by moving product away from the discharge end and distributing it along the length of the augers, permitting optimum use of available hopper capacity. Each auger and leveling ribbon is driven by a flange mounted angled gear motor — no chains or sprockets — for maximum accessibility and sanitation. Mepaco's sanitary split shaft seals are also easily accessible for cleaning and maintenance.
