Heavy Duty Hopper Pump
Heavy Duty Hopper Pump

Heavy-Duty Hopper Pump

Our Heavy-Duty Hopper Pump is a portable Eccentric Hopper Pump designed specifically for the Oenological industry. This pump excels in pumping viscous and non-flowing media, as well as fluids with very high solids content. Featuring a large eccentric rectangular hopper, auger feed screw, and integrated trolley, these pumps, constructed from Stainless Steel AISI 304 as standard, offer versatility in their design. This allows for adaptation to various heavy-duty applications, including Oenological applications in connection with destemmers.

Typical applications for our Heavy-Duty Hopper Pump:

  • Crushed Grapes (with & without stalks)
  • Grapes
  • Wine Lees
  • Pomace
  • Must
Overview

With the drive directly coupled to the pump via a flange, this pump is an ideal solution for Oenological applications. This cost-effective and compact pump offers reduced installation costs with simplified maintenance requirements. The stress generated by the hydraulic section is supported by the drive itself, while each drive used is chosen based on their specific technical parameters (subject to duration tests with heavy loads).

Features & Benefits
  • Compliance: CE-compliant and ATEX-rated for use in hazardous environments
  • Self-Priming: The hydraulic parts of these Hopper Pumps enable excellent self-priming (up to 7m)
  • Patented Pin Joint: The pin-type joint, a core component, offers enhanced durability and reduced maintenance costs. Its unique design allows for the subdivision of axial loads and torque
  • Solids Handling: These pumps ensure efficient pumping of highly viscous and non-flowing substances, including those with high solids content
  • Low Pulsating Flows: Tensional stress and pulsating flows are minimised, reducing the centrifugal effect. Low operating speed and axial development contribute to stable performance
  • Shaft Sealing: Two-seal system for wine applications with easy accessibility
  • Trolley: integrated for added portability
  • Motorisations: Tested electric and hydraulic motors for reliable performance
