Mepaco RELIABLE BY DESIGN Mepaco® pumping solutions provide an alternative material handling option to the traditional methods of dumping, screw or belt conveying. Mepaco® Pump Feeders provide low-profile surge capacity where space is limited. Depending on the application, an optional leveling ribbon can be added to prevent bridging or recirculation of product. The benefit of a Mepaco® Pump Feeder design is to provide a "first in - first out" product delivery to mitigate shear, temperature rise or other changes that would impact product integrity. APPLICATION CUSTOMIZATION • Single or dual agitators...

MepacoRELIABLE BY DESIGNVACUUM STUFFER The Mepaco® Vacuum Stuffer is designed to pull and maintain full vacuum (29" Hg.) The stuffer gently agitates product in its vacuum chamber to expose more area to deaeration, which results in greater density and yield. It also prepares the product for gas or vacuum packaging with better color and shelf life. Adaptable Feed Pressure The speed of the metering pump is adaptable from 0 to 100% in order to maintain the set feed pressure for satisfying the demands of downstream devices. Simple Operation and Control The product continuously feeds through a Deaeration...
