Product catalog summary
Pumping Solutions Overview
Mepaco® offers pumping solutions as an alternative to traditional material handling methods such as dumping, screw, or belt conveying. These solutions are designed to provide efficient and effective product delivery while maintaining product integrity.
Pump-Feeders
The pump-feeders are equipped with NEMA 4x controls, multistep control packages, heavy-duty drive upgrades, and full temperature control. They also feature storage and data acquisition capabilities and a Human Machine Interface (HMI). Customization options include single or dual agitators, heating or cooling jackets, insulation, vacuum construction systems, and various cover options. The design ensures a 'first in – first out' product delivery to prevent shear and temperature rise.
Pumping
The PosiFlo Automatic Chub Feeder integrates with various chub packaging systems, providing a reliable pump feeding unit.
Vacuum Stuffer
The Mepaco® Vacuum Stuffer is designed to maintain full vacuum, enhancing product density and yield. It features adaptable feed pressure, simple operation, and control through a Deaeration Enhancing Inlet Valve (DEIV). The stuffer includes a power-operated cover, onboard load sensing system, and a combination solid flight/paddle agitator. It also has a large capacity hydraulic oil heat exchanger and a NEMA 4X control enclosure.
Specifications
The Vacuum Stuffer has a length of 98 inches, width of 47 inches, and a height of 86 inches when open. It has a deaeration chamber capacity of 24 cu ft and can handle a maximum pressure of 150 psi. The electric power unit includes a 20 HP gearmotor, and the vacuum pump is 5 HP. Air requirements are 2 cu ft at 100 psi per cover opening, with an outlet size of 3 inches.

PUMPING-1

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 • Heating or cooling jackets • Vacuum construction system • Cover options: split, rear or side hinge, and slide • Variable speed drives • Vacuum construction • Vacuum cooling package • Electropolished interior finish • CIP seal assemblies, spray balls • NEMA 4x controls: recipe and batch • Multistep control packages • Heavy-duty drive upgrade • Full temperature control • Storage and data Acquisition • HMI (Human Machine Interface) Electropolished food contact surfaces The PosiFlo Automatic Chub Feeder is a pump feeding unit that integrates with a variety of chub packaging systems.

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...
