PUMPING CHOCOLATE: HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT PUMP

When it comes to chocolate processing, every detail is crucial to preserve the quality of the final product. One of the most critical stages in the process is definitely the transfer of liquid chocolate, which requires the use of industrial pumps to meet the technical challenges. But what are these challenges, and how can a pump make the difference?

THE CHALLENGES OF CHOCOLATE PROCESSING

Chocolate is a unique material, with characteristics that make it particularly difficult to pump:

- Variable viscosity: Depending on the temperature and stage of the process, chocolate can be extremely viscous or more fluid. A pump must handle this variability without compromising flow.
- Temperature: The chocolate must be kept within a very narrow temperature range to avoid crystallization or burning, which would compromise its quality and consistency.
- Food compatibility: The construction materials of pumps must comply with the strict hygiene regulations of the food industry.
- Product sensitivity: Excessive handling or aggressive cutting can alter the structure of the chocolate, compromising its quality.

ESPANGO & AGI POMPE SOLUTIONS

To meet these challenges, it is crucial to choose specific pumps, designed to work efficiently with viscous and delicate materials such as chocolate. Some of our proposals:

PACKO ZL lobe pump

- Ideal for processing viscous products.
- Hygienic design compliant with food standards (EHEDG).
- Ensures a gentle flow, preserving the quality of chocolate.

PACKO ZS Double screw pump

- Perfect for handling both liquid and high viscosity chocolate.
- Self-priming, therefore ideal for phases where it is necessary to aspirate residues.
- Wear-resistant, with low maintenance cost.

JP 700 H Eccentric screw pump

- Capable of handling precise flows even with high viscosity chocolate.
- Modular design for easy maintenance.
- Long life even in intense work environments.
