Precautions for the application of single screw pumps in the food industry
The application of single screw pumps in the food industry has broad prospects, but in order to ensure the safety and hygiene of food, some key issues must be noted:
1.Cleaning and disinfection: When applying single screw pumps in the food industry, attention must be paid to cleaning and disinfection. Before and after each use, the pump body, screw and other parts must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to ensure that there are no residues and bacteria.
2.Corrosion resistance: Since the raw materials and finished products in the food industry are often corrosive, the material of the single screw pump must have good corrosion resistance. At the same time, during use, the corrosion of the pump should be checked regularly, and if there is corrosion, it should be dealt with in time.
3.Precipitation and drying: When the single screw pump is not used for a long time, liquid precipitation or drying may occur. Therefore, before reusing it, the pump body and screw must be thoroughly cleaned to ensure that there is no sediment and drying.
4.Flow and pressure control: During the food delivery process, the flow and pressure of the single screw pump should be reasonably controlled according to different food characteristics and process requirements. Avoid excessive or too small flow and pressure to cause adverse effects on food.
Temperature control: For foods that need to maintain a specific temperature, such as ice cream, yogurt, etc., the single screw pump should pay attention to temperature control during the transportation process. Accurate control of food temperature can be achieved through external cooling or heating devices.
