Thanks to an integrated cutting unit that reduces particle size , the BTM effectively chops and pumps in a single operation
SEEPEX bespoke waste pumping solutions
And by removing a manual element from the process and automating it , food producers are saving on labour costs , too , freeing employees for more lucrative , primary production roles .
Where high care production areas are chilled , removing waste via a simple pipeline rather than manually through doorways , will also assist in reducing energy costs as well as minimising potential contamination from external sources .
BESPOKE OPTIONS FOR MOST CHALLENGING WASTE STREAMS
Where more challenging by-products need to be transported , customised solutions are available . ‘ Bridging ’ can be an issue with certain wastes , so the BTM pump range includes augers with a large pitch that enables the product to be conveyed into the cutting elements to ensure continuous pumping .
Horizontal and vertical grinders can also be integrated , as can stone and knife traps to prevent pump damage , while dewatering devices can help to reduce waste volume even further . Finally , all BTM pump systems can be fitted with Smart Conveying Technology ( SCT ); an innovation from Seepex that enables rapid dismantling and cleaning , increasing pump stator life by up to 200 % and reducing maintenance time by up to 85 %. Pumps fitted with SCT are also suitable for Clean-Out-of-Place ( COP ) or CIP .
