Pumping shear sensitive chocolates or chocolates with edible solids (fruits or nuts) with a conventional gear pump can damage the product. The Tuthill Heavy Duty (HD) positive displacement circumferential piston pump utilizes external timing gears to synchronize rotation of single or double lobe impellers to create a pumping environment with no contact between rotating and stationary equipment.
Finished chocolates used for molding or enrobing (chocolate coating) are easier pump. The Tuthill GlobalGear pump is an economic yet powerful solution to these lower-pressure applications.
