Challenges of Product Transfer: Understanding the Issues Related to the Materials of Your Products
In the industrial sector, product transfer is a crucial step that can influence quality, safety, pace, and operational efficiency. However, the specific characteristics of products can lead to various challenges. Here is an overview of the main issues encountered during product transfer based on their material.
Temperature Sensitivity & Conveying
Many products, especially those made from organic or perishable materials, require strict temperature control during transfer to prevent bacterial growth or loss of quality. Therefore, it is essential to have suitable transport systems. Our transfer pumps take into account the temperature that needs to be maintained and are designed for this purpose.
Sensitive Products Pneumatic Transfer
Sensitive products, such as feet and livers, are more fragile and can be easily damaged during transfer. This is why we have created the Gibair for low-pressure transfer, as well as the Gibpompe syringe-type pump for transfer without the risk of damaging the product.
Clogging Issues with Viscous or Sticky Products Conveying
Viscous or sticky products, such as certain food items, can cause blockages in transfer systems. This can create clogs in the piping, slowing down the process and leading to production losses.
With our pumps designed for this type of problem, we have enabled industries to eliminate the fear of clogs in their piping. This is made possible by our sonic effect, which allows for strong and rapid movement within the piping.
Soft or Flexible Products
Soft products, such as skin, feet, and heads, can easily get stuck together and create a blockage in the piping.
Cross-Contamination
During the transfer of food products, the risk of cross-contamination is high. Strict cleaning and product separation protocols must be implemented to ensure food safety.
Our pumps are equipped with NEP/CIP systems for precise cleaning, and all our products are designed for biosafety.
Long Distances Pipe Transfer
Industries often face expansions, new facilities, or new production lines, which necessitate modifications for product transfer. During an expansion or when dealing with very long production lines, it becomes problematic for your transfers because the distance is significant, and your current pumps may not exceed a certain transfer distance.
We have designed transfer pumps that allow for unlimited transfer distances; they can also transfer products through piping from one factory to another.
Your Turn
The transfer of products based on their material presents unique challenges that require special attention.
