echnical Highlights of KOLEBURG Pumps

Clogging Prevention & Reliability

Technical highlight of KOLEBURG: Unique pump impeller design

Unique Rotating Centrifugal Impeller

A large channel diameter will prevent it from becoming blocked.

Spiral centrifugal pumps have excellent anti-clogging properties. Their open, large-diameter channels provide high efficiency and anti-clogging properties, making it easy to transport bulk solids and long-fiber materials.

The spiral section produces a spiral propulsion effect, and the blade edge of the impeller is sickle-shaped. The replenishment of the blades gradually increases along the wheel direction, guiding the liquid flow and pipe objects to move near the axis. Additionally, the spiral action propels them along the collection into the centrifugal section while providing superior suction capabilities and reduced cavitation.

FAQ about animal glue pumps KOLEBURG recommends animal glue pumps for you

What is an Animal Glue Transfer Pump?

What is an Animal Glue Transfer Pump

An animal glue transfer pump is a specialized conveying device tailored to the unique characteristics of animal glue production media, such as high viscosity, high temperature, and solid particle content (e.g., bone meal, skin residue). Different from conventional fluid pumps, it adopts optimized impeller structures (e.g., spiral design) and widened flow channels to prevent clogging by solid particles. Meanwhile, it uses high-temperature and corrosion-resistant materials to adapt to the harsh operating environment of animal glue extraction (60-120℃) and acid-alkaline cleaning processes.
In animal glue production, animal glue transfer pumps must meet three core requirements: first, excellent high-viscosity medium conveying capacity, which can stably transport animal glue liquid with a viscosity ranging from 10,000 to 1,000,000 CPS; second, strict food-grade hygiene compliance, ensuring that media-contact materials meet standards such as FDA 21 CFR Part 177 to avoid contaminating the final product; third, strong wear and corrosion resistance, adapting to the abrasion of solid particles in bone meal/skin residue slurry and the corrosion of acid-alkaline cleaning agents. The reliability of animal glue transfer pumps directly determines the continuity of production lines and the stability of product quality.

How to Ensure Long-Term Stable Operation of Animal Glue Production Pumps?

How to Ensure Long-Term Stable Operation of Animal Glue Production Pumps

Scientific operation and maintenance are crucial for extending pump service life, ensuring product quality, and reducing production costs. Combined with the characteristics of animal glue production (high viscosity, high temperature, complex media), the following targeted management strategies are proposed:

1. Key Points of Daily Inspection and Monitoring

  • Real-time monitor pump flow, head, motor current, and medium temperature; install intelligent sensors for abnormal alarms (over-temperature, over-current, leakage)
  • Check for media leakage at seals and flanges; stop the machine immediately for maintenance if leakage occurs to avoid product contamination
  • Regularly clean the pump inlet filter screen to prevent blockage by bone meal and skin residue, which may affect suction efficiency
  • Monitor pump noise and vibration; abnormal noise or excessive vibration may indicate impeller blockage or bearing wear
