CASE STUDY:

Beverage Blending

Challenge

The pulsing flow of the beverage ingredients provided by the lobe style pumps did not provide a continuous blend and resulted in poor product consistency.

Solution

Two Universal 2 Series pumps (model U2-030) were installed and connected in parallel. One pump moved sucrose from a source tank to a continuous blend system while the second pump transferred high fructose corn syrup to the same skid-mounted blending system.

Result

The External Circumferential Piston (“ECP”) style rotors on the U2 pump provide an accurate, pulse-free flow assuring that the products are metered smoothly into the blend system with accuracies of up to +/- 0.1% depending on product viscosity and flow rates.
