PRL - Lobe pump
Machine designed to dose soft fillings with a lobe pump.
Filling is loaded on the hopper, where a rod-breaker system pushes it towards a screw that feeds the lobes placed below. The lobes are pulled thanks to a gearmotor controlled with inverter which doses the product on the next machine in line.
In order to ease the washing process, the PRL presents different features. It has a stainless steel structure, a safety top grid hinged, a stainless steel hinged hopper, a rotating system with scraper to ensure product removal from the inside walls of the hopper, removable pushing screw, and helicoidal dosing lobes in detectable plastic, which resets the pulsation of doses of the pump. The frame is equipped with wheels to facilitate the movement of the machine.
The PRL can work with soft fillings with humidity going from 45% to 70%.
