Challenges in meat and fish processing

 

Transfer of viscous and abrasive products 

The transfer of viscous and abrasive products such as mechanically separated meat (MSM) and animal meal requires suitable pumping solutions. PCM offers EcoMoineau™ progressive cavity pumps designed for this type of process, ensuring smooth and continuous handling of these materials while minimizing wear and tear on equipment.

Compliance with hygiene standards

In the food industry, hygiene requirements are extremely strict, especially for the meat and fish market. PCM pumps, such as the PCM HyFeed pump, which meets European and US regulations (EC 1935/2004 and FDA) and EHEDG certified, is designed to ensure optimal food safety, complying with European and American standards.

Improved productivity and reduced costs 

 PCM pumping solutions optimize industrial processes by reducing the overall cost of use (Life Cycle Cost). By minimizing downtime and facilitating maintenance, our pumps help improve the productivity of production lines, especially in the food and beverage market.

Typical applications in the meat and fish industry

Meat Processing 

Meat processing includes critical steps such as slaughter, cutting and recovery of viscera and by-products (blood, fat).  PCM's progressive cavity pumps and peristaltic pumps ensure smooth and safe transfer of these materials, while maintaining rigorous hygiene standards.

Mechanically separated meat (MSM)

The transfer of VSM, a highly viscous product, requires robust pumps. The PCM EasyFeed and PCM HyFeed hopper feeder pumps are ideal for handling these challenging products, ensuring a constant flow even under high pressure conditions. 

Transfer of liquid eggs

Liquid egg transfer is a delicate application requiring pumps that respect the integrity of the product. PCM solutions, such as the PCM HyCare™ pump, help maintain viscosity and avoid the risk of bacterial contamination thanks to a hygienic design, meet European and US regulations (EC 1935/2004 and FDA), EHEDG or 3A.
