Challenge

An Italian food producer needed a solution to empty 200 kg drums of double concentrated tomatoes directly into preparation batches. The product is highly viscous, with a high Brix degree, generating significant pressure drops in delivery pipes. Additionally, the solution had to comply with EC 1935/2004 food contact regulations.

Benefits

  • Efficient and rapid emptying of highly viscous tomato paste
  • Compliance with strict food safety regulations
  • Low product loss (<2%)
  • Simple operation and easy cleaning
