Pumping Equipment
Food pumps are used throughout the food and beverage industries to transfer, mix and dose fluid and semi-fluid substances in processing and production applications. Pumps for food processing are manufactured from food grade materials and have smooth surfaces to prevent contamination from food and bacteria buildup.
PrimeMove Air Pump
Ideal for whole muscle meat and poultry applications, soups and chilies, processed foods, pet foods, whole berries, vegetables, pie fillings, wine mash, cheese curds and sauces, the Air Pump (CAP) can handle your food pumping applications without bruising or shearing. Available in various pump sizes, Air Pump can pump compressible solids up to 6" (152 mm) in diameter while preserving product integrity and increasing process yield. Perhaps you are introducing a pump into your process for the first time and have concerns about damage to product. Or maybe you are already experiencing an unacceptable amount of pump damage. In either case, the gentle flow, non-damaging Air Pump may fit your needs.
PrimeMove Air Pump

PrimeMove Stuffing Hopper With Stainless Positive Displacement Pump
Stuffing Hoppers (CSH) are designed to integrate seamlessly into today's high volume, continuous processing lines. Direct-discharge valving systems enable CSH units to automatically receive product from upstream units. This greatly reduces or in many cases, completely eliminates human labor associated with handling and transporting of product, thus eliminating product contamination. The modular CSH system can be custom configured from one to multiple chamber units and can be equipped with numerous options to maximize the efficiency of your specific operation. Our CSH units are especially useful when incorporated into a complete emulsion/reduction line.
PrimeMove Stuffing Hopper With Stainless Positive Displacement Pump
- Each hopper utilizes an independent hydraulically driven, stainless steel, positive displacement (PD) pump.
- Bypass valves are completely eliminated and steady line pressures of 70-80 psi (4.8-5.5 bars) are maintained for exact finished product weight.
- Custom designed hoppers to fit your production requirements and floor plan.
- Quick-release coupling device between hopper throat and PD pump and easily accessible pump rotors for thorough sanitation.
- USDA accepted and CE approved. Built in conformity with AMI sanitary equipment design principles.
PrimeMove Transfer Hopper with Stainless PD Pump
The custom designed Transfer Hopper with PD Pump fits cleanly under a mixer / blender in a emulsion line. Designed to transfer to a storage silo or other large vessel, the transfer hopper easily spans the width of the mixer discharge area to eliminate product spillage. The powerful positive displacement pump eliminates the need to elevate the upstream equipment to fully empty a mixer. Pump silos can store enough blended material to continuously feed the emulsion system. When used downstream of the emulsifier, the transfer hopper can provide a continuous feed into stuffers or linkers.
PrimeMove Transfer Hopper with Stainless PD Pump
- Capacities to fit your application with sizes up to 20,000 lbs. (9,100 kg)
- Transfer rates up to 1,000 lbs/minute (450 kg/min.) using our PD650 pump
- Eliminates the need to elevate the upstream equipment to fully empty a mixer
- Available with our 500, 575 or 650 PD pumps depending on the application
- Electric or hydraulic powered pump
- Pivoting pump base for easy sanitation
- USDA accepted and CE approved. Built in conformity with AMI sanitary equipment design
PrimeMove VSS-3 Vacuum Stuffing / Filling System
When it comes to high volume, continuous-flow, vacuum stuffing and filling applications, the Vacuum Stuffer (VSS) series stands in a performance class by itself. With the unique VSS design, improved / consistent finished product vacuum levels and high volume flow rates are ensured. The VSS utilizes dependable hydraulic power. A fully integrated heat exchanger keeps hydraulic fluid cool for dependable operation even under extended periods of heavy usage. From fine emulsions and coarse reductions, to sectioned, whole muscle mixtures, VSS brings a new level of efficiency and economy to any high volume stuffing / filling system.
PrimeMove VSS-3 Vacuum Stuffing / Filling System
- Vacuum stuffing capacity: Up to 28,000 lbs. (12,700 kg) per hour, depending on product.
- Variable speed vane pump, feedscrew and agitator are powered by a heavy-duty hydraulic drive system.
- Vacuum cover opens and closes pneumatically. For operator safety, an interlock device prevents the lid from accidental closure.
- Quick and easy vacuum loading.
- USDA accepted and CE approved. Built in conformity with AMI sanitary equipment design principles.
