Apple Pumping



APPLE PUMPING

30 TONNES AN HOUR

Ambit, have recently completed a pumping system handling 30 tonnes per hour of apples. The system received apples direct from the washing systems and transported it to a 6 metre high to a hopper inlet.
Prior to entering the specially designed pump tank the apples were inspected on a roller inspection conveyor, for removal of defective product.

The design allowed for a water flow up to 350 cubic metres per hour. A high water to product ratio is essential in preventing product damage. Even when handling more robust products we maintain high ratios.

Ambits expertise ensures that buoyant product is flumed down into the pump suction. This is why the specially designed tank differs from designs used on product such as potatoes, which are heavier than water and sink down to the pump suction.

Pumping systems have several advantages where long distance, space and cleaning can make conveying expensive and difficult.

Ambit pumping systems have successfully handles product such as, Citrus Fruit whole and peeled, Peas, Green Beans, Root Vegetables, Bean sprouts, Mushrooms, Pasta and Salad Vegetables.
