Applications

To ensure correct pump operation, it is crucial to pick the right product with respect to the application and the chemical-physical characteristics of the fluid being treated.

Select from a wide range of industries and applications

An industrial context may contain multiple applications and it is required to identify the appropriate pumping system for proper fluid management.

GENERAL INDUSTRY

Glucose

Glucose, also known as dextrose, is a simple carbohydrate often used as a quick energy source in the food industry and medicine. Due to their heavy-duty design for viscous and very viscous fluids, V-series internal gear pumps are particularly suitable for glucose handling. A versatile ingredient, glucose is used in many industrial processes like:

  • Sweetener in food products
  • Binding agent
  • Hickening agent in skin care products
  • Source of sugars for the production of biofuels

RESINS

Resins

Resins are synthetic materials used in a wide range of applications, from the production of construction materials to paints, from adhesives and packaging products to rubbers, with widely diverse and widespread application and production areas:

  • Epoxy resins
  • Rosin
  • Hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin
  • Vinyl resin
  • Polyester resin
  • Melamine resin
  • Polystyrene resin
  • Generic resin

RECYCLING

P. E. T. Washdown and Recycling

PET is a thermoplastic resin commonly used for the production of beverage bottles and containers. Varisco's self-priming centrifugal pumps with electric motor can be used within the PET (polyethylene terephthalate) recycling cycle for handling the washing fluids of plastic waste to be recycled, and for various uses in the sector’s purification plants.

GENERAL INDUSTRY

Bitumen

The Varisco positive displacement internal gear pumps for bitumen application is the perfect choice for moving most bitumen compounds due to their mechanical and construction characteristics and their flexibility in handling different viscous and abrasive fluids:

  • Bitumen emulsion
  • Asphalt production
  • Thermal insultation
  • Acoustic insulation
  • Bitumen additives
  • Roofing shingles
  • Coating
  • Waterproofing
  • Pitch
  • Tar
  • Heavy fuels
  • Diathermic oils

WASTEWATER

Sewage plants

For water treatment, from purification to the treatment of aggressive and particularly charged liquids, Varisco self priming centrifugal pumps are the ideal solution thanks to the design of materials resistant to the chemical aggression of substances contained and the option of pumping fluids with suspended solids:

  • Purification systems
  • Sewer by-pass
  • Landfills
  • Washdown
  • Fume abatement
  • Sewage pumping stations
  • Industrial wastewater treatment

FOOD & BEVERAGE

Chocolate

Chocolate is a delicate and temperamental product that requires precise handling, especially during pumping. Maintaining the right temperature and viscosity is crucial to prevent crystallization, thickening, or separation of cocoa butter. If chocolate cools too much, it can harden and clog equipment; if overheated, it can lose its smooth texture and develop off-flavors.

The robust construction and easy maintenance of Varisco internal gear V pumps make the series a reliable choice for chocolate processing industries. These pumps are designed for use in the preliminary phases of food processing and they are compliant with EC Regulation 1935/2004. For the hygienic or sanitary production phases, additional certifications may be required, such as EN 1672-2, EHEDG, or 3A.
