Long term reliability in pumping at
Parripak Foods
Eight Mono NOV progressing cavity pumps have been performing efficiently at Parripak Foods for over two years, particularly for the viscous and bulky materials such as in potato waste slurry
The most recently installed, a Mono Widethroat pump, transfers potato waste slurry away from the food production site to their effluent treatment plant Parripak Foods supplies whole, peeled, julienne or puree vegetables to manufacturers of the chilled section in ready made meals, soups, sauces and dips

Hazardous waste disposal pumps now run smoothly
The Mono NOV projects and installation team has recently completed an important improvement to the White Rose Environmental hazardous waste disposal site at the Royal Bolton Hospital in Lancashire
Packaged sewage pumping for historic site
As part of the restoration of the Botley Mills museum, Mono NOV has designed, installed and commissioned a packaged system to macerate and pump wastewater and sewage to the main sewer
This means the company needs versatile pumping equipment, effective at handling many different products.
The Mono Widethroat pump is designed to transfer highly viscous or bulky materials such as fruit and vegetable waste slurries and is increasingly being installed into processes where waste material from food production must be moved and disposed of quickly, efficiently and reliably.
The positive displacement action of the pc pump does not rely on any centrifugal force to generate pressure energy, so there are no large changes in velocity of the pumped material and agitation and turbulence are minimised, providing a consistent flow.
The standard design of the Widethroat pump consists of an enlarged rectangular inlet with a screw conveyor to assist the product into the pumping element.
Options are available to modify the inlet with either large diameter augers or integral bridge breakers.
The range is based on single, two, four, six and eight stage pumps that can develop pressures up to 48 bar and capacities up to 215m/h.
Over the two year period the Mono pumps have been operating, Stuart Taylor, Engineering Manager for Parripak Foods, part of the W Jackson group, has been very happy with their performance: 'Mono was recommended to us by a supplier who knew that for our product types, Mono progressing cavity pumps would be the most suitable and efficient to use.
Their performance has suited our manufacturing requirements precisely'.
Accredited by EFSIS, The Soil Association, and Investors in People, Parripak Foods relies upon its manufacturing machinery to perform to a high standard.
Two years on, Mono pumps continue to operate efficiently and effectively at the Parripak Foods factory.
