BROQUET Gear Pumps for Chocolate
Description
Specially developed gear pumps are available for the production of chocolate and confectionery, suitable for use in all process stages—from cocoa bean to finished end product.
The pumps are designed to reliably handle a wide range of recipes and viscosities. They ensure gentle product transfer while preventing the separation of fat and solid components—an essential factor in maintaining consistent product quality.
Through targeted engineering, particularly low rotational speeds and controlled product flow within the pump, unwanted heating and caramelization of the medium are avoided.
Depending on the application, various rotor geometries and pump configurations are available, adapted to process conditions, product characteristics, and conveying tasks. The pumps are available in both cast iron and stainless steel and cover capacities ranging from approximately 0.5 to 30 t/h.
Thanks to the different connection options, BROQUET pumps can be installed at any point in your system:
| Connection type | Pump type |
| 180° | BF-BX-BB pump |
| 90° vertical-radial | MF-MB VR pump |
| 90° vertical-axial | MF-MB VA pump |
