St Helens-based Lea Green Foods reports that a peristaltic pump from Watson-Marlow Pumps is accurately and hygienically dosing oil into vegetable trays to make pastes and purees.
"We took a 520 series pump on trial," says engineering manager Barry Rushton. "We needed a pump that could operate at a variable flow rate, depending on volume, speed and time of production. We tried it using a selection of oils and it performed very well."
