 |  With thirty plus years of proven performance and reliability in the toughest industrial equipment, process and metering applications, these pumps are the undisputed pump of choice for trouble-free operation where other pumps simply cannot survive. EPM Series pumps are utilized for a wide range of metering and dosing applications such as can printing, additive dosing, container filling, disinfection/sterilization solution metering and spray coating. To meet the specific requirements of the metering industry, EPM pumps are unmatched in their precise performance for dosing chemicals in the food and beverage industry. Compared to other simplex, duplex and triplex metering pumps EPM pumps cost significantly less. EPM pumps operate at flow rates to 2,100 GPH and pressures to 2,500 PSI and can run dry without damage. |

 | Alb Klein Ohio AKO pinch valves are used for flow control of sanitary-grade products because the food grade sleeve is the only wetted part of a pinch valve, so there are no other packing, seals or lubrication in contact with the food material. These easy to clean and maintain sanitary valves have no cavities or dead spaces where material can buildup. Pinch valves are also used extensively on food by-products and waste products, as well as in farms and agricultural applications, fish hatcheries and around livestock. Some common examples include grains after brewing for beer, grapes after crushing for wine, seeds and skins removed from fruit, hulls and shells removed from nuts, wastewater from washing & boiling, sugar by-products after refining, animal waste after butchering, skins and rinds after processing, soap wastes & tallow and effluent discharge. |
 |  Vector Pumps are roller actuated peristaltic hose pumps and are used primarily for transfer of liquefied food products because there are no internal valves, mechanical seals or other mechanisms within the pump that could result in product residue and contamination. They are more efficient to operate than air operated diaphragm pumps and offer some additional flexibility in many applications. Using FDA approved materials such as Pharmed® and Varprene® Vector pumps provide an economical way to transfer fluids that are otherwise difficult to pump. These are typically operated with a standard electric motor (gear reduced) and controlled via a variable frequency drive for precise flow control. Their gentle pumping action enables them to pump shear sensitive fluids and slurries containing relatively large solids. Vector Pumps have excellent suction lift capabilities and maintenance is typically limited to just a few hose changes per year. |
 |  Factory Direct Pipeline Products Inc. is the largest online wholesaler of industrial strainers and filtration equipment with over 500 types of strainers and filters with more than 800 filter bags and strainer baskets to choose from. In food and beverage plants their 316SS filter housings and FDA approved filter bags are used to purify water, oil and other ingredients. As compared to cartridge filters, filter bags provide more holding capacity and are ultimately both more effective and less expensive to use. Filter housings can consist of 1 to 24 chambers (up to 3,000 GPM) in simplex or duplex configurations. Factory Directs filter bags will fit most competitors filter housings and no charge samples can be provided for evaluation. |
