Peel and Cuttings Transfer

Food processing facilities generate large volumes of peels, pulp, and organic waste from cutting and preparation lines. These materials are often mixed with rinse water to form a slurry that must be transferred to collection or composting systems for disposal or reuse.

Challenges:
Peels and fibrous organic matter tend to bind and wrap around impellers, causing clogging and reduced efficiency. The combination of soft solids and sticky starches can form mats that are difficult to pump using conventional designs. Sanitation standards also require easy access for cleaning and inspection.

Solution:
Hevvy/Toyo pumps with open or recessed impellers provide clog-free transfer of fibrous and organic slurries. Their agitator option keeps solids evenly suspended, while smooth internal passages minimize buildup. Available in stainless steel or elastomer-lined materials, they deliver durable, food-safe, and reliable performance for continuous peel and cuttings transfer operations.
