Piston Transfer Pumps
Streamline your food processing and bakery operations with Hinds-Bock Piston Transfer Pumps—the industrial standard for moving hot or cold flowable products with speed and precision. Engineered to eliminate manual heavy lifting and bucket brigades, these pumps gently transfer products directly from mixing bowls, kettles, buckets, or totes into your filling machine hoppers.
Whether you are handling delicate fruit fillings or heavy, particulate-rich stews, Hinds-Bock technology ensures your product reaches its destination with its quality and texture fully intact.
Advanced Engineering for Diverse Food Applications
The Hinds-Bock P-128 and P-250 models are designed for high-efficiency throughput. Capable of pumping up to 30 gallons per minute (GPM), these systems can be mounted on stainless steel stands for mobility or secured to the floor for stationary, piped-in pumping.
This flexibility makes them the ideal solution for transferring a wide variety of products, including:
- Soups & Gravies: Thin liquids like soup bases, bisques, and chili, along with savory gravies.
- Chunky Condiments: Guacamole, blended salsas, flowable queso with inclusions.
- Bakery Essentials: Muffin, cupcake, bundt, and loaf cake batters with fruit, nut, and other particulates.
- Prepared Meals: Macaroni and cheese, proteins with sauce, vegetables with sauce, large inclusions needing product integrity.
Why Choose Hinds-Bock Transfer Pumps?
Manual product transfer is slow, labor-intensive, and prone to spills. Hinds-Bock piston pumps solve these challenges by offering:
- Gentle Particulate Handling: Designed with wide ports, large sanitary fittings, and specialized valves, these pumps move flowable products with large, soft chunks without crushing or bridging.
- Low Shear Technology: The gentle piston action prevents product damage from cavitation or dead-heading, ensuring your batters and fillings maintain their desired consistency.
- Maximum Versatility: Independently adjustable suction and discharge stroke speeds allow you to fine-tune the pump for a broad range of viscosities—from thin noodle soups to thick shredded meat fillings.
- Industrial Mobility: Equipped with heavy-duty swivel casters, these units are easy to maneuver around the production floor for cleaning or repositioning.
- Sanitary Excellence: Built to withstand high-pressure, full wash-down environments, these pumps are USDA approved and feature easy assembly/disassembly with a standard spanner wrench.
