PCM - Food Mixing and Filling Systems

PCM are market leaders in the manufacture of specialist food processing systems and equipment, including positive displacement pumps. Our aim is to provide innovative technical solutions to meet industry requirements.

Moving high-quality products through your supply chain depends on your ability to keep vital ingredients moving in the production line. Our pump systems preserve the quality and integrity of your products, while helping to ensure that they enter your supply chain in a timely, reliable manner.

Designed for Cleaning and Sterilisation In Place (CIP / SIP) and built to the highest hygiene standards, our systems can handle particles up to 45mm in diameter and products with viscosities over one million centipoises.

DOSYFILL™ FILLING AND LAYERING SYSTEMS

PCM's filling and layering systems enable you to add value to your production facility by filling new and more complex compositions using your existing packaging equipment. Moreover you can add new filling stations to an existing food production line, thanks to our portable filling systems.

PCM's systems demonstrate the ability to fill any form of container accurately with minimal wastage. They can also be used to fill any pot, jar, mould, tube, bag, bottle carton or dish.

Key benefits of PCM's filling and layering systems include:

• Complex and innovative filling of fragile food products, with or without solids
• Additional dosing element or modular dosing for more production versatility

DOSYFRUIT™ HYGENIC FRUIT-DOSING SYSTEMS

PCM hygenic fruit-dosing systems enable you to accurately and reliably distribute the ingredients for complex recipes. The flexibility of PCM dosing systems allows you to supply your distributors with small production-runs with maximum shelf life, rather than large batches.

Key benefits of PCM's in-line dosing system include:

• Accurate dosing based on conical valve dosing pump technology
• Careful handling of products with solids or particles
• Hygienic design enabling CIP and SIP

DOSYMIX™ INLINE DYNAMIC MIXERS

The PCM inline dynamic mixer demonstrates self-priming and self-suction capability for improved productivity. The Dosymix offers damage-free blending; our PCM systems mix by progressive contact rather than beating, which preserves the texture and properties of the different products, such as whipped egg whites in cream, chopped vegetables in soup and whole fruit in yogurt.

Our inline mixers enable you to move from batch mixing to continuous mixing, without worrying about changes to product texture. Key benefits of the system include:

• Hygienic design, enabling CIP and SIP
• Safe handling of fragile products with solids, ensuring quality of the finished goods
• Just-in-time injection for increased productivity

SAFE FOOD-TRANSFER EQUIPMENT

Although product integrity is a concern at every step of food processing, we recognise that the risk of damage is highest during the transfer stage. We manufacture specialised equipment to enable us to meet the special requirements posed by this risk.

We offer the Viscofeeder™, for the safe transfer of highly viscous products. This product offers specific quantity dosing of hyper-viscous and stick products. It operates through feeding of high-pressure pumps without introducing air.

PROGRESSING CAVITY PUMPS

Additionally, we manufacture Moineau™ progressing cavity pumps. These are ideal for tasks that require a steady flow regardless of product viscosity or pressure, and offer a very low shear.

The PCM Delasco™ hose pumps are versatile and robust; ideal for tasks that require dry priming, they offer simple cleaning and maintenance. We also manufacture Dosys™ pumps, the only model of pump of the market with the ability to let the user accurately dose fluids with high solid content at low flow rates. This pump gives an unrivalled level of control and allows for ease of cleaning.
