The gut pump is used to transport post-slaughter packages from the evisceration hall to their storage area.
OPERATION
The basic element of the structure is a peristatic pump with a drive, an inlet basket and a system of pipes for waste transport. The drive mechanism of the pump causes the rotor equipped with two alternately mounted rollers to rotate. The intestine is then compressed by the rollers, causing the discharge side to be cut off from the suction side. The expansion of the intestine to its initial shape (on the suction side), just behind the roller, creates a vacuum that sucks up the waste collected in the inlet basket. The sucked waste, contained in the intestine between the rollers, is pushed towards the discharge pipe. As a result of the pressure displaced by the roller on the discharge side, the waste is forced into the pipe system and transported to its destination. The effectiveness of the pump is based on the elastic capacity of the intestine, i.e. the intestine compressed by the rollers must return to its original shape.
