Bredel hose pumps are contributing to a sustainable solution for steam potato peeling provided by TOMRA Food which reduces water usage, water treatment and food waste.
The TOMRA Dry Peel Separator (DPS) uses Bredel as a dry-waste pump which enables food processors to reduce water usage and recover the potato skin and starch for use in animal feed or anaerobic digestion (biogas).
The peel waste flows to the Bredel hose pump, which transfers the material to the food processor’s storage location. Bredel minimises downtime and maintenance while handling steamed vegetable skin waste which contains high concentrations of solids, dirt, grit and sand.
