The pump’s capability of pumping large particulates while providing powerful suction and smooth, consistent flow rates provides a solution for pumping marinated boneless poultry products. Unnecessary labor is eliminated because the pump mechanically spreads the product directly onto the conveyor. Users also can customize the extruded poultry product to their desired thickness, eliminating the excess labor of spreading the product onto the conveyor belt. Because of the mechanical spreading, which takes the place of human labor, there is a shortened conveyor span used, creating a more evenly spread product at a faster rate and using a shorter distance.
