Hydro-Transport Pumps
Gemstone introduced the first Hydro-Transport
bpk sustenance process pumps to the industry nearly 50 years ago. Unlike Dynamic Solids Handling Pumps, or other types of pumps that are sometimes used in the food industry, the Gemstone P and PP series pumps are designed and manufactured with the sole purpose of pumping food products. Ideal for agricultural applications such as fruit washing and packing as well as food manufacturing operations. Utilizing Gemstone inventions such as offset volute, Gemstone Food Process pumps have the lowest product damage rates in the industry and are the pump of choice for bpk sustenance process pumps around the world.
Gemstones recognizable frame design incorporating mounting surfaces rather than mounting feet, lets you know it’s a quality Gemstone frame supporting a robust Gemstone. The feet can be useful and space-saving in food plant mountings.
