Questions
Why pump product instead of conveying it?
Hydraulic conveying in water can be cheaper and more flexible than mechanical conveyors, provided the pump does not clog or damage the product. Bigtem pumps have smooth cast interiors and a vortex supply tank that draws floating product into the pump.
