This document is a collection of case studies for the two-axis screw pump with degassing functionality, known as the "Deforming Pump," which allows for liquid transfer while degassing. It introduces examples that address one of the major challenges in pump transfer: the issue of air contamination in fluids, which leads to quality degradation and the generation of defective products.

For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.

**Deforming Pump (VQ Type)** Adopts a vacuum degassing method that allows for compact design. Additionally, degassing of high-viscosity liquids, which was difficult with conventional screw pumps, has become possible by equipping traditional twin-screw pumps with a vacuum generation device. It allows for degassing while transferring liquids, and retains the characteristics of conventional twin-screw pumps, such as non-contact, shear-free, pulsation-free, and non-agitation. **Blending Pump (BQ Type)** This is a twin-screw pump with stirring functionality that can mix multiple liquids while transferring them with just the pump itself. It eliminates the need for a separate stirrer (mixing process) that was previously necessary in the manufacturing process, dramatically simplifying the process by allowing a single compact pump to perform both liquid transfer and mixing. This not only significantly reduces equipment costs but also enables simultaneous liquid transfer and mixing, leading to a substantial reduction in production lead time and an increase in production efficiency. *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.*

The "Deforming Pump" is a pump that achieves high self-priming (-10m) "defoaming liquid transfer" while possessing the characteristics of a two-axis screw pump, such as non-contact, no shear, no pulsation, and no agitation. Since the shaft seal does not come into contact with the liquid, a mechanical seal is unnecessary. There is no concern about contamination from metal powders or other materials due to the absence of contact between parts. The need for a defoaming device is eliminated, allowing for a reduction in equipment costs. 【This pump solves the following challenges associated with transfer】 ■ Reducing the risk of air bubbles and foreign matter contamination in the liquid ■ Eliminating filling defects and molding defects ■ Preventing liquid leakage and seizing 【Features】 ■ The seal-less function of the shaft seal that does not come into contact with the liquid allows for complete dryness and self-priming capability ■ No priming water required, can run dry ■ Achieves high self-priming capability of -10.0m while being a non-contact pump ■ Minimal shape destruction for smooth transfer ■ Eliminates the need for a defoaming process with a defoaming device, resulting in reduced equipment costs *For more details, please request materials or view the PDF data available for download.

On the homepage of Fukuharu Metal Industry, we have published questions from customers regarding the "Deforming Pump," which can simultaneously achieve degassing and liquid transfer. Please refer to it, and if you have any questions, feel free to contact us. Our pumps are semi-custom products, so we can accommodate many requests that other companies cannot, so please consult with our sales representatives. We will recommend the most suitable pump after a meeting. 【Examples of inquiries (partial)】 ■ I want to remove air mixed in the transfer liquid. - We often experience filling and forming defects due to air bubbles. ■ I want to prevent liquid leakage. - The pump frequently leaks liquid, and I want to do something about it. ■ I want a sanitary pump with high self-priming capability. - I am struggling with the weak self-priming capability of the non-contact sanitary pump I am using. *You can download the product catalog for the "Deforming Pump" from the PDF download section.

Cracks and weight variations that occur during the molding process on processing lines for hamburgers and meatballs. Many of the root causes of these issues lie in the "air bubbles" trapped during the kneading and transfer processes. The sticky minced meat does not naturally release air, so molding it as is leads to reduced yield. Additionally, many sites face challenges with manual feeding into molding machines due to difficulties in transferring through piping, resulting in increased workload. Our "Deforming Pump VQ Type" solves these issues with a single piece of equipment. - Simultaneous processing of "transfer" and "defoaming" → Creates a strong vacuum inside the pump, removing air while transferring minced meat through piping. - Improved yield and stable quality → Provides a stable supply of minced meat free of air bubbles to the molding machine, preventing weight variations and the occurrence of cracks and cavities during molding. - Labor-saving and space-saving Automates the labor-intensive manual feeding process. Since large dedicated vacuum equipment is not required, it can be compactly integrated into existing lines.

In the manufacturing lines of automotive parts and chemical manufacturers, it is not uncommon to encounter issues where air gets mixed into grease during drum changes or when pumps run dry. Grease that has been contaminated with air and becomes "cloudy" falls outside quality standards, leading to the necessity of disposing of large quantities every month. Instead of discarding this "grease that has become unusable due to air bubbles," our company offers the 'Defoaming Function Equipped Twin-Screw Pump (Model VQ)' to regenerate it back to a usable state on-site. This product performs powerful vacuum defoaming inside the pump while transferring the grease. By simply passing the cloudy waste grease through this pump, the air bubbles that have been incorporated are removed, regenerating it into a quality product that is usable. We have a proven track record of eliminating the disposal loss of expensive grease, which amounted to several hundred kilograms per month, achieving significant cost reductions and minimizing environmental impact. We can also conduct actual liquid tests using your waste grease, so please check the regeneration effect for yourself.
