Another area where Mouvex pumps are utilized extensively is within the wine making industry. The gentle handling of Mouvex pump technology is ideal for wine production. Volumetric consistency and exceptional product recovery are better ensured, all while keeping hygienic standards high.
Eccentric Disc Technology
An essential key to the pump technology that makes these processes possible is Mouvex’s Eccentric Disc Pump Technology. This technology has been specifically designed for extremely hygienic operations, such as the beverage industry. These pumps are unique in that they have an innovative, seal-less design. This design reduces the risk of product contamination, costly leakages; and helps avoid spills, waste and product spoilage. The eccentric disc technology ensures the production processes remain consistent; keeping recipes and formulas intact to deliver the experience intended.
Application Successes
The global beverage conglomerate, Coca-Cola, has experienced the advantages of Mouvex’s technology.
