Volumetric Pump




High pressure positive displacement piston pumps
The FBF Italia positive displacement pump is designed with the same construction principles as our homogenizers, therefore maintaining high qualitative standards throughout. On the exterior, they are distinguished from a homogenizer chiefly by the absence of the homogenization group.
This shared engineering DNA means every volumetric pump benefits from the same attention to sealing, materials and finish that goes into our high-pressure homogenizers delivering constant, pulsation-controlled flow for processes where dosing accuracy matters as much as throughput.
Since it isn't feasible to showcase a specific dimension table for the piston PD pump here, we encourage you to reach out to our support team directly for capacity, pressure and sizing guidance suited to your line.
The construction criteria of FBF Italia's volumetric pumps are the same used for our homogenisers, therefore synonymous with high quality standards.
These pumps are used for the volumetric pumping of products containing pieces, such as diced tomatoes or fruit, soups, yogurt, jams, etc., even in the presence of high counter pressures.

- Valve group assemblies have replaceable seats and hemispherical valve shutters, ideal for processing a variety of products
- Spring type overpressure valve, sanitary execution with replaceable shutter and sea
- 4 poles, 3 phases, AC electric drive from leading OEM (assisted ventilation and thermistor for units with variable capacity)
- Built-in electrical panel for fixed capacity with stainless-steel casing on all units
- Electrical panel for variable capacity with built-in stainless- steel casing only for FBF series 3, 4, and 5. Remaining series have a remote electrical panel
- Aseptic Version with “Sterility barriers” traced with steam condensate created by a built-in system.
- Digital pressure transducers and Analogue gauges with 4-20 mA output
- Pulsation dampeners on product inlet connection, for special aseptic version as well.
- Built-in control system (electrical system, start/stop button, pressure indicators)
- Inlet pressure gauge with alarm contact
- Initial set of spare parts supplied with the machine includes the following: full set of gaskets, a set of valves springs and a com- plete overpressure valve set, set of ordinary maintenance tools, lubricating oil, instruction and maintenance manuals (2 copies + CD ROM)
- Frame is made of carbon steel tubular square section, powder painted, covered with dismountable satin finished stainless steel cladding.
- Pump body is made of a thick-walled, premium grade, high- resistance cast iron, engineered to withstand heavy loads and cancel out vibrations.
- This organ, is supported by heavy duty roller bearings with bronze bearings used only on the crank pins (5 roller bearings are installed from series FBF 5 on).
- Power transmission with double reduction stage: “V” belts/ pulleys, integrated gear reducer (FBF 5 onwards) or external gear reducer (FBF 3 and 4). Semi–automatic tensioning system, with two helicoidal gears in the pump body (slow gear coupled directly on the crankshaft) is present from series FBF 5 onwards.
- Pressurized lubricating system with oil level sensor. Oil cooling system by tubular heat-exchanger (from series FBF 5 on only). Provided with irregular pressure alarm, high temperature alarm, driven impurities filtering. For the best thermal balance/dissipation all transmission’s components are oil splashed.
