General Description
The FFAJ Line is the definitive solution for the hygienic pumping of media that do not flow freely by gravity. Its design integrates an open rectangular throat (hopper) and a feed auger (helical screw) mounted on the coupling rod.
This sanitary-design auger forces the constant, steady feed of product into the rotor and stator cavities, ensuring smooth, repeatable flow without shear damage. Built entirely in polished AISI 316 stainless steel, it allows for quick disassembly for inspection and is fully compatible with Clean-in-Place (CIP) processes.
