Thanks for the suggestion LittleInch,
We currently use a similar product but we want to design something that we can integrate into our system. I have actually considered making a sort of automated hand pump within the system where a linear actuator would do the pumping action at the press of a...
IRstuff - Volume per day would be around 5 Litres. What type of pumping did the Juicero use? :p
EdStainless - very good point about changing the tubes w/ bag at same time. The chocolate syrup pump will be used in an under the counter pumping setup, not unlike under the counter dairy dispensing...
IRstuff - that is a nice idea. My concern with this one would be that it would need to be filled often. I am pumping from a large bag or container of chocolate syrup (5-10Litres)
The flow rate would be about 10mL/s. Also it would not be for continuous flow but instead for single shots at inconsistent timings. I have also looked into peristaltic and I was mainly worried about the frequency of replacing the tubing. The metering pumps may be a bit out of my price range - I...
Hi all,
I am researching ways to pump small doses (~10-40grams) of chocolate syrup with an accuracy constraint of +/- 10%. One thing I noticed with the syrup is that the viscosity can vary greatly with temperature, 10000-25000 centipoises. The environment this will be used in does not have a...
