Hygienic Dosing Systems for Abrasive Spice Pastes – Proven Performance with ViscoTec Pumps

Handling abrasive food pastes? Discover how ViscoTec’s hygienic dosing pumps — available in the UK through Capri Systec — deliver exceptional performance in food-grade applications that demand durability, precision, and hygiene.

Precision Dosing for Challenging Food Materials

Abrasive spice pastes, thick sauces, and marinades containing coarse ingredients like salt grains and herbs can cause serious wear to traditional filling equipment. This often results in production downtime and increased maintenance.

That’s why leading manufacturers turn to ViscoTec for metering and dispensing systems built specifically for solids-laden and abrasive fluids.

Built on Endless Piston Technology

ViscoTec’s endless piston principle — a variation of progressive cavity technology — enables low-shear, pulsation-free fluid handling that delivers:

• Accurate dosing of abrasive and viscous media

• Minimal wear, even in long-shift or continuous operations

• Easy-to-clean, hygienic construction for food and pharma environments

• Lower total cost of ownership through reduced maintenance

Explore ViscoTec’s full range of solutions for dosing abrasive food materials with maximum efficiency.

Put to the Test – and Passed with No Wear

To prove the system’s durability, a 2VHD12-3D pump from ViscoTec was subjected to a 7-day continuous stress test using a spice paste filled with herbs and coarse salt. Halfway through, the test simulated a worst-case dry-run scenario — with no product feed for half a day.

The outcome:

• No dimensional or optical wear on the rotor-stator geometry

• No performance loss, even under intensified load

• Continued flawless operation post-test

A strong confirmation of ViscoTec’s ability to perform under extreme conditions.
