Professional pump for syrup Chiaramello®

01 · NO POWER IN THE APIARY

And no generator in between

The usual alternative for distributing syrup away from home is to carry a generator, with its fuel and its noise, to run an electric pump. Here the engine is the pump: one step fewer, one machine fewer and one fuel tank instead of two.

The trolley with handle lets you move it around the site. The whole thing comes to around 45 kg, which you push rather than carry.

02 · 12.5 TO 17.5 LITRES A MINUTE

Depending on setting, between 330 and 460 rpm

Each revolution displaces 0.038 litres, so at 330 rpm you get 12.5 l/min and at 460 rpm, 17.5. In working terms: around 900 litres of syrup an hour, or of the order of 1,200 kg/h if what you are moving is honey.

Maximum pressure is 10 bar, enough to push through a long hose and some rise, which is what field distribution usually asks for.

03 · DN40 CONNECTIONS

The inch and a half of the common line

The connections are DN40, that is inch and a half: the usual size of hoses, fittings and mid-sized maturers. It goes onto the common line without adapters.

Worth bearing in mind if your honey house also runs large DN50 equipment: between the two you need a reducer, and it is better to have it identified beforehand than to discover it on the day.

04 · THE GUN IS SOLD SEPARATELY

And it is the gun that carries the control

Pumping is triggered from a button on the dispensing gun, powered by a 12 V battery. It is a convenient control — you start and stop from the hand that is dispensing — but be aware that the gun and its hose are sold separately.

In other words: without that set, the pump has nothing to govern it from in the field. If you are pricing the complete outfit, ask us for both together.

05 · PRECAUTIONS

Petrol and temperature

It is a petrol engine: it must not be run in an enclosed space or in a poorly ventilated one. Use it outdoors or with the building open, and refuel with the engine stopped and cold.

The declared working range reaches 90 °C, but that is what the pump withstands, not what the product allows: honey should not go past 40 °C if you want to keep its enzyme profile and not drive up HMF. The machine's figure is not the honey's ceiling.

06 · BEFORE YOU BUY

A field pump, not a fixed-room one.
