What is the difference between a jet pump and a plunger pump?

2025-07-25

The jet pump and the plunger pump are two different types of pumps, with the main differences reflected in the following aspects:

 

1.Working Principle

  • Jet Pump: It is a fluid pressurization device that primarily utilizes high-pressure working fluids (water, air, steam) to generate a high-speed jet through a nozzle, which enters a high-pressure chamber, thereby increasing the pressure to meet operational requirements. It relies entirely on the dynamic motion between fluids. It has strong self-priming capability and can handle gas-liquid mixed fluids.

  • Plunger Pump: The motor drives the pump's crankshaft to rotate via large and small pulleys and a narrow belt. The crankshaft then drives the connecting rod and plunger to perform reciprocating motion. When the plunger moves backward, the inlet valve opens, allowing liquid to enter the pump body until the plunger reaches its rearmost position (180° rotation of the crankshaft), completing the suction process. The plunger then begins to move forward, compressing the liquid in the pump's valve chamber, increasing the pressure. As a result, the inlet valve closes, and the discharge valve opens, allowing the liquid to be pushed out by the plunger through the discharge valve. The flow rate can be adjusted by changing the size of the plunger.

 

2.Structural Differences

  • Jet Pump: Simple in structure, primarily generates power through fluid movement, with lower maintenance costs in the long run (no vulnerable parts) and lower sealing requirements.

  • Plunger Pump: Mainly generates power through the reciprocating motion of the plunger. Compared to the jet pump, it has higher long-term maintenance costs and extremely high sealing requirements to prevent plunger leakage.

 

3.Application Scenarios

  • Jet Pump: Deep well water extraction, chemical industry (capable of transporting corrosive media,etc).

Plunger Pump: High-pressure cleaning, petroleum industry (mud pump, water injection pump, etc.), water well drilling, etc.

 

The jet pump primarily relies on hydrodynamic force for operation, making it suitable for simple working conditions and offering corrosion resistance. On the other hand, the plunger pump operates through the reciprocating motion of a plunger, making it ideal for high-pressure, high-efficiency, and stable-flow applications. You can choose the appropriate pump based on different working conditions and requirements. Elephant Machinery offers both plunger pump and jetting pump in our product lineup.

Maintenance and working principle of side-seal liquid packaging machine

2025-07-25

Introduction:

Side-seal liquid packaging machine is a key equipment in the packaging industry, mainly used to fill liquids such as yogurt, milk and juice into bag packaging. The working principle of this machine is to form the roll film into a bag shape and seal it while filling.

Working principle:

Film conveying and forming: The roll film is loaded onto the film roll and conveyed to the forming tube through a series of rollers and guides. The forming tube forms the flat film into a cylindrical shape, preparing for the subsequent filling and sealing process.

Filling and sealing: As the pre-formed film roller moves forward, the filling nozzle accurately distributes the liquid product into the formed bag. At the same time, the sealing mechanism, which usually consists of upper and lower sealing rods equipped with heating elements, applies heat and pressure to seal the edges of the packaging bag. The sealing process is carried out on both sides of the packaging bag, hence the name "side sealing". Sealing parameters such as temperature, pressure and time can be precisely controlled to ensure a strong and leak-proof seal.

Maintenance:

Daily cleaning: After each production, thoroughly clean the internal and external surfaces of the machine, especially the filling area, sealing rod and film conveying path. Remove any residual liquid, dirt or packaging material to prevent contamination and potential failures in subsequent operations. Use a clean soft cloth or suitable cleaning agent to ensure that electrical components are not corroded by moisture.

Lubrication: The milk packing machine needs to regularly lubricate the moving parts of the machine, such as gears, chains and linear guides, with recommended lubricants. Proper lubrication reduces friction, wear and tear, ensures smooth operation and extends the service life of the machine. Please follow the manufacturer's guidance on lubrication intervals and lubricant types.

Seal component inspection: Regularly check the sealing strip for wear, damage or residue accumulation. Clean the sealing surface and replace any worn sealing elements in time to maintain stable sealing quality. In addition, check the heating elements and temperature sensors to ensure precise temperature control.

Film feeding system adjustment: Monitor the film feeding tension and guide mechanism to ensure smooth and consistent film feeding. Adjust the tension control device and check the film guide device for any wear or misalignment, which may affect the film forming and packaging quality.

Electrical system inspection: Check electrical connections, wiring and control system components for any signs of damage, looseness or malfunction. Ensure that the machine's control panel, sensors and actuators are functioning properly to maintain accurate operation and safety.

Conclusion:

The yogurt packaging machine plays a vital role in the efficient packaging of liquid products. By understanding its working principles and implementing appropriate maintenance measures, operators can optimize machine performance, ensure stable packaging quality and extend its service life. Regular maintenance can not only avoid potential production downtime, but also ensure the safety and hygiene of packaged products, meeting the needs of the packaging industry and the expectations of consumers.

The important role of RO water treatment equipment

2025-07-25

In areas where clean water is scarce, especially in Africa, water treatment equipment is like a beacon of hope. Among them, the RO system (reverse osmosis system) is an outstanding solution, representing advanced water treatment equipment that can transform impure water into safe drinking water.

 

 

Structure and function

As shown in the figure, a typical RO system contains several key components. Three cylindrical pressure vessels contain semipermeable membranes - the heart of the system. These membranes act as molecular filters and can remove up to 99% of pollutants, including bacteria, viruses, heavy metals and dissolved solids. The equipment also includes a pre-filter (usually activated carbon and sediment filters, as shown in the material diagram), a high-pressure pump and a water storage tank. The pre-filter first removes larger particles and chlorine to protect the fragile RO membrane. The pump then presses the water through the membrane to purify it.

 

 

Application and impact on the human body

The application of water treatment machinery is very wide. They provide reliable clean water to communities, industries and medical institutions. In Africa, where waterborne diseases are prevalent, these systems have significantly reduced diseases caused by contaminated water. They empower communities by reducing the time spent fetching water from distant sources, allowing people, especially women and children, to focus on education and economic activities.

 

 

Maintenance Considerations

Proper maintenance is essential to the longevity and efficiency of water treatment machinery. Regular replacement of pre-filters (every 3-6 months) and reverse osmosis membranes (every 2-3 years) ensures optimal performance (specific replacement and cleaning schedules depend on usage and water quality). Granular activated carbon (black granules in the picture) and ion exchange resins (amber granules) must also be regenerated or replaced regularly. Monitoring water pressure and water quality can help detect problems early. For African communities, training local operators and developing maintenance plans are key steps to achieving sustainable water security.

 

 

Conclusion

Water treatment equipment is more than just water ro system, it is a lifeline. As shown in the figure, every component, from mechanical equipment to filtration materials, plays a vital role in providing a clean water source. For African countries facing water challenges, these systems provide a sustainable path to improving public health, economic development, and overall quality of life. By investing in and maintaining these systems, communities can unlock a future where clean water is no longer a privilege, but a reality.

What is the shelf life difference between hot-fill and cold-fill juice?

2025-07-25

In the beverage industry, hot-fill and cold-fill juices are two common packaging methods. Here is a detailed comparison of the differences between the two:

 

 

Sterilization Process

Hot-fill beverages are heated to high temperatures (85°C-95°C) to eliminate bacteria, yeast, mold, and other microorganisms. The hot product is then filled into sterilized containers. As the product cools, a vacuum forms inside the container, extending the shelf life. In contrast, cold-fill beverages do not require heating. The product and container are sterilized separately before filling, using methods such as filtration, UV, or chemical sterilization. After filling, the product is sealed in a sterile environment to prevent contamination.

Shelf Life

Hot-fill beverages generally have a longer shelf life, generally 6 to 12 months. Some hot-fill juices can be stored for up to 18 months without refrigeration. However, cold-fill beverages have a shorter shelf life. If not refrigerated, they can usually be stored for 1 to 6 months, and some require refrigeration and have a shelf life of only a few days to a few weeks.

 

 

Nutritional value and flavor

Hot-filled beverages may lose some heat-sensitive nutrients due to high-temperature processing and cause flavor degradation. Cold-filled beverages retain more natural nutrients and flavors because they are not processed at high temperatures. Its taste and nutritional content are closer to the original juice.

Production cost

Hot filling requires heating and cooling processes, consumes more energy, and increases production costs. In addition, it also requires heat-resistant packaging materials such as glass jars or aluminum cans, which are relatively expensive. Cold filling uses standard PET plastic or other packaging materials, which reduces material costs. However, it requires an aseptic filling environment and advanced equipment, so the initial investment is higher.

 

 

Equipment requirements

Hot filling requires equipment that can sterilize at high temperatures and handle heat-resistant packaging materials. Cold filling requires aseptic filling equipment and an aseptic production environment. For small-scale production, a "small juice filling machine" may be more appropriate. For bag packaging, a "bag juice filling machine" or "juice bag filling and sealing machine" can be used for hot filling and cold filling.

Product safety

Hot filling can effectively kill bacteria and other microorganisms to ensure product safety. However, it may slightly reduce the content of some nutrients. Cold filling ensures product safety by maintaining a sterile environment during the filling process, but requires strict control of the production process to prevent contamination.

 

 

Market positioning

Hot-filled beverages are usually positioned as affordable, long-shelf-life products suitable for mass consumption. Cold-filled beverages, on the other hand, emphasize freshness and naturalness, and usually target the mid-to-high-end market, attracting consumers who pursue nutritious and delicious beverages.

In summary, hot-filled and cold-filled beverages each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Hot filling is ideal for extending shelf life and reducing the use of preservatives, while cold filling can retain nutrition and flavor, but requires stricter production control. When choosing a packaging method, manufacturers should consider factors such as product characteristics, target market, and cost budget to make the most appropriate choice.
