Pumping Apple Pulp

[Tony Cross‏]

I would like to pump apple pulp from a container from under my scratter , into the top of my bladder press. Tried a submersible open impeller septic pump but no good. It was a bit of a long shot and didn't cost much to buy, and it worked while there was a fair amount of juice in the pulp, but not as the dried out.  Can anyone share their experience with this issue?

Just what I am looking for too! I did a bit of research last year and got nowhere. Any ideas gratefully received.

In large cider factories this is done with progressive cavity or “mohno” pumps but these would be inflexible and expensive for the small user. 

The technology does exist though e.g. https://www.castlepumps.com/info-hub/progressive-cavity-pump-guide/

Would a small augar or  Archimedes screw pump work?

We are in Canada and have used both a 1.5" and 3" waukesha positive displacment pumps to pump pomace.  Works best when the pomace is quite liquid but if you have a conical hopper into the intake that helps.

This is the sort of thing I will be looking at, so if anyone has any experience of these I would be grateful of your thoughts.

We pump juice back into the slurry when we get tough pumping

A dedicated unit like the Kiesel one shown are quite expensive, It is to me still a bit confusing on how to set something up using a collection drum and some sort of pump. If anyone has any pictures of their home made set ups would be beneficial . It is a bit risky to buy a pump just to hope it might work, just to see it fail.
