The French champion of wine pumps
Eureka – September 2019
“PMH Vinicole: France’s champion wine pump turns to industry” says Eureka
It’s with this most advantageous title that editor Dominique Nocart, signs a double-page spread on PMH Vinicole in issue 92 of this autumn 2019.
A lengthy, well-argued article that faithfully reflects the company’s steady progress in the wine equipment sector since 2009. Ten years later, it was under the name of PMH Equipement that the company made its mark on the food industry equipment market.
Two new food pumps:
A helical lobe pump
Spearheading this diversification: the SMARTPOMPE. Launched in 2018 on the basis of the Oenopompe, the latter having sold over 1,200 units in 18 months, this volumetric pump with helical lobes is specially designed for the food industry, hence its blue color.
Equipment reserved for uses not regulated by EHEDG or FDA certification. The pump can be fitted with NBR nitrile rubber lobes.
A flexible impeller pump
Although positive in more ways than one, the article fails to mention a second innovation launched in early 2019, a food pump with a flexible impeller: the SMARTFLEX. Still blue in color, this pump is lighter and suitable for pressures of up to 3 bar, compared with 6 bar for the Smartpompe. Both pumps are equipped as standard with an LCD screen and an induction remote control with display. As an option, these 2 pump models can also be supplied with an electromagnetic meter and touch-screen control.
