ABSTRACT:
A compact, relatively low cost twin piston pump (20) especially adapted for the pumping of foods (e.g. juices, puddings or particulates such as stews and chilies) is provided which includes quick detach yoke and clevis assemblies (108, 124, 110, 126) connecting the reciprocable pistons (100, 102) with their associated hydraulic cylinders (116, 118), thereby permitting quick cleanup of the machine (20). A jacking screw plate (136) is used for forward mounting of the piston and cylinder assemblies (84, 86, 116, 118) coupled with the sleeves (42, 44) and associated pistons (100, 102). This permits precise adjustment of the working components of the machine, while eliminating expensive bearings and heavy duty framing members. The pump (20) is also provided with a slide plate-type valve (38, 184) for controlling output of product from the pump (20). In one valve embodiment (184) a two-part metallic slide plate assembly (192, 200) is sandwiched between a pair of apertured nylon plates (186). One of the slide plate parts (200) is of lesser thickness than the primary part (192), so as to permit limited fore-and-aft movement of the part (200) for sealing purposes. A unique hydraulic system employing a master pressure reducing valve (222) and a slaved pressure reducing valve (224) is employed for creating a pressure differential across the part (200) in order to bias the same for sealing purposes.
